Western Digital Announces Acquisition Of SanDisk

Western Digital® Corporation (NASDAQ: WDC) and SanDisk Corporation (NASDAQ: SNDK) today announced that they have entered into a definitive agreement under which Western Digital will acquire all of the outstanding shares of SanDisk for a combination of cash and stock. The offer values SanDisk common stock at US$86.50 per share or a total equity value of approximately US$19 billion, using a five-day volume weighted average price ending on October 20, 2015 of US$79.60 per share of Western Digital common stock. The transaction has been approved by the boards of directors of both companies.

The combination is the next step in the transformation of Western Digital into a storage solutions company with global scale, extensive product and technology assets, and deep expertise in non-volatile memory (NVM). With this transaction, Western Digital will double its addressable market and expand its participation in higher-growth segments. SanDisk brings a 27-year history of innovation and expertise in NVM, systems solutions and manufacturing. The combination also enables Western Digital to vertically integrate into NAND, securing long-term access to solid state technology at lower cost.

The proposed combination creates significant value for both SanDisk and Western Digital shareholders. Western Digital brings a successful track record of M&A with a number of acquisitions over the last several years helping to fuel innovation, create value and strongly position the company to capture higher-growth opportunities. In addition, Western Digital's operational excellence, coupled with the recently announced decision by China's Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM) allowing Western Digital to integrate substantial portions of its WD and HGST businesses, is expected to generate additional cost synergies.

Western Digital and SanDisk's complementary product lines, including hard disk drives ("HDDs"), solid-state drives ("SSDs"), cloud datacenter storage solutions and flash storage solutions, will provide the foundation for a broader set of products and technologies from consumer to datacenter. Both companies have strong R&D and engineering capabilities and a rich base of fundamental technologies with over 15,000 combined patents issued or pending worldwide.

Toshiba has been a long-term strategic partner to SanDisk for 15 years. The joint venture (JV) with Toshiba will be ongoing, enabling vertical integration through a technology partnership driven by deep collaboration across design and process capabilities. The JV provides stable NAND supply at scale through a time-tested business model and extends across NVM technologies such as 3D NAND.

Steve Milligan will continue to serve as chief executive officer of the combined company, and the company will remain headquartered in Irvine, California. Upon closing, Sanjay Mehrotra is expected to join the Western Digital Board of Directors.

The transaction will be financed by a mix of cash, new debt financing and Western Digital stock.  In connection with the transaction, Western Digital expects to enter into new debt facilities totaling US$18.4 billion, including a US$1.0 billion revolving credit facility. The proceeds from the new debt facilities are expected to be used to pay part of the purchase price, refinance existing debt of Western Digital and SanDisk and pay transaction related fees and expenses. If SanDisk's cash balance falls below certain thresholds at the time of transaction close, the merger agreement provides for an adjustment to the mix of cash and stock consideration.

The transaction is subject to approval by SanDisk shareholders and, in the event that the Unisplendour transaction does not close, Western Digital shareholders, receipt of regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions. The transaction is expected to close in the third calendar quarter of 2016.

BofA Merrill Lynch and J.P. Morgan are acting as lead financial advisors to Western Digital and will provide committed financing for the transaction. Also, Credit Suisse is acting as a financial advisor and providing committed financing, and RBC Capital Markets is providing committed financing. Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton LLP and Baker & McKenzie are acting as legal advisors to Western Digital.

Goldman Sachs is acting as the exclusive financial advisor to SanDisk. Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP is acting as the exclusive legal advisor to SanDisk.

Unboxing the Alcatel Flash 2

Good packaging, nice camera resolution, reasonable pricing.. These are some of my first impressions of the Alcatel Flash 2.

The Alcatel Flash 2 was first introduced couple of weeks ago. Fresh with their brand color " Flash Green" signifying innovation, youth energy. One mobile feature of the Alcatel Flash 2 stands out is providing mobile users a unique mobile experience - MOBIGRAPHY.

Launched exclusively in Lazada PH last September 30 at exactly 12 noon was a blast as it was sold out in couple of hours.

FEATURES:

• 5-inch HD Crystal Clear IPS Display
• 1.3GHz MediaTek MT6753 Octa-core Processor
• Android Lollipop
• 2GB RAM
• 16GB Internal Storage
• 13-megapixel rear camera with Real Tone Flash, f/2.0 aperture
• 5-megapixel front camera with LED Flash
• 3000mAh battery
• Dual 4G LTE dual-SIM

I was able to do a bit of a test drive of the Alcatel Flash 2 during Lazada's Unboxing Session.

The packaging is pretty impressive. I have never heard or saw a phone package that includes a leather casing and screen protector. I usually purchased such items separately.

Screen size is good enoough. Touchscreen responsive is also good. I wasn't able to robustly test the battery life and other apps like games. But I was able to check bluetooth connectivity. It took a while for me to pair my HTC Incredible S to the Flash 2. Luckily, the pairing was a success.

