Nokia Corp.’s mobile phone operation has officially been transferred to Microsoft Corp. The transaction’s official closure，announced in a news release on Friday，puts an end to a long drawn process which started almost eight months ago，when Microsoft and Nokia first announced the 5.44 billion Euros($7.52 billion)deal.
諾基亞公司25日宣布已正式將旗下移動(dòng)電話(huà)業(yè)務(wù)移交至微軟集團，為雙方歷時(shí)近8個(gè)月、最初宣布總額為54.4億歐元(75.2億美元)的收購案畫(huà)上了句號。(《華爾街日報》)
In its release，Nokia said there had been some purchase price adjustments relating to net working capital and cash earnings，which mean that it expects the total transaction price to be slightly higher than the earlier-announced price tag of 5.44 billion Euros.
諾基亞在新聞稿中聲明，雙方基于營(yíng)運資本凈額和現金收益對收購價(jià)格做出了一些調整，這意味著(zhù)交易總額預計將略高于此前宣布的54.4億歐元。(《華爾街日報》)
Two Nokia plants will remain outside the deal-a manufacturing unit in Chennai，India，subject to an asset freeze by Indian tax authorities，and the Masan plant in South Korea，which it plans to shut down.
兩家諾基亞工廠(chǎng)未包括在此收購案中：一家在印度金奈市，該工廠(chǎng)目前遭到印度稅務(wù)機關(guān)凍結資產(chǎn)；另一家在韓國馬山市，諾基亞已計劃關(guān)閉該廠(chǎng)。(英國廣播公司)
For Microsoft，the takeover of Nokia‘s phone business is a bold move to improve its odds in the mobile-phone business.
對微軟來(lái)說(shuō)，收購諾基亞手機業(yè)務(wù)是提高其在移動(dòng)電話(huà)領(lǐng)域發(fā)展勝算的一個(gè)大膽舉動(dòng)。(《華爾街日報》)
Microsoft will not be using the Microsoft Mobile brand name. In the deal，Nokia is retaining its brand name for itself.
微軟將不采用“微軟移動(dòng)”的品牌名稱(chēng)。在此次收購中，諾基亞仍將保留自身品牌名稱(chēng)。(《福布斯》)
除移動(dòng)手機業(yè)務(wù)以外，微軟還將接手諾基亞包括智能設備業(yè)務(wù)、設計團隊在內的設備與服務(wù)部門(mén)，以及Nokia.com這家網(wǎng)站與相關(guān)社交媒體。伴隨著(zhù)軟件與硬件的深度整合，微軟將進(jìn)一步加強并提升Windows設備的市場(chǎng)需求。
For Nokia，meanwhile，unloading the unprofitable handset business leaves it with a mobile network arm that competes with the likes of Huawei Technologies Co. and Ericsson. It will also hold on to a digital mapping platform，one of the mobile industry’s largest portfolios of patents and a large pile of cash.
對諾基亞而言，擺脫沒(méi)有利潤的手機業(yè)務(wù)將使其專(zhuān)注于移動(dòng)網(wǎng)絡(luò )領(lǐng)域，與華為科技和愛(ài)立信等對手展開(kāi)競爭。諾基亞還將重點(diǎn)發(fā)展一項數字地圖平臺，開(kāi)展移動(dòng)產(chǎn)業(yè)最大的技術(shù)專(zhuān)利授權服務(wù)之一，還將獲得一大筆現金。(《華爾街日報》)
通過(guò)此次交易，諾基亞將獲利32億歐元，約合42.2億美元。該交易完成后，諾基亞仍將擁有三大主要業(yè)務(wù)，即提供網(wǎng)絡(luò )基礎設施的“NSN”，提供定位服務(wù)的“HERE”，以及專(zhuān)注于技術(shù)授權與開(kāi)發(fā)的“先進(jìn)技術(shù)”。
