Chinese companies have yet to sate their appetites for foreign cuisine. Nor are their tastes limited to the haute. Yesterday came news that Lexmark, the US maker of printers and business software, will sell itself to a consortium of Chinese companies. The buyers, including Shenzhen listed Apex Technology and a venture capital arm of Hong Kong listed Legend Holdings, will pay $3.6bn in cash, a 17 per cent premium to the previous close.
中國企業(yè)對異鄉(xiāng)美食的胃口尚未滿足,他們的品味也不僅限于豪華大餐。昨日傳出消息稱,美國打印機和商業(yè)軟件廠商利盟(Lexmark)將被一個由中國企業(yè)組成的財團買下。買家包括深圳上市的艾派克科技(Apex Technology),以及香港上市的聯(lián)想控股(Legend Holdings)旗下的風險投資部門,他們將支付36億美元現(xiàn)金,相對于前一日的收盤價有17%的溢價。
