Chipmaker Broadcom to buy software group VMware for $69bn

Takeover would help transform acquisitive semiconductor company into diversified tech business

VMware shareholders will be able to choose to receive either $142.50 in cash or 0.2520 shares of Broadcom stock for each of their shares in the software group, at a 33 per cent premium over the value of the company before talks emerged last week.
