About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

MetLife Recommends Shareholders Reject “Mini-Tender” Offer by Potemkin Limited

By: via Business Wire

MetLife, Inc. (NYSE: MET) today announced that it has received notice of an unsolicited mini-tender offer by Potemkin Limited (“Potemkin”) to purchase up to 10,000 shares of MetLife, Inc. common stock from MetLife shareholders. The offer is for approximately 0.00002 percent of MetLife’s shares of common stock outstanding as of August 31, 2025. Potemkin’s offer price of $53.00 per share is approximately 34.42 percent lower than the $80.82 closing price of MetLife common stock on September 12, 2025.

MetLife does not endorse Potemkin’s unsolicited mini-tender offer and recommends that shareholders do not tender their shares in response to Potemkin’s offer because the offer is at a price that is significantly below the current market value of MetLife’s common stock.

MetLife is not associated in any way with Potemkin, its mini-tender offer, or its mini-tender offer documents. Potemkin’s offer is generally not subject to the information filing requirements of the Securities Exchange Act and Potemkin is not generally required to file reports, proxy statements and other information with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) relating to its business, financial condition and otherwise.

Potemkin has made similar mini-tender offers for shares of other companies. Mini-tender offers, such as this one, seek to acquire less than five percent of a company’s shares outstanding, thereby avoiding many disclosure and procedural requirements of the SEC. As a result, mini-tender offers do not provide investors with the same level of protections as provided by larger tender offers under U.S. securities laws.

The SEC has cautioned investors that some bidders making mini-tender offers at below-market prices are “hoping that they will catch investors off guard if the investors do not compare the offer price to the current market price.” The SEC’s cautionary advice to investors on mini-tender offers is available at https://www.sec.gov/investor/pubs/minitend.htm.

MetLife urges investors to obtain current market quotations for their shares, consult with their broker or financial advisor, and exercise caution with respect to Potemkin’s offer.

MetLife urges shareholders who have not responded to Potemkin’s offer to take no action. Shareholders who have already tendered their shares may withdraw them in the manner described in the Potemkin mini-tender offer documents, prior to the expiration of the offer, currently scheduled for Tuesday, October 7, 2025, 5 p.m. Eastern time.

MetLife encourages shareholders to review carefully the “Withdrawal Rights” section of the offer documents. MetLife encourages brokers and dealers, as well as other market participants, to review the SEC’s letter regarding broker-dealer mini-tender offer dissemination and disclosure at www.sec.gov/divisions/marketreg/minitenders/sia072401.htm and NASD’s Notice to Members 99-53, issued July 1999, regarding guidance to members forwarding mini-tender offers to their customers, which can be found at http://www.finra.org/sites/default/files/NoticeDocument/p004221.pdf.

MetLife requests that a copy of this news release be included with all distributions of materials relating to Potemkin’s mini-tender offer related to shares of MetLife, Inc. common stock.
