Avaya reprend Nortel Enterprise Solutions
Bruxelles, le 14 septembre 2009 - Avaya annonce qu’après la réussite du processus d’offre, l’entreprise a fait le premier pas lui permettant d’acquérir Nortel Enterprise Solutions pour un montant de 900 millions USD. Une fois de plus, 15 millions USD seront réservés à un programme visant à conserver les employés actuels.
L’annonce suit la conclusion d’un processus d’offre. La finalisation de la transaction dépend dorénavant de l’approbation de la justice et d’organismes de surveillance canadiens et américains.
« La réussite de notre offre nous rapproche de la reprise effective de Nortel par Avaya, et notamment de son canal, de son portefeuille de produits, de son centre de R&D et de sa présence dans le monde entier », déclare Kevin Kennedy, le président et CEO d’Avaya. « Nous sommes persuadés que cette reprise va apporter une valeur ajoutée aux clients, employés et partenaires des deux entreprises, et nous prévoyons une issue positive à celle-ci. »
