据知情人士透露，半导体公司思瑞浦上月曾向赛普拉斯提出未经请求的收购要约，意图搅局此前已宣布的与安森美半导体的交易。
Semiconductor company Cirrus Logic Inc. made an unsolicited acquisition offer for Synaptics Inc. last month as it looked to spoil a previously announced deal with On Semiconductor Corp., according to people familiar with the matter.
知情人士称，思瑞浦是赛普拉斯周四更新的代理声明中提到的“A方”，这些人因事涉私密而不愿具名。他们补充说，目前不清楚思瑞浦是否仍有意与赛普拉斯达成交易。
By Liana Baker and Yiqin Shen Semiconductor company Cirrus Logic Inc. made an unsolicited acquisition offer for Synaptics Inc. last month as it looked to spoil a previously announced deal with On Semiconductor Corp. according to people familiar with the matter.
思瑞浦以现金加股票的方式提出竞购，促使安森美上周修订了与赛普拉斯的协议条款。安森美将交易结构从全股票支付改为全现金支付，并将价格调整为每股123美元。据安森美声明称，此举是在收到第三方“未经请求的竞争性提议”后作出的，声明未披露竞购者身份。
Cirrus Logic is the “Party A” cited in an updated Synaptics proxy filing from Thursday, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the matter is private. It’s unclear if the company is still interested in a deal with Synaptics, they added. Cirrus Logic’s bid, made in cash and stock, led Onsemi to revise the terms of its agreement with Synaptics last week. Onsemi changed the structure to all cash instead of all stock and tweaked the value to $123 per share.
总部位于奥斯汀的思瑞浦和总部位于亚利桑那州斯科茨代尔的安森美代表均拒绝置评。总部位于加州圣何塞的赛普拉斯代表未立即回应置评请求。
Onsemi had made the change after an “unsolicited competing proposal” from a third party, according to a statement, which didn’t identify the suitor. Representatives for Austin-based Cirrus Logic and Scottsdale, Arizona-based Onsemi declined to comment.
代理声明显示，赛普拉斯董事会曾认真考虑思瑞浦的出价，并与该公司进行了谈判，但最终认为安森美修订后的报价最符合股东利益。
A representative for San Jose, California-based Synaptics didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. The proxy filing showed that Synaptics’ board seriously considered Cirrus Logic’s bid and held negotiations with the company before ultimately deciding that a revised offer from Onsemi was in the best interest of shareholders.
安森美于6月首次宣布与赛普拉斯达成交易，旨在拓展智能设备半导体业务。
Onsemi first announced its deal with Synaptics in June, aiming to expand into semiconductors for smart devices.
