AMS’s failed bid for Osram leaves the Munich-based group looking friendless and saddled with a blocking stake that might deter private equity. Yet Bain and Advent could afford to offer more without destroying their returns, says edwardcropley:

Austrian sensor specialist AMS failed in its 4.5 billion euro takeover attempt of Osram Licht but said on Oct. 4 it would continue its pursuit of the German lighting group.

AMS had raised its initial 38.50 euros per share offer to 41 euros to ward off a potential rival bid from Advent International and Bain Capital, but only managed to secure 51.6% support from Osram shareholders, below the required 62.5% threshold. Osram shares fell 4% to 39.20 euros by 0723 GMT on Oct. 7. AMS shares rose more than 3% in early trade before going into reverse. They were down 1.5% at 44 Swiss francs by 0737 GMT.

Nice watch bytheway. ゴルバチョフとブッシュの冷戦終結から30年。実は何も終結していなかった。赤はリベラルへと衣装だけを変え、ウクライナ、トルコ、韓国といった境界国は東西の綱引きで切り崩されつつある。後世、グローバリゼーションは西側への侵略だったと表現される時代が来るのだろう。 Pres Trump is right. The EU does a brisk trade with Russia. The stupid USA $ foots NATO and $80 million in military aid to Ukraine. USA sanctions Russia vs EU trade and now wants peace with Russia.
