elkhartjim Report post Posted September 19, 2019 Since Newmar is a privately held corporation, the SEC involvement will be minimal compared to if Newmar was a publicly traded company. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
manholt Report post Posted September 19, 2019 Private until now, part of the deal is shares of WB...$44 million worth! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elkhartjim Report post Posted September 19, 2019 Correct, they are private until the deal closes. After close, their financials will be included with the Winny SEC disclosures. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
manholt Report post Posted September 20, 2019 After listening to some friends & giving it some serious thought, this might be the perfect time to buy a Newmar! The last of a original Newmar...I was caught by surprise at the low value of Newmar Corp! WB who's worth 2 billion, will do things to change the Newmar brand, enough to justify a $344 million buy out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elkhartjim Report post Posted September 20, 2019 Carl, there has been much conversation regarding the Newmar values of the pre-Winnebago Industries takeover. The consensus has been that it may well make our units more valuable because the demand will be greater. If you look, there aren't many Newmars on the the resale market and when a good condition used unit hits the market it is usually sold within days...if its priced right of course. Newmar has consistently held their resale value much better than other brands. Personally, I think once the paranoia subsides this will benefit the end users of both Newmar and Winnebago coaches. Time will tell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
