VISN · CommScope Holding Company, Inc.

On April 30, 2026, Vistance Networks, Inc. (the entity formerly known as CommScope Holding Company, Inc.) announced a definitive agreement to sell its RUCKUS Networks business to Belden Inc. for $1.846 billion in cash. The transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2026, subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals. Net proceeds after taxes and transaction expenses are estimated at approximately $1.7 billion. The company plans to distribute a significant portion of the excess cash to shareholders as a special distribution within 60 days following closing, with the exact amount and timing to be determined by the Board. CEO Chuck Treadway stated that the transaction unlocks equity value, returns cash to shareholders, and allows the company to focus on its Aurora Networks business. Moelis & Company LLC served as financial advisor, and Alston & Bird LLP as legal advisor. This divestiture represents a strategic shift for Vistance Networks, concentrating on its core Aurora Networks segment.
