IBM breaks off Sun purchase talks
$7bn deal would have regained world top spot for IBM
Clive Akass,
Personal Computer World 06 Apr 2009
Shares of Sun Microsystems fell by nearly a quarter early today following
reports that IBM had broken off negotiations to buy the company.
Reuters reported "a source" as saying the move came after Sun rejected a
slightly reduced offer of $7bn (£4.9bn). Sun has been losing both money and
market share but the merger would have allowed IBM to reclaim its position as
the world's biggest computer company.
Also Sun has a lot of intellectual property including Java and its Solaris
flavour of Unix. It is unclear whether talks will resume.
