Temasek Considers Offer for Chartered Stake

SINGAPORE -- Singapore state investment company Temasek Holdings Pte. Ltd. is considering an offer for its entire stake in Chartered Semiconductor Manufacturing Ltd. for about 2.35 billion Singapore dollars (US$1.62 billion), two people familiar with the situation said.

The offer by Advanced Technology Investment Co., a technology investment firm owned by the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, values Chartered Semiconductor at around S$2.50 per share.

Temasek controls 62.33% of Chartered, according to an April 16 filing with the Singapore Exchange.

"Temasek is considering the offer, but there have been offers before and a deal was not reached. This time the premium looks attractive," one of the people said.

Chartered, in a filing Friday with the Singapore Exchange, said it hasn't received such a bid from ATIC.

Zasto je ovo bitno? Pa ti isti Arapi drze i AMD-ove fabove. Sad se nezna dali ce oni posle eventualne kupovine Chartered-a, da njegove fabove pridodaju onim AMD-ovim, i tako povecaju Global Foundries, sto ce povecati i AMD-ov proizvodni kapacitet... ili ce mozda napraviti drugu Foundry kompaniju, nad kojom AMD nece imati nikakvu kontrolu.

Za one koji neznaju, Chartered je proizvodjac cipova, slicno kao TSMC ili UMC. Ne dizajniraju, samo proizvode za fabless kompanjije.
