BERLIN (Reuters) – GlobalWafers retracted an earlier statement in which the Taiwanese company said it would not make a new offer for Siltronic after a planned takeover fell through.
GlobalWafers would analyse the non-decision of the German government and consider its impact on the company’s future investment strategy, said a spokesperson, repeating an earlier statement by CEO Doris Hsu.
GlobalWafers’ planned 4.35 billion euro ($4.9 billion) takeover of the German chip supplier fell through late on Monday after Germany could not complete a review of the deal ahead of a end-January deadline.
