Overview

 

The LGL Group, Inc. is a holding company engaged in services, merchant investment, and manufacturing business activities. The Company was incorporated in 1928 under the laws of the State of Indiana and reincorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware in 2007. Unless the context indicates otherwise, the terms "LGL," "LGL Group," "we," "us," "our," or the "Company" mean The LGL Group, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.

 

The Company’s manufacturing business is operated through its subsidiary Precise Time and Frequency, LLC ("PTF"), which has operations in Wakefield, Massachusetts. PTF is engaged in the design of high-performance Frequency and Time Reference Standards that form the basis for timing and synchronization in various applications.

 

The Company's merchant investment business is operated through its subsidiary Lynch Capital International, LLC ("Lynch Capital"), which utilizes various structures and vehicles to build shareholder value, including certain special purpose vehicles, which may be syndicated for investment, and involve certain fee generating activities. The Company could act as the financial and management sponsor, raise capital from external nonaffiliated investors, and may receive management fees and success-based incentives in accordance with market practice.

 

Skyline Transaction

During the second quarter of 2026, Lynch Capital initiated a syndicated transaction to raise up to $3.0 million for an investment into a convertible promissory note (the "Skyline Note") issued by Skyline Instruments Corporation ("Skyline"), a dual-use commercial and defense technology company developing precision timing and synchronized sensing infrastructure for environments where GPS is fragile, contested or unavailable.

 

Of the $2,000 of syndicated capital raised in June 2026 (the "First Closing"), Lynch Capital contributed $850. The capital was invested in Skyline Instruments May 2026, a Series of CGF2021 LLC ("Skyline SPV"). Skyline SPV then invested $1,968 into the Skyline Note (net of formation and administrative expenses). Lynch Capital serves as the investment advisor to Skyline SPV pursuant to an investment advisory agreement. As of June 30, 2026, Lynch Capital holds a 42.5% equity interest in Skyline SPV.

 

In connection with the Skyline Transaction, Skyline SPV entered into a side letter with Skyline granting Skyline SPV a board designation right, participation rights in future financings, and approval rights over certain extraordinary events. Pursuant to the board designation rights, the Company's Chief Executive Officer was elected to the board of directors of Skyline.

 

In July 2026, Skyline SPV received an additional $505 equity investment from a new third party investor. Skyline SPV then invested $494 in the Skyline Note (net of administrative expenses) (the "Second Closing"). Following the Second Closing, Lynch Capital's equity interest in Skyline SPV decreased to 33.9%.
