Tsinghua first offered $28.50 per ADS for the maker of wireless communications chips in late June. That sent Spreadtrum’s ADS to a 52-week high of $26.69, and the shares have traded at about that level ever since. The shares posted an all-time high of around $29 in November 2011.
Spreadtrum, which is based in China, is a developer of mobile chipsets for smartphones and other mobile devices. The company has supplier agreements with China Mobile Ltd. (NYSE: CHL), the world’s largest wireless company, European telecom giant Orange, and Facebook Inc. (NASDAQ: FB).
Tsinghua said there are no financing conditions to its offer. In its original offer in June Tsinghua said the all-cash offer may be financed by a combination of equity and debt. Today’s announcement does not indicate a closing date for the transaction.
Shares are trading at $30.18 in the premarket this morning, up 14%, and above the 52-week range of $14.50 to $26.69.
