兩邊簽了協議並且都發了新聞稿出來,分別是 Salesforce 的:「Salesforce Signs Definitive Agreement to Acquire Tableau」,以及 Tableau 的:「Salesforce Signs Definitive Agreement to Acquire Tableau」。
這兩家都是掛在 NYSE 的公司,而這次的併購會直接以股票交易 (Tableau 的 1 股換 Salesforce 的 1.103 股,看起來是基於這三天股價計算):
SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. and SEATTLE, Wash. — June 10, 2019 -- Salesforce (NYSE:CRM), the global leader in CRM, and Tableau Software (NYSE: DATA), the leading analytics platform, have entered into a definitive agreement under which Salesforce will acquire Tableau in an all-stock transaction, pursuant to which each share of Tableau Class A and Class B common stock will be exchanged for 1.103 shares of Salesforce common stock, representing an enterprise value of $15.7 billion (net of cash), based on the trailing 3-day volume weighted average price of Salesforce's shares as of June 7, 2019.
Salesforce 想要買 Tableau 是個蠻意外的新聞...
