Filing language.
Direct excerpts from acquisition disclosures and strategy sections: the verbs the buyer chose, in the filings they signed.
“Our growth strategy is based, in part, on our ability to acquire businesses and assets that are complementary to our existing operations.”
“In May 2018, GRE acquired Smile Energy G.K., a Japanese company licensed to provide electricity to end-use costumers in Japan.”
“In the fourth quarter of 2018, we revised our reportable segments in connection with the acquisition of Prism”
“There are dozens of registered REPs in Finland and Sweden, including those operated by energy producers, affiliates of local grid companies and independent contractors. In recent years, the REP industry has experienced consolidation resulting in larger REPs. Most of the traditional REPs are either wholly-owned by the local municipality or the local municipality has an ownership interest in the REP. These REPs are generally defensive businesses that do not attract customers outside their local geographical area.”
“We may also seek to acquire other businesses.”
