o Diodes to Acquire Milpitas-Based Pericom Semiconductor
Milpitas, Calif. -- Diodes, a Texas-based maker of semiconductor products, said on Thursday it will pay approximately $400 million to acquire Milpitas-based Pericom Semiconductor, a developer of connectivity and timing chips. Under the deal, expected to close by year's end, Diodes will pay $17 a share in cash. The company said the acquisition will bolster its analog footprint and add a strong mixed-signal connectivity offering. For Pericom, the move is an effort to grow its market. "Diodes' size and scale provides an excellent platform for our products to gain access to a broader customer base and drive a higher level of growth than Pericom would be able to achieve as a standalone company," said Alex Hui, the president and CEO of Pericom.

o AOL to Acquire Millennial Media for $250 Million
New York -- Following weeks of speculation, AOL confirmed on Wednesday that it will pay about $250 million to acquire Millennial Media, the operator of an independent mobile ad marketplace. Reports first surfaced in July that AOL, itself fresh off a $4.4 billion acquisition by Verizon Communications, had begun talks with the company in a bid to bolster its mobile ad capabilities. Under the deal, expected to close this fall, AOL will pay $1.75 a share in cash. "As we continue to invest in our platforms and technology, the acquisition of Millennial Media accelerates our competitive mobile offering in ONE by AOL and enhances our current publisher offering with an 'all in' monetization platform for app developers," said Bob Lord, the president of AOL. Millennial, which went public in 2012 and ranked No. 82 in last year's Deloitte Technology Fast 500, will become a unit of AOL. The company 11 years ago also acquired another Baltimore-based ad technology firm, Advertising.com, for $435 million.
