Broadcom Completes Acquisition of CA

Broadcom Inc. has completed its acquisition of CA Technologies.

CA’s common stock will now cease to be traded on the NASDAQ and CA will operate as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Broadcom.

“Today, we are pleased to complete this transaction, which strengthens Broadcom’s position as a leading provider of semiconductor and infrastructure software solutions and enables us to better serve our customers,” said Hock Tan, president and CEO, Broadcom. “Broadcom has a track record of successfully integrating and growing the businesses we acquire. We believe this transaction will enable us to offer customers a leading portfolio of best-in-class solutions across a diverse set of technologies. We intend to invest in and grow the CA business to further enhance its capabilities in mission-critical infrastructure software solutions.”
