TOKYO -- SoftBank is moving to acquire fourth-ranked American wireless carrier T-Mobile US, a deal that would allow it to match up evenly with the two big American players if approved by U.S. regulators.

    The Japanese telecommunications giant intends to buy a majority of the shares in T-Mobile through U.S. subsidiary Sprint as early as next spring in a transaction estimated at more than 2 trillion yen ($19 billion). It is in the final stages of talks with T-Mobile's German parent, Deutsche Telekom, sources close to the matter said.

    Purchasing T-Mobile would boost the SoftBank group's revenue from mobile operations to 7 trillion yen a year, making it the world's No. 2 carrier, behind China Mobile.

    SoftBank had initially envisioned a stock swap. But it is believed to have added a tender offer and other transactions to the list of options, since Deutsche Telekom prefers a cash deal. It intends to borrow the funds for the acquisition and has begun discussing fund procurement with U.S. financial institutions and others.

    SoftBank bought third-ranked U.S. carrier Sprint for roughly 1.8 trillion yen in July, putting it in a tie for No. 4 in the world along with such firms as the U.K.'s Vodafone. But Sprint has only about 55 million U.S. subscribers -- a far cry from the roughly 110 million each of Verizon Wireless and AT&T. SoftBank aims to compete better with the two giants in the U.S. and gain a foothold for global expansion through the large acquisition.

    T-Mobile generates about 2.6 trillion yen in annual revenue. If the deal goes through, the company will likely be integrated with Sprint, giving birth to a carrier with some 100 million subscribers. SoftBank will control the new entity by holding a 60-70% stake.

    The SoftBank group's total subscribers in Japan and the U.S. combined would grow to about 140 million from 100 million through the acquisition. The increase in mobile phone sales would give the group more leverage in negotiating prices with handset manufacturers, leading to lower procurement costs.

    The deal needs approval by the U.S. Federal Communications Commission and Department of Justice. The FCC was believed to have opposed an industry shakeup that would reduce the number of big players from four to three. But SoftBank apparently grew emboldened by the Justice Department giving the green light last month to a merger of major U.S. airlines after having initially objected.

der Rückschlag am 24. dürfte mit dem Schließen der Bücher der Großanleger über die Feiertage zu tun haben (Gewinnmitnahme ist willkommen). Aber hier noch etwas zum Grübeln:
-Starbucks hat 25Mio. in ein Start-up-Unternehmen (Squareup.com) investiert, welches eine ähnliche Technik wie OTI WAVE, aber sichtlich primitiver, verwendet, da die Kreditkarte eingeführt werden muss. Dieses Start-up hat bei Investoren 2,6 Mrd. eingesammelt (wie wird dann OTI ab Januar als ein US-Issuer Unternehmen bewertet werden)?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mdFknmul9wY

Many NFC-based payments systems, including Google Wallet and Isis, rely primarily on phones that have a built-in NFC chip or can be equipped with a special SIM card or a sleeve. OTI's approach instead resembles that of Square, by making the payments hardware a small plug-in that can be added or removed at the user's convenience.

The new funding—part of a bigger financing round that Square declined to detail—values the San Francisco company at $3.25 billion, according to people briefed on the matter. That is double the valuation of around $1.6 billion that Square snagged about a year ago from its private Investors

Wo wird unser Oti mit bedeutend besserer Technik wohl demnächst stehen?
bleibt dran!

übrigens:
- mit jetzt mehr als 100Mio. Mk können nun auch grössere Fonds einsteigen
- als US- Issuer werden ab Januar hoffentlich auch mehr US-Großinvestoren einsteigen
- mit der erfolgreichen Kapitalerhöhung von Supercom (3,45Mio. Aktien) sind die roten   Zahlen von OTIV wohl nun dank des neuen Managements endgültig vobei
-der Aktienrückkauf des Unternehmens und die Käufe des Boards am Markt sagen alles weitere
-keine Bange vor geringeren Umsatzerlösen: Oti hat seit jeher Umsatztreiber gekauft und mit demZiel von höheren Margen wieder verkauft (Intercard (außer SE), MCT, Inlay´s...
schöne Träume

HERZLIYA, Israel, Dec. 26, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- SuperCom Ltd (SPCB), a leading provider of Electronic Intelligence solutions for National ID, Public Safety and HealthCare, today announced that it has completed the acquisition of the Smart ID division from On Track Innovations (OTIV).

