Marvell Technology has agreed to acquire rival semiconductor company Inphi .
The cash-and-stock deal will lead to a combined company with an enterprise value of about $40 billion. Under the deal, Marvell will pay $66 a share in cash and 2.323 shares of stock for each share of Inphi. Inphi will be worth $157.83 a share, according to the deal’s terms.
"Our acquisition of Inphi will fuel Marvell's leadership in the cloud and extend our 5G position over the next decade," said Matt Murphy, Marvell CEO and president.
