Seagate gab bekannt, dass man mittels eines exklusiven Übereinkommens die Kontrolle über LaCie übernehmen werde. Der Festplatten-Riese offerierte Philippe Spruch, LaCie's Chairmain und CEO, sowie auch seinen Partnern, all ihre Anteilsscheine zu erwerben.

Durch diesen Schritt würde Seagate mit 64.5 Prozent an LaCie beteiligt. Sollten die Französischen Behörden der Übernahme zustimmen, dann würde dies unter andrem bedeuten, dass LaCie als Unternehmen 186 Millionen US-Dollar an Wert hätte.

Quote:
Seagate has offered Mr. Spruch and his affiliate €4.05 per share in cash, minus a potential adjustment depending on the cash and debt position of LaCie at closing. This price may be increased by a possible price supplement of 3% in the event that the threshold of 95% of the shares and voting rights of LaCie would be reached by Seagate within 6 months following closing, resulting in a maximum potential price per LaCie share of €4.17. Without the price supplement, the offer currently values LaCie at an approximate €146 million, or $186 million total equity value, including acquired net cash of approximately €49 million, or $65 million, as of March 31, 2012. The €4.05 per share price represents a premium of 29% to LaCie’s average closing stock price over the 30 trading days ended May 22, 2012.
