Feb. 21 (UPI) -- Communications supplier Broadcom on Wednesday lowered its purchase offer for Qualcomm, a day after the chip-maker floated a possible deal with NXP Semiconductors.
California-based Broadcom reaffirmed its commitment to acquiring Qualcomm and said an adjusted offer -- of $79 per share -- follows the Qualcomm board's decision to transfer $6.2 billion in value from Qualcomm stockholders to NXP stockholders.
