TAIPEI — Ennoconn Corp., an industrial PC subsidiary of Taiwan-based Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., has agreed to acquire a stake in an Austrian information system integration solutions provider.
In the acquisition, Ennoconn will spend about 153 million euros or NT$5.35 billion (US$168 million) to take a 29.4 percent stake in S&T AG, which is currently listed on the Prime Standard segment of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange.
After the deal is completed, Ennoconn is expected to become S&T’s largest shareholder.
As S&T plans to use the proceeds from the deal with Ennoconn to acquire a 29 percent stake in German-based embedded computing brand Kontron AG, the Taiwanese suitor has said it will be investing in the German firm indirectly.
According to Ennoconn, S&T’s applications can be seen in a wide range of industries, including medical services, telecommunications, big data, production automation, smart electricity grids and energy development. [SOURCE]
