Skyworks Solutions, Inc. (SWKS) recently
announced that it has amended its previously announced merger
agreement with Advanced Analogic Technologies,
Inc. (AATI).
Advanced Analogic Technologies Inc. (AATI) provides advanced
power management semiconductor solutions which support automotive,
broadband, cellular infrastructure, energy management, industrial,
medical, military and mobile handset applications.
The merger was announced in May 2011. On May 26, 2011, Skyworks
announced that it will acquire Advanced Analogic Technologies at a
price of $6.13 per share. The total offer price consists of $3.68
per share in cash and .08725 of a share of Skyworks common stock
for each outstanding share of Advanced Analogic Technologies’
common stock.
Under the amended agreement, Skyworks will acquire all of the
outstanding shares of Analogic Technologies for $5.80 per share in
cash through a tender offer that Skyworks intends to commence
within seven business days.
Both the companies expect the transaction to be completed in
January 2012. Skyworks expects the transaction to be accretive to
its bottom-line in fiscal 2012 and will provide detailed
information on the same during the first quarter earnings call in
January 2012. The company will finance the acquisition with cash on
hand.
This acquisition expands Skyworks’ product portfolio with highly
complementary analog semiconductor products including battery
chargers, DC/DC converters, voltage regulators and LED
drivers. Skyworks aims to expand its smart phone, tablet and
set-top box market with this merger and also expects to improve
infrastructure facilities apart from expanding its vertical
markets.
We have a Neutral recommendation on Skyworks Solutions. However,
Skyworks has a Zacks #4 Rank, which implies a Sell rating in the
short-run.
