Qualcomm Agrees to Buy Chip Firm Alphawave for $2.4 Billion
(Bloomberg) -- Qualcomm Inc. has agreed to buy London-listed semiconductor company Alphawave IP Group Plc for about $2.4 billion in cash to expand its technology for artificial intelligence. Next Stop: Rancho Cucamonga! Where Public Transit Systems Are Bouncing Back Around the World Trump Said He Fired the National Portrait Gallery Director. She's Still There. ICE Moves to DNA-Test Families Targeted for Deportation with New Contract US Housing Agency Vulnerable to Fraud After DOGE Cuts, Documents Warn The offer equates to about 183 pence per share for Alphawave, the companies said in a statement on Monday. That's a 96% premium to the company's share price on March 31, the last trading day before Alphawave and Qualcomm disclosed the talks. The deal, which is still subject to regulatory and shareholder approval, is expected to close in the first quarter of 2026. Qualcomm Chief Executive Officer Cristiano Amon is looking to lessen the company's reliance on the smartphone market, where growth has slowed, and push into new areas. Alphawave makes high-speed semiconductor and connectivity technology that can be used for data centers and AI applications, two growth areas in the chip industry that are being driven by demand for products like OpenAI's ChatGPT. Alphawave's board has unanimously recommended the cash offer. Investors representing 75% of shares must vote in favor of the deal for it to go through. Alphawave shareholders and directors representing about 50% of shares have agreed to vote in favor of the deal, the company said. Alphawave shares rose 23% to 183.60 pence at 8:53 a.m. in London. The shares have risen about 117% this year. Alphawave, which held an initial public offering in 2021 at 410 pence per share, has consistently traded below that level. The company had struggled with a reliance on large customers and navigating geopolitical tensions between the US and China, where Alphawave decided to cut back its business last year. Still, the company's technology has been gaining traction and had reported a surge in orders in the fourth quarter. Chief Executive Officer Tony Pialis said in a statement at the time that orders from North American AI customers were driving the business. As an alternative to the cash offer, Alphawave shareholders can also opt to exchange their stock for 0.01662 shares of Qualcomm. Qualcomm has also said that each Alphawave share could be exchanged for 0.00964 of a new 'series A Qualcomm exchangeable security' and 0.00698 of a new 'series B Qualcomm exchangeable security.' The Alphawave directors declined to recommend the alternative offers. In particular, they said they're unable to declare whether the second alternative deal, where shareholders trade stock for exchangeable securities, is fair and reasonable 'given the significant and variable impact of the advantages and disadvantages.'

Evri's DHL deal to create one of the UK's largest delivery firms
Evri is set to merge its e-commerce operations with rival DHL in a move that will reshape the UK's parcel delivery landscape and create one of the UK's largest delivery firms. The deal will see the creation of one of the country's largest delivery entities, handling a combined total of more than one billion parcels and one billion letters annually. As part of the agreement, German-owned DHL Group will acquire a "significant minority stake" in Evri, with US private equity firm Apollo, which acquired Evri last year for £2.7 billion, remaining the majority shareholder. The merged operations will function under the Evri Group banner, uniting a workforce of more than 30,000 couriers and van drivers, alongside an additional 12,000 employees. This merger marks a significant development in the UK's competitive delivery market, bringing together two major players to create a formidable force in parcel and letter delivery. They said the merger will offer 'greater choice and cost-competitive solutions' to businesses and consumers, and expand import and export capabilities. The deal will also see Evri entering the UK business letter market for the first time, bolstering its competition to Royal Mail. Martijn de Lange, chief executive of Evri, said: 'We are excited that DHL ecommerce UK will merge with Evri to bring together two highly complementary UK businesses, committed to innovation and offering customers and clients the best possible service. 'By combining Evri's scale, innovation and DHL ecommerce's best-in-class premium van network, we are creating the pre-eminent parcel delivery group in the UK.' Pablo Ciano, chief executive of DHL ecommerce, said: 'DHL ecommerce and Evri both stand for top service quality, reliability and sustainability, which makes this partnership a great fit for our customers. 'Together, we'll be able to offer more efficient, far-reaching and innovative solutions to keep up with the fast-paced e-commerce market.'
