[原创]最新消息-西门子并购UGS

很多朋友一大早就来问询,这是怎么一回事,说实话,真的不敢相信。

知之为知之,真的不知道。不过我倒是去看了一下,千真万确:

NEW YORK/BOSTON, Jan 24 (Reuters) - German conglomerate Siemens AG (SIEGn.DE: QuoteProfile , Research) said on Wednesday it has agreed to buy industrial design software maker UGS Corp. for $3.5 billion and that it will sell shares in automotive engineering unit VDO.

Siemens said it planned an initial public offering of VDO, which had annual sales of 10 billion euros ($13 billion) in the last fiscal year.

Siemens said it would hold a majority stake in VDO, but a spokesman declined further comment on the size of the stake.

An IPO would give that business additional financial resources and flexibility for future growth, Siemens said.

The company said the purchase of UGS would add industrial software for planning, design and simulation to the automation-technology portfolio of its factory-automation unit, A&D.

Plano, Texas-based UGS is owned by three private equity firms -- Bain Capital, Silver Lake Partners and Warburg Pincus, which bought UGS from technology services provider Electronic Data Systems in March 2004 for $2.05 billion.
