Dell shareholders approved Thursday a proposal led by company founder Michael Dell to take the iconic computer company private as it attempts to navigate a fast-changing technology market.
戴爾公司股東近日投票通過(guò)了由創(chuàng)始人邁克爾·戴爾提交的一份將公司私有化的方案,以期適應(yīng)科技市場(chǎng)日新月異的變化。(法新社)
戴爾公司在位于美國(guó)德克薩斯州圓石城的總部舉行本次股東大會(huì)。邁克爾·戴爾的方案獲得批準(zhǔn),宣告了創(chuàng)始人聯(lián)合銀湖集團(tuán)與大股東之間為期7個(gè)月的鏖戰(zhàn)終于結(jié)束,以億萬(wàn)富翁伊坎為代表的一方承認(rèn)失敗。
Under the terms of the transaction,Dell shareholders will receive $13.75 in cash for each share of Dell common stock,plus a special cash dividend of 13 cents per share. The total transaction is valued at about $24.9 billion.
根據(jù)交易協(xié)議,戴爾股東持有的普通股將以13.75美元每股的價(jià)格變現(xiàn),每股還將額外得到13美分的分紅。全部交易將達(dá)到249億美元。(法新社)
據(jù)悉,這家目前排名全球第三的PC制造商私有化退市,是自2007年百仕通集團(tuán)推動(dòng)希爾頓全球酒店集團(tuán)私有化以來(lái)規(guī)模最大的一次杠桿收購(gòu)案(LBO)。
Michael Dell said the buyout marks the first step in a multi-year transformation that will involve Dell Inc. going back to its roots and focusing on the “entrepreneurial spirit” that the company was originally built on.
邁克爾·戴爾稱,本次私有化收購(gòu)標(biāo)志著未來(lái)數(shù)年大轉(zhuǎn)型邁出第一步,將把戴爾公司帶回自己的核心,并重塑公司初創(chuàng)時(shí)期形成的“企業(yè)精神”。(路透)
邁克爾·戴爾在聲明中稱,他本人對(duì)這項(xiàng)結(jié)果感到滿意,并決心把戴爾打造成業(yè)界領(lǐng)先的、可延展端對(duì)端技術(shù)解決方案的供應(yīng)商。
Like other PC makers,Dell Inc. has been hit hard in recent years as consumers shift their buying habits away from traditional desktops and laptops and toward tablets and other mobile devices. Last month,Dell reported a 72 percent drop in profit for its most recent quarter,as the company cut prices to shore up computer sales. Dell‘s stock has plunged by more than 40 percent since Michael Dell returned for a second stint as CEO in 2007.
像其他個(gè)人電腦制造商一樣,因最近幾年消費(fèi)者的購(gòu)買意愿由傳統(tǒng)的臺(tái)式電腦和筆記本電腦,轉(zhuǎn)移到平板電腦和其他移動(dòng)設(shè)備上,戴爾公司深受其害。上個(gè)月,戴爾稱,由于公司削減售價(jià)以提升銷售業(yè)績(jī),最近一個(gè)季度其利潤(rùn)下降了72%。自從邁克爾·戴爾2007年再次出任首席執(zhí)行官后,戴爾公司股價(jià)下挫超過(guò)40%。(美聯(lián)社)
標(biāo)準(zhǔn)普爾評(píng)級(jí)服務(wù)公司日前發(fā)布報(bào)告稱,將戴爾公司的信用評(píng)級(jí)從“BBB”下調(diào)至“BB-”,這意味著戴爾公司的信用評(píng)級(jí)從投資級(jí)滑落至垃圾級(jí)。
