近日，安捷利美维电子公司与美国加州印制电路板巨头迅达科技公司签署协议，前者将收购后者包括位于中国四家工厂在内的移动业务部，本次收购交易额约为40亿元人民币。天元律师事务所为买方提供了法律意见，美迈斯律师事务所则作为卖方代理律师参与了交易。

根据天元的一份新闻稿，迅达科技为全球排名前三的印制电路板制造商，此次收购标的包括迅达四家位于广州和上海的中国生产工厂，以及支持移动业务部的职能人员，共涉及约7500名员工。四家工厂所生产产品主要应用在个人智能设备和物联网模块。迅达在一份新闻稿中表示，由于较低的增长速度及较高的资本投入要求，公司一直在为相关业务寻找合适买家，安捷利美维作为移动设备市场领军者将继续支持这一业务板块的发展。

天元为此次交易组建了一支跨越北京及香港办公室的团队，项目牵头律师为合伙人华秀兰律师、张德仁律师、黄伟律师及刘宁律师。美迈斯团队牵头律师为其美国并购及私募业务主管Tobias Knapp。

Tian Yuan, OMM act on Sino-U.S. $550 mln PCB M&A deal

Tian Yuan Law Firm has advised AKMMeadville Electronics’ $550 million acquisition of California-based printed circuit board producer TTM Technologies’ mobility business unit, with O’Melveny & Myers advising the seller.

According to Tian Yuan’s press release, being one of the top three PCB producers globally, TTM would divest its four China manufacturing plants, namely in Guangzhou and Shanghai, comprising substantially all of the assets of its mobility business unit with approximately 7,500 supporting employees to the buyer. TTM stated in one press release that it had long been looking for buyers due to change of business strategy, and AKMMeadville would continue to lead the mobility business on the cellular market.

Tian Yuan has built a team across its Beijing and Hong Kong offices for the deal, with Hua Xiulan, Zhang Deren, Huang Wei and Liu Ning being the leading partners. The O’Melveny team was led by head of the firm’s US Mergers and Acquisitions and Private Equity practice Tobias Knapp.
