STOCKHOLM, Oct. 27 (Xinhua) -- Ericsson and Sony Corporation Thursday said that Sony will acquire Ericsson's 50 percent stake in Sony Ericsson, "making the mobile handset business a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sony."
新华社斯德哥尔摩10月27日电——周四，索尼爱立信公司透露，索尼将收购爱立信50%的索爱股份，“使该手机公司成为索尼的全资子公司。”

"Ericsson will receive 1.05 billion euro (1.47 billion U.S. dollars) cash payment," the Sweden-based world telecommunication giant Ericsson said in a statement in Stockholm.
总部位于瑞典的全球电信巨头爱立信在斯德哥尔摩发布的一份声明中称，“爱立信将获得10.5亿欧元(约合14.7亿美元)的现金支付。”

Sir Howard Stringer, Sony's Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President, said the "acquisition makes sense for Sony and Ericsson, and it will make the difference for consumers."
索尼董事长兼CEO霍华德．斯金格称这一“收购对于索尼和爱立信都有意义，并将对消费者产生影响。”

His counterpart in Ericsson Hans Vestberg echoed the argument saying that "today we take an equally logical step."
爱立信的总裁兼CEO卫翰思附和了此观点，称“今天我们采取的措施也符合逻辑。”

When Sony Ericsson formed the joint venture in 2001, it combined the uNPRofitable handset operations from Ericsson and Sony and became sixth-biggest player in the global market.
索爱2001年成立合资公司的时候，它结合了索尼和爱立信亏本的手机业务，成为全球手机市场第六大参与者。

During its 10 years of operation, Sony Ericsson has generated approximately 1.5 billion euros (2.1 billion dollars) of profit and paid dividends totaling about 1.9 billion euros (2.7 billion dollars) to its parent companies.
在10年的经营过程中，索爱产生了近15亿欧元（约合21亿美元）的利润，为其母公司共支付了约19亿欧元（约合27以美元）的红利。

However, the Japanese-Swedish group announced that its pre-tax income dropped by half during the third quarter this year compared to the same period last year, according to a company statement issued this month.
然而，这个日本-瑞典合资公司宣称，和去年同期相比，今年第三季度的税前收入减少了一半，本月发布的一份公司声明这样表示。

The transaction is expected to close in January 2012, subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals.
该交易有望于2012年1月完成，取决于惯例成交条件，其中包括监管部门的批准。
