爆炸新闻：博通投资者对安华高收购说不，370亿美元也没戏！

网络业务供应商博通公司的投资者们发起集体诉讼，以阻止该公司被芯片制造商安华高以370亿美元收购。5月份两家公司宣布了此项收购交易，通过此次收购将诞生一家市值770亿美元的新公司，交易原定将于2016年3月完成。接受诉讼者委托的法律公司称博通公司在此次交易中没有考虑其股东的利益，有悖信托的忠诚义务，并称该公司在美国证券交易委员会的S-4表格中提供了"重大虚假的和误导性的登记记录"以确保股东接受收购要约。

Investors of networking biz Broadcom have launched a class action lawsuit to block a $37bn (£24bn) takeover by chip maker Avago.

In May the companies announced the mega merger, which will value the new entity at $77bn (£50bn). The deal is planned to close by the end of March 2016.

The law firm acting on the investors' behalf alleges some of Broadcom's defendants breached their fiduciary duties of loyalty and due care owed to Broadcom shareholders.

It claims they filed a "materially false and misleading registration statement" on Form S-4 with the US Securities and Exchange Commission in an attempt to secure shareholder approval of the takeover.

"The omitted and/or misrepresented information is believed to be material to Broadcom shareholders' ability to make an informed decision whether to approve the Proposed Transaction," said Weiss Law.

The complaint arises out of a 28 May 2015 press release announcing that Broadcom had entered into a definitive merger agreement with Avago Technologies Limited, "pursuant to which Broadcom shareholders will receive $54.50 in cash and 0.4378 of an Avago share".

The complaint seeks injunctive relief on behalf of the named plaintiffs and all other similarly situated shareholders of Broadcom as of 28 May, 2015.

The Register has contacted Avago for a comment.
