The SnapTrack deal was announced in January 2000 and closed on March 2, 2000. Message 13028229 The deal was done for $1B in Qualcomm stock. Does anyone know what the precise price was that was used in the acquisition. The price when the deal was announced? When in closed? Within some collar of the price when the deal was announced? Whatever the precise number, cool that QCOM used its early 2000 share price to do the acquisition. It is like buying something for almost 2/3 off.

<<Of course those applications will be first designed for cdma1x & 2000 handsets <gggg> >> This cannot be underestimated. One of the key points allowing Sun servers to become dominant as Web hosts is because software companies ported their new and enhanced releases to Solaris first. App developers fell over themselves to get Sun equipment for their projects, despite a significant premium. Coots

Snaptrack Cost 7,433,792 Shares To get to $1B, share price must have been around $134 in the closing of the SnapTrack deal. At the current shareprice, SnapTrack cost around $436M. (Last night, these shares would be valued at $377M.) Note how the SnapTrack went into "Falcon Acquisition Corporation." Thanks to the person that PM'd me this info. --snip ITEM 2. ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS. On March 1, 2000, QUALCOMM Incorporated, a Delaware corporation ("QUALCOMM"), completed the acquisition of all of the outstanding capital stock of SnapTrack, Inc., a California corporation ("SnapTrack"). The acquisition was effected pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the "Merger Agreement"), dated January 25, 2000 by and among QUALCOMM, Falcon Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of QUALCOMM ("Merger Sub"), and SnapTrack, whereby Merger Sub was merged with and into SnapTrack (the "Merger"), with SnapTrack being the surviving corporation in the Merger and a wholly owned subsidiary of QUALCOMM. In addition, QUALCOMM assumed all of the outstanding options and warrants to purchase capital stock of SnapTrack in connection with the Merger and such options and warrants are now exercisable for shares of QUALCOMM common stock. The Merger is intended to qualify as a tax-free reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and will be accounted for as a "purchase." For a detailed description of the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, reference is made to such agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference. As a result of the Merger, QUALCOMM is obligated to issue up to 7,433,792 shares of its common stock to the securityholders of SnapTrack; provided however, that 10% of the total shares will be subject to an escrow for a period of one year (which one-year period could be extended in the event any claims are made) to satisfy the indemnification obligations of the SnapTrack securityholders that run in favor of QUALCOMM and its affiliates. Certain stockholders of SnapTrack who are entitled to receive an aggregate of 1,949,509 shares of QUALCOMM common stock in the Merger have executed lock-up agreements that impose certain limitations on such stockholders' ability to sell or otherwise transfer such shares. For a detailed description of the terms and conditions of the lock-up agreements, reference is made to such agreements, which are filed as Exhibits 2.2 through 2.5 hereto and incorporated herein by reference. ---snip freeedgar.com.
