Pandatel ist in der selben Branche wie Cyras tätig, übrigens könnte bei Übernahme das 5fache wert sein. Vergleicht mal den Amifirmen Umsatz/Marktkap....... hier könnte immer noch was laufen. Ciena expands Net reach with Cyras buy Moving deeper into one of the hottest networking markets, optical equipment maker Ciena on Tuesday said it has agreed to buy privately held Cyras Systems in a stock deal valued at about $2.6 billion. Ciena said Cyras` family of products will help extend its reach from the core of service provider networks to metropolitan access and other large customer networks. Metropolitan area networks, which service large cities, are expected to be a huge opportunity for network equipment providers because they need to be upgraded to handle the continuing deluge of Internet traffic. Using fiber optics, companies such as Ciena and Sycamore Networks can rapidly expand the capacity of these connections in large cities. Under terms of the agreement, Ciena said it plans to acquire all outstanding shares of Cyras in exchange for 27 million shares of Ciena common stock. Linthicum, Md.-based Ciena will also assume $150 million of Cyras outstanding convertible debt. Based on Ciena`s closing price Monday of $96 per share, the proposed deal is worth approximately $2.6 billion. Ciena said it plans to account for the transaction as a purchase and expects the deal to add to earnings during the second half of its fiscal year 2002 period. The deal is expected to dilute the company`s fiscal 2001 earnings by 19 cents to 22 cents per share on a pro forma basis, excluding charges related to the Cyras buy. After completion of the transaction, Cyras, based in Fremont, Calif., said it intends to form a new Ciena division focusing on multiservice access and switching products. All Cyras employees will become Ciena employees. Cyras chief executive officer Alnoor Shivji will report to Ciena chief operations officer Gary Smith. Sales efforts of both companies will be combined. |
