Avago completes acquisition of LSI

Avago Technologies Limited and LSI Corporation today announced Avago has completed its acquisition of LSI Corporation for $11.15 per share in an all-cash transaction valued at approximately $6.6 billion. The acquisition creates a highly diversified semiconductor market leader with approximately $5 billion in projected annual revenues.

The acquisition also expands Avago’s product offerings and brings system-level expertise in its wired infrastructure market. With increased scale and a diversified product portfolio across multiple, attractive end markets, the combined company is strongly positioned to capitalize on the growing opportunities created by the rapid growth in data center IP and mobile data traffic.

In additional to the anticipated strategic benefits of the acquisition, Avago continues to anticipate achieving annual cost savings at a run rate of $200 million by the end of the fiscal year ending November 1, 2015, the first full fiscal year after closing. Avago’s management will discuss business outlook and provide guidance for the combined company during its second quarter earnings conference call on Thursday, May 29, 2014. Avago will include LSI Corporation’s contribution to financial performance in the company’s third quarter earnings announcement.

In connection with the closing of the acquisition, LSI’s common stock will cease to be publicly traded on the NASDAQ Stock Market after the close of market today.

Avago Technologies Limited is a designer, developer and global supplier of a broad range of analog semiconductor devices with a focus on III-V based products.
