Microsoft to acquire Nokia's Devices & Services business, license Nokia's patents and mapping services
Nokia Corporation
Stock Exchange Release
September 3, 2013 at 06.00 (CET +1)
REDMOND, Washington and ESPOO, Finland - Microsoft Corporation and Nokia Corporation today announced that the Boards of Directors for both companies have decided to enter into a transaction whereby Microsoft will purchase substantially all of Nokia's Devices & Services business, license Nokia's patents, and license and use Nokia's mapping services.
Under the terms of the agreement, Microsoft will pay EUR 3.79 billion to purchase substantially all of Nokia's Devices & Services business, and EUR 1.65 billion to license Nokia's patents, for a total transaction price of EUR 5.44 billion in cash. （ 微软将以37.9亿欧元收购诺基亚商业部门，外加16.5亿欧元收购诺基亚的专利，总计54.4亿欧元的现金。）Microsoft will draw upon its overseas cash resources to fund the transaction. The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2014, subject to approval by Nokia's shareholders, regulatory approvals and other closing conditions.
Building on the partnership with Nokia announced in February 2011 and the increasing success of Nokia's Lumia smartphones, Microsoft aims to accelerate the growth of its share and profit in mobile devices through faster innovation, increased synergies, and unified branding and marketing. For Nokia, this transaction is expected to be significantly accretive to earnings, strengthen its financial position, and provide a solid basis for future investment in its continuing businesses.
"It's a bold step into the future - a win-win for employees, shareholders and consumers of both companies. Bringing these great teams together will accelerate Microsoft's share and profits in phones, and strengthen the overall opportunities for both Microsoft and our partners across our entire family of devices and services," said Steve Ballmer, Microsoft chief executive officer. "In addition to their innovation and strength in phones at all price points, Nokia brings proven capability and talent in critical areas such as hardware design and engineering, supply chain and manufacturing management, and hardware sales, marketing and distribution."
"We are excited and honored to be bringing Nokia's incredible people, technologies and assets into our Microsoft family. Given our long partnership with Nokia and the many key Nokia leaders that are joining Microsoft, we anticipate a smooth transition and great execution," Ballmer said. "With ongoing share growth and the synergies across marketing, branding and advertising, we expect this acquisition to be accretive to our adjusted earnings per share starting in FY15, and we see significant long-term revenue and profit opportunities for our shareholders."
"For Nokia, this is an important moment of reinvention and from a position of financial strength, we can build our next chapter," said Risto Siilasmaa, Chairman of the Nokia Board of Directors and, following today's announcement, Nokia Interim CEO. "After a thorough assessment of how to maximize shareholder value, including consideration of a variety of alternatives, we believe this transaction is the best path forward for Nokia and its shareholders. Additionally, the deal offers future opportunities for many Nokia employees as part of a company with the strategy, financial resources and determination to succeed in the mobile space."
"Building on our successful partnership, we can now bring together the best of Microsoft's software engineering with the best of Nokia's product engineering, award-winning design, and global sales, marketing and manufacturing," said Stephen Elop, who following today's announcement is stepping aside as Nokia President and CEO to become Nokia Executive Vice President of Devices & Services. "With this combination of talented people, we have the opportunity to accelerate the current momentum and cutting-edge innovation of both our smart devices and mobile phone products."
Nokia has outlined its expected focus upon the closing of the transaction in a separate press release published today.
TERMS OF THE AGREEMENT
Under the terms of the agreement, Microsoft will acquire substantially all of Nokia's Devices and Services business, including the Mobile Phones and Smart Devices business units as well as an industry-leading design team, operations including all Nokia Devices & Services-related production facilities, Devices & Services-related sales and marketing activities, and related support functions. At closing, approximately 32,000 people are expected to transfer to Microsoft, including 4,700 people in Finland and 18,300 employees directly involved in manufacturing, assembly and packaging of products worldwide. The operations that are planned to be transferred to Microsoft generated an estimated EUR 14.9 billion, or almost 50 percent of Nokia's net sales for the full year 2012.
Microsoft is acquiring Nokia's Smart Devices business unit, including the Lumia brand and products. Lumia handsets have won numerous awards and have grown in sales in each of the last three quarters, with sales reaching 7.4 million units in the second quarter of 2013.
As part of the transaction, Nokia is assigning to Microsoft its long-term patent licensing agreement with Qualcomm, as well as other licensing agreements.
Microsoft is also acquiring Nokia's Mobile Phones business unit, which serves hundreds of millions of customers worldwide, and had sales of 53.7 million units in the second quarter of 2013. Microsoft will acquire the Asha brand and will license the Nokia brand for use with current Nokia mobile phone products. Nokia will continue to own and manage the Nokia brand. This element provides Microsoft with the opportunity to extend its service offerings to a far wider group around the world while allowing Nokia's mobile phones to serve as an on-ramp to Windows Phone.
Nokia will retain its patent portfolio and will grant Microsoft a 10-year non-exclusive license to its patents at the time of the closing. Microsoft will grant Nokia reciprocal rights to use Microsoft patents in its HERE services. In addition, Nokia will grant Microsoft an option to extend this mutual patent agreement in perpetuity.
