- What it is
- Microsoft's announcement, dated 12 April 2021, of a definitive agreement to acquire Nuance Communications for $56.00 per share, in an all-cash transaction valued at $19.7 billion including Nuance's net debt. It is the buyer's own primary record of the price.
- How much weight it carries
- Written by the buyer and filed as an exhibit to its SEC report, so reliable on the price and its basis. It is promotional in tone, and the price was the agreed deal value, not the final paid amount, which the completion announcement does not restate.
