Broadcom has not yet completed the acquisition of VMware. Recently, news came out from the market that after the completion of the M&A transaction, Broadcom will increase the price of VMware products. In response, Broadcom CEO Hock Tan issued a statement saying that Broadcom's acquisition of VMware will not lead to price increases for the latter's products.
In May this year, US chipmaker Broadcom announced a US$61 billion acquisition of cloud computing company VMware, which is one of the largest technology deals ever, second only to Microsoft's US$69 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard and Dell's $67 billion acquisition of EMC in 2016.
Broadcom's acquisition of VMware will help the company shift from its core business of designing and selling semiconductors to more profitable enterprise software. Enterprises use VMware products to run their own servers and cloud servers more efficiently.
The deal has been under long-running investigations by EU and UK competition regulators.