jetzt hat OTI wieder genug Cash in der Täsch. Werden sie als global agierendes Unternehmen auch brauchen. Ich denke niemand hat hier Lust auf eine KE. Die Aktienanzahl ist ja relativ gering und wenn man bedenkt, dass hier ein zwei bahnbrechende Meldungen ein Kursfeuerwerk auslösen können, dann lohnt es sich hier dabei zu sein.
Der geringe Float ist auch nicht sonderlich dienlich für die Shorties, die zudem auch noch gegen Insiderkäufe ankämpfen müssen. ich freu mich jedenfalls auf das nächste jahr mit OTI.

OTI Receives $10 Million Payment from Sale of SmartID Division

Divestiture Increases Company Emphasis on Core Contactless Technology and NFC Solutions

Rosh Pina, Israel – December 26, 2013 - On Track Innovations Ltd. (OTI) (NASDAQ: OTIV), a global leader in cashless payment solutions based on contactless transactions and near-field communication (NFC), has closed the sale of its SmartID division to SuperCom Ltd. (NASDAQ: SPCB), a global provider of traditional and digital identity solutions.

SuperCom acquired the SmartID division’s ongoing operations, including accounts and transfer of related employees, as well as intellectual property directly related to the SmartID business. OTI received $10 million in cash at the closing as the agreed closing payment. An additional payment of $7.5 million is expected to be received upon the completion of certain earn-out and business milestones, and an additional $5 million subject to performance-based milestones over three years.

“It was a long process and we are appreciative to the dedicated teams of both companies who made it happen,” said Ofer Tziperman, CEO of OTI. “I am especially proud of the SmartID team and wish them a great success with SuperCom.

“The divestiture marks a major step in executing on our strategic plan of focusing on our core business of providing cashless payment technology and solutions. With the additional cash now on our balance sheet, we can more effectively capitalize on the fast growing, multi-billion dollar NFC and cashless payments markets. We plan to leverage our bolstered balance sheet and significant competitive advantages to drive OTI’s long-term growth and profitability.”
 

Frage:
Wie wirkt sich der Verkauf auf den Gerichtsstreit aus? Wird die Angelegenheit aufgeschoben bis der neue Besitzer feststeht? Time is money , auch für OTI.

das ist wohl abhängig von der Gewichtung des Rechtstreits. Kleinere Patentstreitigkeiten werden wohl bei einem Kauf toleriert. Hier geht es aber um einen Mrd.-Markt. Oti ist davon überzeugt, dass das 043er-Patent alle NFC-fähige Phones betrifft (Today’s decision validates OTI’s intellectual property and strongly supports our view that the ‘043 patent is fundamental to every NFC-enabled phone,” said OTI’s CEO, Ofer Tziperman.).
Bei dem Markman Hearing bekam OTI in allen Punkten recht, ein späterer Revisionsantrag wurde abgelehnt ( the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York has denied T-Mobile USA’s request for reconsideration of the claim construction (Markman) decision in OTI’s patent infringement lawsuit alleging that Near Field Communication (NFC) enabled phones sold by T-Mobile USA infringe OTI’s U.S. Patent No. 6,045,043.).
Übrigens wird ein positives Urteil wohl die Grundlage einer Reihe von Klagen gegen weitere Hersteller sein. OTI hat nicht ohne Grund das Spezialunternehmen Global IP Law Group, LLC beauftragt.
Meiner Ansicht nach wird der mögliche Käufer von T-Mobile USA Interesse  an der Beendigung des Rechtstreits haben.  

.....Danke für deine Erklärungen Orion66!
Das war mir schon klar, dass eine Patentverletzung vorliegt und auch andere Hersteller dieses Patent verletzten. Ich denke nur, dass aufgrund dieses Verkaufs die Angelegenheit sich hinauszögert. Ich denke auch, dass der neue Besitzer schnell klare Verhältnisse schaffen will. Aber mit Rechtsverdrehern weiss man nie... :-)

Es bleibt jedenfalls spannend.

Gruss

Der steckt mit einer Menge $ ´s in OTI und hat ein Interesse, das zu vervielfachen. Er hat es dazu auch in der eigenen Hand.
