14:05 Approved the transaction on the absorption of mcafee corporation intel | |
| Yet this summer - more precisely, in August, it became known that Intel wants to buy anti-virus company McAfee. The transaction value is quite high - $ 7.68 billion. Antimonopolschiki U.S. immediately drew attention to this deal, and began to check its validity, as happens in such cases. By the way, this deal is the largest in the history of Intel. Corporation has agreed to buy MacAfee to expand its influence in the rapidly growing market segment of network security applications. Today it became known that the Fair Trade Commission has approved the transaction, so it will be completed shortly. However, there is another problem - the European Antimonopolschiki, but often the Europeans waiting for the decision of American colleagues, and then make a similar decision. Analysts believe that the special problems in treating the transaction by the European legislator should not be so very soon MacAfee actually pass under the top of Intel. Naturally, after the completion of the transaction immediately Intel will integrate infrastructure MacAfee in their own structure. It seems not to be held and a couple of months, as we hear about any new product in a new Intel line of business. It is also worth noting that Intel does not always have warm relations with the antitrust authorities the U.S. or Europe. Last year, for example, the corporation was fined $ 1.45 billion for the actions which violated EU antitrust laws. Now Intel representatives did not comment on the situation, responding that dealing with the EU continues. Via CNET | |
