如果 AOL 与 Time Warner 合并,那么至少将制造两个第一:美国历史上最大的公司合并及全球最大的媒体巨人。AOL 瞄准的是 Time Warner 的有线电视网络,而后者则将从容髓陆互联网。同时,它们联合的资产将超过3500亿美元,年收入超过400亿美元。而且拥有从ICQ 到华纳兄弟电视网这样一系列的著名品牌。如果不出意外,交易将在2000年底完成。AOL 的股票价格下挫使得交易的市值由1900亿美元降至1620亿美元。但这不妨碍其成为美国历史上最大的公司合并。原先的记录是由 MCI Worldcom(Nasdaq:WCOM)及 Sprint(NYSE:FON)保持的1150亿美元。
If AOL merged with Time Warner, then at least two would make: first in the history of the United States the largest company merger and the world’s largest media giant. AOL is targeting Time Warner’s cable network, which will be able to access the Internet. At the same time, their combined assets will exceed 350 billion U.S. dollars and annual revenues will exceed 40 billion U.S. dollars. And from ICQ to Warner Bros. Television such a series of well-known brands. If nothing else, the transaction will be completed by the end of 2000. AOL’s stock price plunged the market value of the transaction from $ 190 billion to $ 162 billion. But this will not prevent it from becoming the largest merger of companies in the history of the United States. The original record was $ 115 billion held by MCI Worldcom (Nasdaq: WCOM) and Sprint (NYSE: FON).
