ARLX007 Motorola buys Yaesu
Motorola USA has announced its intention to launch a tender offer to
acquire a controlling interest in Vertex Standard Co, Ltd. Vertex Standard
is the parent company of Yaesu.
Motorola will own 80 percent of Vertex Standard; Tokogiken, a privately
held Japanese company, controlled by current president and CEO of Vertex
Standard Jun Hasegawa, will retain 20 percent, forming a joint venture.
The total purchase price for 80 percent of the outstanding shares on a
fully diluted basis will be approximately US $108 million.
End quote.