In addition, Microsoft will become a strategic licensee of the HERE platform, and will separately pay Nokia for a four-year license.
Microsoft will also immediately make available to Nokia EUR 1.5 billion of financing in the form of three EUR 500 million tranches of convertible notes that Microsoft would fund from overseas resources. If Nokia decides to draw down on this financing option, Nokia would pay back these notes to Microsoft from the proceeds of the deal upon closing. The financing is not conditional on the transaction closing.
Microsoft also announced that it has selected Finland as the home for a new data center that will serve Microsoft consumers in Europe. The company said it would invest more than a quarter-billion dollars in capital and operation of the new data center over the next few years, with the potential for further expansion over time.
NOKIA LEADERSHIP CHANGES
Nokia expects that Stephen Elop, Jo Harlow, Juha Putkiranta, Timo Toikkanen, and Chris Weber would transfer to Microsoft at the anticipated closing of the transaction. Nokia has outlined these changes in more detail in a separate release issued today.

消息有点儿乱，这个要核实下微软与Nokia战略合作：间谍、潜伏、无间道
Nokia与微软合作细节终于公布，很明显微软赚翻了，作为手机行业曾经目前也是销量第一的巨头，面对Apple、Google的崛起，Nokia此次与微软合作彻底将自己扔到悬崖的半山腰，一步一步向下滑成为必然的趋势。说微软是胜利者从合作细节便可见一斑，诺基亚将采用Windows Phone作为其主要的智能手机战略（微软将做了多年不见起色的垃圾Phone 7卖给了手机老大）；必应将支持诺基亚设备和服务上的搜索服务（Nokia利用苟延残喘的实力推广了微软的核心业务Bing）；诺基亚地图将成为微软地图服务的核心部分（Nokia的地图补充了Bing的缺憾）；诺基亚的内容和应用商店将会和微软的Marketplace整合（Nokia虽然推不起来却挺强大的商店增强了MarketPlace），微软用自己的非核心业务换来Nokia核心对自己的支持，Nokia则将自己的未来赌在了微软做了十几年都没有做成功的Windows Phone上，显然资本市场看到了这一点，最新得到的消息Nokia股价今天开盘大跌11%。
经过此次与微软合作，Nokia成为在智能手机OS领域最富有的公司，一个老开源的Symbian、一个新开源的Meego，一个新加盟的Phone 7，如果此次与微软合作失败，估计Phone 7也会被Nokia和微软变成一个开源项目，就看三个臭皮匠能否战胜Android了，据传与Nokia合作是微软一度的梦想，曾经在Meego之前微软便曾登门希望合作，可惜那是的Nokia对微软根本不屑一顾，宁愿自己与Intel一起去开创一个新市场Meego，可惜Intel和微软一样是移动互联网时代的落伍者。
诺基亚宣布与微软达成战略合作，不出意外，因为作为业界老大Nokia要顾及自己的脸面，用Google Android去与二流厂商甚至中国山寨竞争老大的身份何存？微软与Nokia达成战略合作伙伴关系，按照Nokia CEO的说法这叫达成取胜的生态系统，理论上讲没错，Apple取胜绝对不仅仅因为iPhone，而是包括商业模式在内的产品生态，不过即使Apple有的Winkia也都有了估计也没用。
综合所有线索得出的结论：诺基亚CEO埃洛普是微软比尔 盖茨派到Nokia的间谍，绝对是一场无间道、潜伏的重演。（老杳）
斯蒂芬·埃洛普的无间道，微软的长远大计
2010年9月21日诺基亚任命斯蒂芬·埃洛普(Stephen Elop),是诺基亚145年历史中首位非芬兰籍CEO。埃洛普目前是微软商业部门总裁。然后我们看看从斯蒂芬·埃洛普加盟诺基亚以后，诺基亚都干了些什么。
