The share exchange ratio would be one MiTAC International share for 1.26 shares of Tyan Computer, Mitac International said in a filing to the Taiwan Stock Exchange yesterday.
MiTAC International owns around 35 percent of Tyan Computer, which specializes in the design and manufacture of system board products for both industrial servers and workstations. The two firms are both under parent company MiTAC Group (神通集團).
After the merger, MiTAC International will takeover all of Tyan Computer's operations, and Tyan Computer will no longer exist as a separate entity, the filing said. The planned acquisition is expected to be completed by September this year, it added.
MiTAC International, which yesterday reported NT$4.39 earnings per share for last year, said synergy benefits of the proposed merger would start to develop in the fourth quarter, the Chinese-language www.cnyes.com Web site reported yesterday, citing MiTAC International president Billy Ho (何繼武) at a press briefing.
The Tyan acquisition is the second deal that MiTAC Group affiliates have announced in the past 10 days as it consolidates its businesses and resources to increase competitiveness.

CHIP RACE: Three years of overbroad export controls drove foreign competitors to pursue their own AI chips, and ‘cost US taxpayers billions of dollars,’ Nvidia said China has figured out the US strategy for allowing it to buy Nvidia Corp’s H200s and is rejecting the artificial intelligence (AI) chip in favor of domestically developed semiconductors, White House AI adviser David Sacks said, citing news reports. US President Donald Trump on Monday said that he would allow shipments of Nvidia’s H200 chips to China, part of an administration effort backed by Sacks to challenge Chinese tech champions such as Huawei Technologies Co (華為) by bringing US competition to their home market. On Friday, Sacks signaled that he was uncertain about whether that approach would work. “They’re rejecting our chips,” Sacks
Taiwan’s long-term economic competitiveness will hinge not only on national champions like Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC, 台積電) but also on the widespread adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) and other emerging technologies, a US-based scholar has said. At a lecture in Taipei on Tuesday, Jeffrey Ding, assistant professor of political science at the George Washington University and author of "Technology and the Rise of Great Powers," argued that historical experience shows that general-purpose technologies (GPTs) — such as electricity, computers and now AI — shape long-term economic advantages through their diffusion across the broader economy. "What really matters is not who pioneers
In a high-security Shenzhen laboratory, Chinese scientists have built what Washington has spent years trying to prevent: a prototype of a machine capable of producing the cutting-edge semiconductor chips that power artificial intelligence (AI), smartphones and weapons central to Western military dominance, Reuters has learned. Completed early this year and undergoing testing, the prototype fills nearly an entire factory floor. It was built by a team of former engineers from Dutch semiconductor giant ASML who reverse-engineered the company’s extreme ultraviolet lithography (EUV) machines, according to two people with knowledge of the project. EUV machines sit at the heart of a technological Cold
