However, what was potentially most important for Steve Jobs, was that this acquisition would allow Jobs to put Disney content for sale in the App Store, providing more revenue for Apple. Nonetheless, Pixar were also negatively affected by the acquisition. They were mostly scared of the threat to their corporate culture.

Synopsis: Dow is acquiring Rohm and Haas from Ingersoll-Rand at an agreed price per share of $78. However, a deal with Kuwait’s Petrochemical Industries Company, which was supposed to generate $7 billion of cash to be used to finance the acquisition, had recently fell-through. The hiccup has led to Rohm taking legal action to force Dow to complete the acquisition as required by the merger agreement. The standalone value of Rohm’s share price is currently at $46.77 while the synergies could almost double that to $94.63 per share.
