英國《金融時報》報導,消息人士透露,歐盟將在下週批准手機芯片大廠高通(Qualcomm)以470億美元併購恩智浦半導體(NXP)的交易,這一筆2016年以來全球半導體業最重要的併購案,即將步入完成階段,增加高通抵抗博通(Broadcom)敵意併購的籌碼。
歐盟執委會去年6月曾對這筆交易感到擔憂,認為高通和恩智浦合併後會傷害競爭,因此展開調查。歐盟認為,合併後的兩家公司將排除競爭對手,增加專利使用費,並擔心兩家公司將把高通的基頻芯片與恩智浦的近場通信芯片(NFC)以安全因素捆綁出售,用於無線支付系統上。
高通表示,恩智浦可提供互補性資產,尤其是用於物聯網的NFC和芯片。為取得歐盟反壟斷監管機構的批准,高通在專利授權、智財權和系統零組件方面都做出保證,讓歐盟逐步解除心防。
歐盟放行高通併購恩智浦,將增加高通抵抗博通敵意併購的籌碼。博通去年11月向高通提出以每股70美元、總價1300億美元(含負債)的收購邀約,但遭高通以出價太低拒絕。博通後來更提出一份董事名單,要高通投資人在今年3月的股東大會進行表決,以取代高通現有的管理階層,正式展開敵意併購。
不過,高通併購恩智浦後,由於兩家公司都有WiFi芯片業務,博通想併購高通所面臨的反壟斷審查將變更嚴格,也使得博通想併購高通將更困難。 (新聞來源:自由時報)
