History
The company was founded on September 29, 2006 when Koninklijke Philips Electronics NV sold an 80.1% stake in its former semiconductor division to a consortium of private investors, which included Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. (KKR), Bain Capital , Silver Lake Partners, Apax and AlpInvest Partners NV Philips retained a 19.9% stake.
At the time the company was founded in 2006, it included 5 business units: Consumer Electronics , Automotive Electronics , Identification Systems , Mobile and Personal Devices, and General-Use Components (MultiMarket Semiconductors )
In March 2015, NXP Semiconductors announced a merger with Freescale Semiconductor . Combining NXP and Freescale into a single company will create the fourth largest producer of microprocessors and other complex microelectronics on the planet, with a total asset value reaching $ 40 billion [2] .
In 2016, Qualcomm tried to acquire NXP for $ 38 billion ($ 110 per share), wishing to receive at least 80% of the shares, but the transaction did not take place. In 2018, Qualcomm updated the offer by offering $ 44 billion ($ 127.50 per share), while requesting a minimum of 70% of NXP shares. This time, a group of shareholders who opposed in 2016 supported the proposal. For Qualcomm, this deal should help expand the market for its products, and can also protect the corporation from the acquisition of a competitor Broadcom [3] .
