SEOUL: South Korea's SK Hynix said it had completed the first phase of its acquisition of Intel Corp's NAND flash memory chip business, after it received regulatory nods from eight countries including China.
In exchange, SK Hynix will pay US$7 billion out of the deal's total US$9 billion price tag, the world's second-largest memory chip maker said in a statement on Thursday.
The deal, signed in 2020, will allow Intel to focus on its smaller but more lucrative Optane memory business. For SK Hynix, it is the biggest acquisition ever as it seeks to boost its capacity to build NAND chips, used to store data in smartphones and data centre servers.
