2015-02-04 08:40:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) MaxLinear has signed an agreement to acquire Entropic Communications, a provider of semiconductor products for the connected home, for an estimated USD 287 million. The boards of directors of both companies have approved the deal. Entropic shareholders will receive USD 1.20 per share in cash and 0.2200 shares of MaxLinear shares for each Entropic share outstanding. Based on MaxLinear's closing stock price on 2 February, the deal is valued at USD 3.01 per Entropic share, with an implied enterprise value of USD 181 million, net of Entropic's cash balance as of end December. When the deal closes, shareholders of MaxLinear and Entropic will own 65 percent and 35 percent of the merged company. MaxLinear expects the deal to be non-GAAP earnings accretion in the first full quarter post-close. After the close, Entropic interim CEO Ted Tewksbury will join the MaxLinear board of directors. The company anticipates operating synergies of over USD 20 million in the first full calendar year post-close. Increased scale and projected cost savings are expected to lower combined non-GAAP operating expenses, generate significant operating margin expansion, and accelerate MaxLinear's timing to achieving its stated target operating model.
