Sun Didn't Accept IBM Offer

If Sun goes away, java and all current undergoing opensource project sponsored by Sun will not be the same. IBM's only intentions in respect to these project would be to phase them out in favor of their own long seasoned equivalent products.
On Saturday, Sun Microsystems reportedly rejected IBM's formal buyout offer,citing the bid was insufficient and putting future deal talks at risk.
IBM reportedly made a formal bid of $9.40 a share, or less, for Sun, which in turn rejected the offer and terminated Big Blue's right to exclusive merger talks, the Journal reported. IBM, in turn, withdrew its buyout offer.
In addition to holding a belief that the bid was too low, Sun apparently was also concerned that the terms of the offer provided IBM with too much flexibility in being able to walk away from the deal.
It's obvious this deal will get a second request (for more information) from regulators. And once it does, it'll take six months, at a minimum, to a year before a decision is reached," said one attorney who specializes in anti-trust matters. "Sun can be twisting in the wind for a year." A second request for information signals to the parties antitrust regulators are formally investigating the transaction to decide whether to challenge it or not in court.When it comes to storage technology using tape drives, which amounted to $987 million in revenues for the first three quarters last year, IBM held 66.6 percent of the market and Sun a 33.4 percent share slice, according to IDC. Combined, the two companies would hold 100 percent of the tape market.
Disagreements over setting the price of a break-up fee, a penalty the suitor or target company would have to pay to undo a merger agreement, are not new and have been known to occasionally derail merger talks, the attorney noted.
