U.S. stock optical module leader Marvell announced an all-stock acquisition of optical chip leader Lumentum, with a consideration of approximately 115 billion USD

According to Marvell's announcement, the company has reached a final agreement to acquire Lumentum in an all-stock transaction.The agreement stipulates that Lumentum shareholders will receive 4.500 shares of Marvell common stock for each share they own, implying an enterprise value of approximately $115 billion for Lumentum, equivalent to about $1132 per share, representing a premium of approximately 23.9% over the closing price on October 28, which was unaffected by rumors. After the transaction is completed, existing Marvell shareholders will hold about 67%, while Lumentum shareholders will hold about 33%.Both parties stated that the merger will integrate Marvell's capabilities in electrical and optical interconnects, switching, and custom chips, along with Lumentum's strengths in high-performance lasers, optical transceiver modules, and optical circuit switching, aiming to create a full-stack connectivity portfolio for AI infrastructure and expand the addressable market size to approximately $550 billion.The transaction is expected to achieve over $1 billion in annualized operating cost synergies and is anticipated to enhance Marvell's non-GAAP earnings per share in the first year post-closing. The closing is expected in the first half of 2028, pending approval from both parties' shareholders and regulators. After the closing, Matt Murphy will continue to serve as Chairman and CEO, and three directors from Lumentum, including CEO Michael Hurlston, will join Marvell's board of directors.

South Korea plans to impose an 11% tax on profits from perpetual contracts of U.S. stocks traded on overseas exchanges starting next year

According to a report by South Korea's "Daily Economic News," the Ministry of Economy and Finance has decided to classify perpetual contracts linked to U.S. stocks as overseas stock derivatives, bringing them under the scope of capital gains tax. Starting next year, profits earned from investing in such products through overseas cryptocurrency exchanges will be subject to an 11% tax rate, calculated after deducting a basic exemption of 2.5 million Korean won from annual earnings, which is half of the tax rate for overseas spot stocks (22%).The report states that U.S. stock perpetual contracts are derivatives traded through overseas cryptocurrency exchanges like Binance, tracking U.S. stocks such as Nvidia, Apple, and Tesla. Since the Financial Services Commission of South Korea has not permitted perpetual contracts, South Korean investors can only participate through overseas exchanges. According to industry statistics, the trading volume of such products across 19 global exchanges from January to August this year was approximately $1 trillion. The South Korean government plans to monitor investors' relevant trading records at overseas exchanges and tax them accordingly. The news cites sources from South Korean government departments, but has not yet received official confirmation from the Ministry of Economy and Finance.