2011年2月11日下午，诺基亚正式宣布与微软达成全球战略合作伙伴关系，微软全新推出的Windows Phone系统将会成为诺基亚的主要手机操作系统，并专注与此系统。
2011年4月20日，诺基亚正式宣布放弃开发Meego，诺基亚推出目前唯一一台也是最后一台Meego手机——诺基亚 N9。
10月26日，诺基亚世界大会(Nokia World 2011)上发布了与微软合作的首批Windows Phone手机，名为Nokia Lumia，代表着诺基亚未来智能手机发展的方向。
2011年第四季度的Windows Phone手机出货量在250万台左右，这其中就包含了120万台左右的诺基亚手机，该季度诺基亚亏损10.7亿欧元
2012年第一季度，诺基亚亏损14亿美元

截至北京时间11点35分,诺基亚当前股价3.9美元,市值146.1亿美元,微软的收购金额不足诺基亚市值的一半。分析人士认为,这并不令人奇怪,因为微软只是收购了诺基亚的手机业务,在线地图和网络设备业务仍归诺基亚所有。 诺基亚CEO埃洛普是微软比尔 盖茨派到Nokia的间谍，绝对是一场无间道、潜伏的重演。回复 #11 xc2z888 的帖子

三星 htc啥都要被赶走了微软此举很好
转：微软究竟为什么要决定收购诺基亚呢？在分析这个问题之前，我们有必要先看看微软在全球范围内的排名状况。根据2013年全球IT公司市场排行榜我们看到，微软的市值排名第四位，排在苹果、谷歌、三星之后。而分析前三者的生存状况，都是具备很强的软硬件整合能力，而这正是微软目前所欠缺的。我们不能否认微软CEO鲍尔默任职时所取得的成绩，但有一点可以肯定，他在移动领域的反应速度有些过慢。
此前根据美国市场研究公司AdDuplex今年8月份公布的数据来看，诺基亚控制了超过85%的Windows Phone 8手机市场，已经基本上垄断了整个Windows Phone市场，所以微软收购最大的合作伙伴也是正确的取舍。而可以预见的是，微软在收购诺基亚之后会投入更多的精力来提升Windows Phone设备在智能手机中的市场份额，这是否也预示着一个沉睡的巨人终将觉醒呢？
收购诺基亚将会是微软的一次新机遇，让它真正稳住目前全球智能手机第三大操作系统的位置，成为继iOS、Android之后的第三种选择。由于收购中也包括了诺基亚公司的硬件、软件团队成员，所以这也势必可以给微软重新规划操作系统的机会，根据诺基亚对于产品的理解，制定更好、更完善的功能。

微软并购内幕：垂涎诺基亚地图资产 但遭断然拒绝“新诺基亚”将形成两条腿走路，一条是移动通信设备，另外一条是网络地图服务（Here品牌）。在微软收购诺基亚手机业务的交易曝光之后，不少分析人士认为，诺基亚地图并未在交易范围内，是因为诺基亚地图亏损、不值钱，被微软放弃。但是，最近《纽约时报》、AllThingsD等媒体披露的谈判细节显示，微软希望获得诺基亚地图，但是遭到诺基亚拒绝。
显而易见的是，如果诺基亚地图也被转让给微软，诺基亚将沦为一个完全依靠移动通信设备存活的“光杆司令”，其发展几乎没有前景可言。
据《纽约时报》等媒体报道，微软和诺基亚高层在收购谈判中，一开始并不顺利，其中的分歧点包括诺基亚手机业务的收购价格，以及微软是否可以获得诺基亚地图的控制权。《华尔街日报》也曾报道，微软和诺基亚的收购谈判，因为价格分歧较大而流产。
据报道，在谈判初期遭遇不顺之后，诺基亚给微软开出了一系列先决条件，如果同意则可以继续谈判。这些先决条件包括微软抽调资源，对诺基亚提供融资帮助，另外一个重要的先决条件是诺基亚继续持有地图业务，微软不得进行收购。
随后，微软和诺基亚在地图业务上达成了妥协，即诺基亚地图向微软提供技术授权，微软可以访问诺基亚地图底层，并获得充分的个性化二次开发空间，可以开发网民需要的地图产品。微软首先提出这一建议，随后获得了诺基亚高层的支持。
在Ovi互联网内容销售战略完全失败之后，Here地图几乎成为诺基亚互联网服务的唯一拳头产品。2008年，在手机市场仍然占据主导优势的诺基亚，斥资81亿美元，收购了美国地图公司Navteq，从而成为在线地图的主导力量。
在移动互联和社交网络时代，地图业务成为各种位置服务的基础设施，从而引起各大巨头的关注。之前，谷歌地图一枝独秀，而急于摆脱对谷歌依赖的苹果也研发了苹果地图，但是由于没有技术积淀而遭遇一片差评。谷歌和苹果的地图之争，也让整个地图和位置服务行业收益。
目前，微软、雅虎等公司的地图服务，底层数据由诺基亚地图提供。诺基亚地图也是可以和谷歌地图叫板的少数厂商之一。
不过令人惋惜的是，虽然拥有优秀的技术和数据资源，但是诺基亚地图业务的表现，却堪称平庸。地图业务陷入亏损，而最近几个季度，亏损额也有所缩小。
虽然拥有地图底层资源，但是和谷歌、苹果相比，诺基亚面对终端用户的地图和位置服务，相对缺乏，这也影响了地图业务的营收。
在微软收购之前，诺基亚曾经对地图业务进行重组，增强其独立性，希望能够向WP、安卓、iOS等多个操作系统的用户提供地图服务。而有业内人士认为，地图重组的背后，是微软只希望获得自己想要的手机硬件业务，并不想收购亏损的地图业务，因此CEO艾洛普正是按照微软的“意愿”实施重组。
在变卖手机业务之后，地图和位置服务将成为诺基亚唯一的互联网服务，不过在地图行业的激烈竞争中（苹果和谷歌都已经加快了地图新功能的推出），诺基亚地图是否能够站稳一席之地、在线地图是否形成三分天下还是谷歌一家垄断，仍有待观察。 搞得NOKIA半死不活，自己好来奸尸:bs( :bs( :bs( :bs( 曾经的行业霸主啊，今天被别人收购了！
