Eltek ASA : The Board of Directors of Eltek unanimously recommends a voluntary cash offer from Delta to acquire all of the shares of Eltek

(Drammen, Norway, 15 December 2014) The Board of Directors of Eltek ASA ("Eltek"; OSE ticker code: "ELT") announces an agreement with Deltronics (Netherlands) B.V. (the "Offeror"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Delta Electronics, Inc., whereby the Offeror will offer to acquire all of the shares of Eltek through a voluntary cash offer of NOK 11.75 per share. The Board of Directors of Eltek recommends the shareholders of Eltek to accept the offer.

The Offeror and Eltek have entered into a transaction agreement regarding an acquisition of Eltek by the Offeror. Under the terms of the agreement, the Offeror will put forward a recommended voluntary cash offer (the "Voluntary Offer") pursuant to the Norwegian Securities Trading Act for all of the shares of Eltek.

Deltronics (Netherlands) B.V. is a 100% owned subsidiary of Delta Electronics, Inc., which was founded in 1971 and is the global leader in power and thermal management solutions. Delta Group's mission is "To provide innovative, clean and energy-efficient solutions for a better tomorrow," which guides its core business in developing innovative energy-saving products and solutions in the categories of power electronics, energy management, and smart green life. Delta Group is looking forward to extending its business operations and sales offices worldwide through the merger with Eltek.

"This transaction is very positive for Eltek and its stakeholders. Through a combination with Delta, Eltek becomes an even stronger force in the power conversion industry. In addition, the Voluntary Offer represents highly attractive value creation for Eltek's shareholders", says Erik Thorsen, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Eltek.

The consideration offered will be NOK 11.75 per Eltek share (the "Offer Price"). The Offer Price represents a premium of approximately 20.3% to the closing share price of Eltek on Friday 12 December 2014. The Offer Price represents a premium of approximately 35.1% compared to the closing share price of Eltek on 30 October 2014, the last trading day prior to the announcement regarding Eltek's evaluation of strategic options for the future development of Eltek, and a premium of 34.7% compared to the one month volume weighted average share price of Eltek for the period ending on 30 October 2014. The Voluntary Offer values the total share capital of Eltek at approximately NOK 3.87 billion.

Shareholders representing 76.6% of the total share capital of Eltek, including Eltek's largest shareholders, Ketlav Invest AS, CC Industries Inc. and Eltek Holding AS, have irrevocably undertaken to accept the Voluntary Offer for their shares in the Company. The members of the Board of Directors and the CEO of Eltek have also irrevocably undertaken to accept the Voluntary Offer in respect of the shares they hold.

After having carefully reviewed and evaluated the terms and conditions of the Voluntary Offer, the Board of Directors of Eltek is of the view that an acceptance of the Voluntary Offer is in the best interest of Eltek's shareholders. The Board of Directors has been assisted by its financial advisers Citigroup Global Markets Limited and Arctic Securities AS in the evaluation of the Offer Price and the Board of Directors has taken into account, amongst other things, such advice to recommend the Voluntary Offer.

The Offer will not be subject to any financing or due diligence conditions. The complete details of the Voluntary Offer, including all terms and conditions, will be contained in an offer document (the "Voluntary Offer Document") to be sent to Eltek's shareholders following review and approval by the Oslo Stock Exchange pursuant to Chapter 6 of the Norwegian Securities Trading Act.

As will be further detailed and specified in the Voluntary Offer Document, the completion of the Voluntary Offer will inter alia be subject to the following conditions being satisfied or waived by Offeror: (i) all approvals required from regulatory authorities for completion of the Voluntary Offer shall have been obtained, (ii) the Board of Directors of Eltek shall not have adversely amended or withdrawn its recommendation of the Voluntary Offer, (iii) no intervention shall have taken place by any court or other governmental or regulatory authority which restrains or prohibits the completion of the Voluntary Offer, and (iv) Eltek shall have complied in all material respects with all its covenants, undertakings and obligations under the transaction agreement between the Offeror and Eltek.

The Offeror is in the process of preparing the Voluntary Offer Document. The Voluntary Offer Document will be sent to Eltek's shareholders as soon as it has been approved by the Oslo Stock Exchange. Such approval is expected on or about 12 January 2015. The offer period for the Voluntary Offer will be 20 US business days from the date of the Voluntary Offer Document being released, unless extended by the Offeror.

The Voluntary Offer will not be made in any jurisdiction in which the making of the Voluntary Offer would not be in compliance with the laws of such jurisdiction.
