LightPath Technologies Announces Closing of Acquisition of G5 Infrared LLC

, /PRNewswire/ -- LightPath Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: LPTH) ("LightPath," the "Company," or "we"), a leading provider of next-generation optics and imaging systems for both defense and commercial applications, today announced that it has completed the previously announced acquisition of G5 Infrared, LLC ("G5 Infrared"), a New Hampshire-based company specializing in infrared optical solutions (the "Transaction"). The Transaction closed on February 18, 2025 (the "Closing Date"). The acquisition of G5 Infrared marks a significant step forward in LightPath's strategy to become a leading provider of infrared imaging solutions in the $9 billion infrared imaging market. G5 Infrared's high-end cooled infrared camera product line, with several established programs of record, expands LightPath's product portfolio and strengthens its presence in the defense and government markets. The transaction adds meaningful scale, provides opportunities to integrate LightPath's proprietary BlackDiamond™ glass with G5's products, and positions the combined company for continued growth. Sam Rubin, President and CEO of LightPath, said: "The acquisition of G5 Infrared is a significant milestone for LightPath as we broaden our product portfolio and expand our reach into high-growth defense markets. G5's high-ASP cooled infrared camera solutions complement our existing uncooled offerings, enabling us to deliver even greater value to a wider range of potential customers. "I would encourage our investors to tune into our previously announced virtual investor day presentation on Tuesday for an overview of the acquisition and our go-forward trajectory, and look forward to working closely with the G5 team in the quarters to come as we seek to drive sustainable, long-term value for my fellow shareholders."
