Re: GLOBALFOUNDRIES to Acquire IBM's Semiconductor Technology Business
I guess when you sell a line of business that's losing money, you end up selling for a negative price. Presumably they didn't just shutter it because they want continued access to the production line output without having to go compete with other manufacturers for foundry capacity.

What I don't understand is that IBM are paying $1.5 bn to GlobalFoundries... shouldn't it be the other way, or is my understanding of the laws of economics on shaky grounds? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-29689344 -Original Message- From: John McKown john.archie.mck...@gmail.com To: IBM-MAIN IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Sent: Mon, 20 Oct 2014 15:01 Subject: Fwd: GLOBALFOUNDRIES to Acquire IBM's Semiconductor Technology Business Thought people here might be interested in the post below from the z/VM forum. -- Forwarded message -- From: Gabe Goldberg g...@gabegold.com Date: Mon, Oct 20, 2014 at 8:53 AM Subject: GLOBALFOUNDRIES to Acquire IBM's Semiconductor Technology Business To: ib...@listserv.uark.edu IBM and GLOBALFOUNDRIES today announced that they have signed a Definitive Agreement under which GLOBALFOUNDRIES plans to acquire IBM's global commercial semiconductor technology business, including intellectual property, world-class technologists and technologies related to IBM Microelectronics, subject to completion of applicable regulatory reviews.

From: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-10-19/ibm-agrees-to-pay-globalfoundries-1 -5-billion-to-take-chip-unit.html International Business Machines Corp. (IBM) agreed to pay Globalfoundries Inc. $1.5 billion to take an unprofitable chip-manufacturing unit off its hands. IBM will pay Globalfoundries the cash over three years, the companies said in a statement today. Globalfoundries will be IBM's exclusive provider of specific Power processors for the next 10 years, in exchange for access to IBM's intellectual property. IBM will take a third-quarter pretax charge of $4.7 billion. -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU] On Behalf Of Aled Hughes Sent: Monday, October 20, 2014 10:26 AM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: [Bulk] Re: GLOBALFOUNDRIES to Acquire IBM's Semiconductor Technology Business What I don't understand is that IBM are paying $1.5 bn to GlobalFoundries... shouldn't it be the other way, or is my understanding of the laws of economics on shaky grounds? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-29689344 -Original Message- From: John McKown john.archie.mck...@gmail.com To: IBM-MAIN IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Sent: Mon, 20 Oct 2014 15:01 Subject: Fwd: GLOBALFOUNDRIES to Acquire IBM's Semiconductor Technology Business Thought people here might be interested in the post below from the z/VM forum. -- Forwarded message -- From: Gabe Goldberg g...@gabegold.com Date: Mon, Oct 20, 2014 at 8:53 AM Subject: GLOBALFOUNDRIES to Acquire IBM's Semiconductor Technology Business To: ib...@listserv.uark.edu IBM and GLOBALFOUNDRIES today announced that they have signed a Definitive Agreement under which GLOBALFOUNDRIES plans to acquire IBM's global commercial semiconductor technology business, including intellectual property, world-class technologists and technologies related to IBM Microelectronics, subject to completion of applicable regulatory reviews.
