康卡斯特放弃收购21世纪福克斯，迪士尼将成最终赢家

Comcast has formally withdrawn its competing $65 billion bid to acquire 21st Century Fox, ceding the rights to the entertainment company to Disney’s upped $71.3 billion offer. Comcast says it will instead shift all focus to its ongoing efforts to acquire Europe’s Sky instead.

康卡斯特已经正式撤回了对21世纪福克斯公司的650亿美元的收购报价，将这家娱乐公司的收购权让给了报价713亿美元的迪士尼公司。康卡斯特称将把所有的注意力转移到正在进行的Europe’s Sky的收购上。

Per an official statement from the company, “Comcast does not intend to pursue further the acquisition of the Twenty-First Century Fox assets and, instead, will focus on our recommended offer for Sky.”

根据该公司的一份官方声明，“康卡斯特不打算进一步收购21世纪福克斯资产，相反将专注于我们对Europe’s Sky的推荐报价。”

Disney first announced its bid for Fox’s assets — which include the movie studio 20th Century Fox, the company’s TV production arm 20th Century Fox Television, Fox-owned cable networks (including FX and National Geographic), and a controlling stake in Hulu — in a $52.4 billion bid last December. But following AT&T’s successful acquisition of Time Warner, Comcast was emboldened to make a $65 billion all-cash bid of its own, confident that regulatory approval for a Comcast-Fox deal wouldn’t be an issue. Disney countered that offer with a $71.3 billion bid last month, and it seems that Comcast isn’t interested in going any higher.

去年12月份迪士尼以524亿美元的价格首次宣布对福克斯的资产进行收购，其中包括电影公司20世纪福克斯公司、电视制作公司20世纪福克斯电视、福克斯旗下的有线电视网（包括FX和国家地理），以及Hulu的控股股份。但在AT&T成功收购时代华纳之后，康卡斯特大胆地提出了每股650亿美元的全现金收购要约，相信监管机构批准收购康卡斯特的交易将不会成为一个问题。但上个月迪士尼公司又以713亿美元的价格收购了该公司，而康卡斯特似乎对收购价格不感兴趣。

Now that Comcast is no longer trying to steal Fox out from under it and antitrust approval from the Justice Department is already secured, it would seem that there aren’t any obstacles left for Disney’s landmark acquisition.

既然康卡斯特已经不再试图以低价收购福克斯，而司法部的反垄断审查已经得到了保障，那么对于迪斯尼的里程碑式的收购来说，似乎没有任何障碍了。
