    Quite telling messaging that Arm would seek to list in the US and not in the UK. Why? US markets pay higher multiples for technology companies. https://twitter.com/...

    I talked with @Arm's new CEO @renehaas237 a few hours ago on the big announcements. My analysis: https://www.forbes.com/...

    NVIDIA and SoftBank today announced the termination of the previously announced transaction whereby NVIDIA would acquire Arm from SoftBank. SoftBank will retain the $1.25B prepaid by NVIDIA, and NVIDIA will retain its 20-year Arm license. https://www.businesswire.com/ ...

    Nvidia's Arm acquisition was supposed to be the biggest chip deal in history. Whether Arm gets a new parent company, or goes public in the next 12 months, SoftBank won't get anywhere near the $40 billion (Nvidia's original offer) to $75 billion (Nvidia's stock appreciated) range.…

    At the heart of these concerns was the fear that Arm - often seen as the “Switzerland” of the semiconductor world - would no longer remain neutral, giving Nvidia an unfair advantage in the market. Nvidia has long denied this would be the case.

    Nvidia's deal to acquire Arm has been officially called off. Arm's CEO Simon Segars has resigned and replaced by Rene Haas, Arm's IP group president. Arm plans for an IPO within the next 12 months. https://techcrunch.com/...

    SoftBank gets $1.25 billion for not selling Arm to Nvidia https://twitter.com/...

    I guess they weren't ARMed and ready https://twitter.com/...

    And the window gets wider for @risc_v. This will be one of open source's greatest victories. https://twitter.com/...

    NVIDIA has abandoned its proposed deal with Arm, while our in-depth investigation was ongoing. We therefore intend to cancel our investigation into the merger. https://twitter.com/...

    SoftBank gets $1.25 billion breakup fee and will now try to spin-off in an IPO before March 2023 https://www.axios.com/...
  • @tomwarren Tom Warren on x
    it looks like Nvidia's $40 billion acquisition of Arm is well and truly over. UK, EU, and US regulators have raised serious concerns over competition, and @FT reports the deal has collapsed https://www.theverge.com/... https://twitter.com/...
  • @fredericl Frederic Lardinois on x
    Nvidia declines to comment on the FT report that the Arm deal is off. I still expect will hear more sooner than later. https://www.ft.com/...

    Also on @Arm $Arm, @simonsegars steps down as CEO, with @renehaas237 promoted from President of Arm's IP Product Group (IPG) to take the CEO role. Rene Haas joined Arm in 2013, after 7 years at NVIDIA, but has led IPG for the last five years.

    This makes Intel's investment in RISC-V ecosystem today even more interesting. https://twitter.com/...
