Microsemi Offers $2.2 Billion for PMC-Sierra, Looking to Best Skyworks Deal
Two weeks after PMC-Sierra Inc. struck a deal to be acquired by Skyworks SolutionsInc., Microsemi Corp. swooped in with its own offer Monday, a cash-and-stock deal valued at about $2.2 billion.
California-based Microsemi said that its proposal would amount to $11.50 per PMC share, and is superior to the Skyworks offer of $10.50 a share in cash for semiconductor and software-solutions developer PMC.

Skyworks Solutions to Buy PMC-Sierra for $2 Billion in Cash (Oct. 6)
In early trading, shares of PMC jumped 14% to $11.69, while shares of Microsemi declined by 2.9% to $36.28. Skyworks shares were down by about 0.4% to $79.26.
Under the terms of Microsemi’s proposal, PMC shareholders will receive $8.75 in cash and 0.0736 of a share of Microsemi stock for each share of PMC held.
The boards of both Skyworks and PMC have approved Skyworks’ deal, which was expected to close in the first half of 2016.
Skyworks said the acquisition is aimed at boosting the company’s products geared to handling a growing class of computing chores known by the phrase Big Data. Following the deal, Skyworks said it expects annual revenue of more than $4 billion with operating margins exceeding 40%.
The Woburn, Mass.-based Skyworks, which generates a big chunk of its revenue from China, has been battered lately as concerns over growth in China have intensified.

Google Rebuffs European Union on Antitrust Charges
Google Inc. on Thursday rebuffed the European Union’s demand that it change the way it ranks online comparison-shopping services in its search results, setting up a potentially drawn-out legal battle between the search giant and a regulator empowered to levy billions of euros in fines.
In a formal response Thursday to antitrust charges the EU filed this spring against the California company, Google argued the bloc’s antitrust regulators erred in their analysis of the fast-changing online-shopping business, misconstrued Google’s impact on rival shopping-comparison services, and failed to provide sufficient legal justification for its demands.

Apple Earnings Boosted by iPhone Sales
The company said Tuesday that it sold 47.5 million iPhones in the three months ended June 27, an increase of about 35% from a year earlier and more than double the tally from four years ago. The strong sales come in a traditionally weaker quarter for iPhones as consumers hold off on purchasing new models until the fall when Apple typically introduces them.
Apple continues to show it can defy the sales-growth slowdown in the smartphone industry, riding a wave of momentum from its last iPhones released last September. The iPhone 6 and 6 Plus with larger displays has sparked a considerable upgrade from existing iPhone customers, while attracting defectors from smar

Taylor Swift Is Now Making “1989″ Available on Apple Music
Taylor Swift has reversed her Apple stance.
The pop singer wrote on Twitter Thursday morning that her best-selling album “1989” will be available on the tech giant’s forthcoming streaming service, Apple Music. Apple Inc. confirmed the news. A representative for Swift’s label, Big Machine, didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
Swift made headlines over the weekend after posting an open letter to her Tumblr, criticizing the service because she said artists would receive no money during a an initial three-month free trial period for new users. “We don’t ask you for free iPhones,” she wrote. “Please don’t ask us to provide you with our music for no compensation.” In the letter she said she wouldn’t put “1989” on Apple Music; the album, which has been out for about nine months, hasn’t been available on competing streaming services such as Spotify AB or Google Play All Access.
The letter prompted Apple to reverse course, and pledge to pay artists when their songs were streamed during the free-trial period. Swift’s letter was applauded by the industry.
Many independent labels had held off from licensing Apple Music partly because they wanted royalties during the free trial period. Shortly after Apple’s reversal on the issue, several thousand independent labels struck deals with Apple.
The American Association of Independent Music, a trade group, said on Wednesday: “We thank Apple Music for hearing our concerns.”
As of mid-day on Thursday, Apple still hadn’t told the major record labels what it proposed paying them for their music during the free trial. But people close to those companies described the issue as largely symbolic, since Apple is likely to offer a relatively low rate during the temporary free trial, but is offering higher rates than competitors once users start paying $10 monthly subscription fees.
Swift is currently touring arenas this summer in support of “1989,” which has sold nearly 5 million copies in the U.S., according to Nielsen Music. Apple Music is set to launch on June 30.
