Hello moto!
In a move that will instigate its full fledged entry into the telecommunications hardware business, the global search giant Google is set to buy Motorola Mobility for a staggering $12.5 billion. If approved, this will be Google’s most expensive acquisition ever. The deal will boost Google’s mobile OS – Android. Since its launch in 2007, Android has been installed in 150 million devices. Further, more than 550,000 devices join the Android ecosystem daily through a wide network of 39 manufacturers and 231 carriers spread over 123 countries. It’s an all cash deal where in Google will be paying $40 a share – a 63% premium. The deal will put Google in the competition zone with Apple, Nokia and Research in Motion, resulting in significant competitive advantage. The deal is supposed to close by end of this year or early 2012 subject to regulatory approvals in the US and EU. Even after the deal, the Android platform will remain open source as Google plans to operate Motorola Mobility as a separate business entity. The mobile major currently holds around 17,000 patents and the deal will enable Google to better protect Android from anti-competitive attacks from Microsoft, Apple, and other companies. The development will create phenomenal synergies that would enhance the Android ecosystem.
AIG sues BofA
American International Group (AIG) has filed a $10.5 billion lawsuit against Bank Of America (BofA) over the sale of residential mortgage backed securities that are allegedly marred by fraud, misrepresentation and omission. The claim, which is one of the largest to raise its head in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis, blames BofA and its subsidiaries to have issued defective mortgages to borrowers who were not in position to repay, packaged them into supposedly low risk securities and sold $28 billion worth to AIG using offering documents that misrepresented the quality of the loans. Despite the huge losses incurred from the collapse of the mortgage market, very few claims have been filed over the past three years. Last year, Goldman Sachs paid $550 million to settle allegations from Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for its alleged fraud in marketing of mortgage backed securities called Abacus, which the company did not admit doing.
