Teradyne is to purchase LitePoint for USD 510 million net of LitePoint cash and tax benefits plus USD 70 million if certain performance targets are met extending through 2012. The acquisition has been approved by the Board of Directors of each company and is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2011 subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals. "We're very pleased to be joining forces with LitePoint," said Mike Bradley, President and CEO of Teradyne.