In every mobile phone I was able to get hands on is to test the camera. 13MP resolution of the rear camera is impressive, as well as the 5MP front camera. Perfect for those who loves doing selfie. To my surprise, the Alcatel Flash 2 has a time lapse capability. Love it!

How I wish there was more time to check the unit but our time ran out. Lucky for those who got picked in the raffle to own some of the units.

Looking forward of attending another unboxing session.

TackThis! - Online Store Creation Made Easy

While the Philippines is routinely celebrated as the social media capital of the world, there are few online tools that enable Filipinos to monetize from these platforms. Online store creator TackThis!wants to address this problem.

TackThis! allows everyone, including established retailers, small business owners, and avid bloggers, to quickly and easily set up an online store. TackThis! is fueled by Voyager Innovations, the digital arm of PLDT and Smart Communications, Inc.

TackThis! is an end-to-end service - through it you can showcase your products, manage your store inventory, and accept payments through a variety of providers.

While these features may sound complex, TackThis! was actually designed with the non-techie in mind.

“In the age of Instagram, everyone has a personal brand. You could be a foodie who loves to write cookbooks, for example. TackThis! would allow you to sell those cookbooks online with an easy-to-learn and easy-to-use dashboard. That way, you don’t have to focus on mastering complex technology but only on what you do best: sharing your passion and developing your own brand,” said Rebecca Ricalde, the assistant vice president for digital commerce at Voyager Innovations.

TackThis! stores can go wherever you go. You can post your TackThis! store to social media sites like Facebook, as well as blog sites like Tumblr and Blogspot, for your personal blog. The fact that you can have your TackThis! store posted on different platforms means that you can instantly have a substantial amount of potential customers.

Having such a wide and varied presence in the blogosphere and online world should ultimately create more customers for your store, and TackThis! has several features in place, such as order fulfillment, to aid you with just this. In short, TackThis! facilitates and optimizes the buying process, so you can effectively sell your product.

“Visiting an online store is one thing; purchasing something from there is a whole different animal. TackThis! makes it easy to convert visitors into customers. As an example, we offer a variety of payment options tailored for the Philippine market, including cash-on-delivery. These choices make it hard for a customer to say ‘no’ to the product they are really pining for in your store,” said Ricalde.

TackThis! facilitates individual sales, but also makes it easy for you to achieve what every store owner wants: scale. While there are already many online sellers in the Philippines, most of them are selling informally on classified sites or over social media. This means that they have to deal with any inquiry manually and all customers one-by-one.

In contrast to this system, TackThis! automates many aspects of your store through its built in dashboards and tools, so that you can reach infinitely more people. For example, if you’re selling informally through a social media site, you’ll often get inquiries for products that you no longer have stock of. This wastes both the inquirer’s time, resulting in a bad customer experience, as well as yours.

Since TackThis! has automated inventory tracking, customers will only be able to purchase products that you actually have in stock. This means that they have a smoother customer experience and that you will no longer have to worry about losing potential sales. You can focus on the bigger picture, as Padua noted.

WD Redesigns World's No. 1 Selling Portable Hard Drive

New My Passport Drives Now Feature Up to 3 TB Capacity and Easier Backup Software

WD®, a Western Digital (NASDAQ:WDC) company, and world leader in storage solutions, today introduced the new, redesigned My Passport® Ultra portable hard drives and My Passport for Mac drives. With the My Passport line now in its 7th generation, the My Passport Ultra and My Passport for Mac portable hard drives are now available in capacities up to 3 TB  and in four stylish colors  - Classic Black, Brilliant White, Wild Berry and Noble Blue.

     “With more photos being taken than ever before, it’s critical to have a high capacity, reliable external storage solution that you can carry everywhere,” said Tony Tate, general manager and vice president of Content Storage Solutions at WD. “The latest generation My Passport drives deliver an easier automatic back-up experience, hardware-based encryption for security and higher capacities than ever before.”

My Passport Ultra portable drives come in 3 TB, 2 TB, 1 TB and 500 GB capacities and feature 256-bit AES hardware encryption  – delivering a high level of security with no impact to write-speed or CPU activity. If your My Passport Ultra falls into the wrong hands, the 256-bit AES hardware encryption protects users’ files, folders, photos, videos and music with a password known only to them. USB 3.0 compatibility provides fast data transfer rates of up to 5 gigabits per second, while being backwardly compatible with USB 2.0. My Passport for Mac portable drives are available in capacities of 3 TB, 2 TB, 1 TB and also feature 256-bit AES hardware encryption with USB 3.0 connectivity.

My Passport Ultra’s built-in WD Backup software is a simple-to-use application with focus on reducing frustration when setting up a backup plan to preserve data. Since 31% of devices have had malware at some point, having your data safely backed up onto a secondary device like a My Passport drive is critical to preserving precious data.
