The Microsoft company is buying about $450 million USD worth of IP from Novell while Attachmate Corp is buying up the rest of Novell where combined between the two Novell is being sold for a total price of $2.2 billion USD. Attachmate is a software company owned by three private equity firms: Francisco Partners, Golden Gate Capital, and Thoma Bravo.
Novell has announced that it has agreed to a merger proposition from the Attachmate Corporation, an investment group led by Francisco Partners, Golden Gate Capital and Thoma Bravo, for $2.2 billion (£1.25 billion). The company also confirmed that it will also be selling certain, as yet undisclosed, IP assets to CPTN Holdings LLC, a consortium organised by the Microsoft Corporation for $450 million (£282 million) in cash.
I sta sad ? Dakle Attachmate kupuje Novell i deo intelektualne svojine prodaje MSFT-u. Pitam se koje ? I koliko je njih Linux related :(
