BlackBerry is negotiating the sale of its assets with Intel, LG, Samsung, Cisco and other

Not so long ago, Habré published news that the BlackBerry company received an offer from a Canadian investor to sell its assets for $ 4.7 billion. Many thought the deal was decided; however, this is not quite the case. It turns out that large technology companies have also expressed interest in BlackBerry assets.

However, it is unclear whether it is all about the company as a whole, or about a number of patents and technologies. In any case, preliminary requests have already been made by Intel, LG, Samsung, Cisco, as well as Google. Their proposals of the company will be voiced next week, and then it will become clear whether there is really a serious offer, or until the "preliminary requests" have gone further.

Despite the difficult situation, companies have something to offer to customers. So, independent experts estimate the cost of BlackBerry services (which, as you know, seem to be protected from outside interference) in the amount of 3 to 4.5 billion dollars. In addition, the company's patents are estimated at $ 2-3 billion. And the company still has 3.1 billion more in the form of financial assets and investments. True, if no one buys the company, then in the next one and a half years, its losses may amount to about 2 billion dollars.

A company representative answered journalists' questions only that now a special committee (with the participation of independent advisers) is looking for strategic alternatives. Nothing more was stated.
