Carey Olsen has advised global leader in automotive processing and networking, NXP Semiconductors NV (NASDAQ: NXPI) (“NXP”) on its entry into a definitive agreement to acquire Aviva Links via an all-cash transaction valued at US$242.5 million. The acquisition is expected to close in the first half of 2025 subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals.
Aviva Links brings the industry’s most advanced ASA compliant portfolio, supporting SerDes point-to-point and Ethernet-based connectivity to enable complex driver-assistance systems and in-vehicle infotainment.
