NEWARK, NY – Creation Technologies’ cash tender offer deadline to purchase IEC Electronics has been extended to Oct. 4, the electronics manufacturing services companies jointly announced.

The tender offer was previously pushed back to Sept. 30.

As of the end of day on Sept. 30, 7.5 million shares of common stock of IEC, representing approximately 70.1% of the issued and outstanding IEC shares, were tendered pursuant to the tender offer.
