Broadcom CEO hock tan said that the offer is beneficial for shareholders of both companies. Broadcom wants to pay in cash and shares at a price of $ 70 apiece.
The proposal has been carefully designed. Shares of Broadcom rose by 60%, compared with the year 2016. While Qualcomm shares fell 16% from January 2017. Qualcomm 2017 embroiled in a legal battle with Apple and was fined 774 million dollars in Taiwan. The result of the 2017 financial year ended for the Qualcomm profits fall by 90%. As of November 3, 2017 market capitalization Broadcom is 112 billion dollars, and Qualcomm — 91 billion.
We would not make this offer if they were not sure that our common customers will approve the new combination.
