Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) has confirmed it's buying Arm Holdings for $40B from SoftBa
nk (OTCPK:SFTBY).


The deal is expected to be immediately accretive to non-GAAP EPS and gross margi
n, Nvidia says.


Reports yesterday noted that Arm and Nvidia have been talking for weeks and that
a potential deal was imminent.


SoftBank will stay committed to long-term Arm success through its ownership stak
e in Nvidia (expected to be under 10%).

Nvidia says that Arm will continue to operate its open-licensing model while "ma
intaining the global customer neutrality that has been foundational to its succe
ss."

In the deal - approved by the boards of Nvidia, SoftBank Group and Arm - Nvidia
will pay SoftBank $21.5B in Nvidia common stock and $12B in cash ($2B payable at
signing). Nvidia shares to be issued at closing are 44.3M.


Also, SoftBank may receive up to $5B in cash or common stock via earn-outs, depe
nding on Arm reaching certain performance targets.

Nvidia is also issuing $1.5B in equity to Arm employees.
And it will finance the cash portion with cash on hand.

Nvidia plans a webcast at 8:30 a.m. ET to discuss the deal.
