(NOVL) announced that it will be acquired by Attachmate Corporation, a software company supported by private equity firms such as Golden Gate Capital, Francisco Partners and Thoma Bravo. Novell expects the deal to close in the first quarter of 2011. Attachmate Corporation will acquire Novell for $6.10 per share in cash in a transaction valued at approximately $2.2 billion. The purchase price represents a premium of 28.0% to Novell&#8217;s closing share price on March 2, 2010 (when Elliott Associates offered to buy Novell in a deal valued at about $1 billion) and a 9% premium to Novell&#8217;s closing stock price on November 19, 2010.

		<description><![CDATA[Enterprise software developer, Novell Inc. (NOVL) reported third quarter 2010 earnings of 5 cents, in line with both the Zacks Consensus Estimate and the year-ago quarter. Earnings include stock based compensation but exclude one time item. The better-than-expected result was primarily driven by stringent cost management. Revenue Revenues decreased 8.0% year over year to $199.0 million from $216.1 million in the year-ago quarter. Foreign currency exchange rates favorably impacted revenues by $1.0 million. According to management, the year-over-year decline was primarily due to customer uncertainty related to the ongoing review of various alternatives that are aimed at enhancing stockholder value, going forward. In March, Novell rejected a buyout offer from Elliott Associates L.P., citing that the proposal of $5.75 per share in cash is inadequate and it undervalues the company&#8217;s ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Stocks fell for a second consecutive week as persistent worries about the economy continued to weigh on investor sentiments. Concerned that the economy would slide back into recession, investors chose to stay away from stocks and flew to the safety of government debt. The Dow industrials and the Standard &#38; Poor’s 500-stock index dropped on Friday but the Nasdaq managed to pull off a tepid advance. Absence of catalysts further eroded volume on Friday, which already has fallen to a record low this month. The Dow average fell 57 points, or nearly 0.6%, to close at 10213. The S&#38;P 500 index dropped 0.4% to 1072. The Dow average has re-entered the negative territory for the year.

		<description><![CDATA[A leading technology software company, Novell Inc. (NOVL) lowered its third quarter 2010 revenues and operating margin guidance, previously given out during the second quarter earnings call. Novell shares fell 19 cents, or 3.2% to $5.82 on Tuesday trading based on negative investor sentiment. Novell&#8217;s lowered guidance is mainly due to customer softness, given that they remain cautious regarding the company’s plan to explore strategic alternatives. The uncertainty to sell itself outright to another entity is making customers wary, which is having a negative impact on the company’s sales. Novell expects to report third quarter 2010 results on August 26, 2010. Net revenues for the third quarter are expected to be in the range of $197 million to $199 million, down from the previous expectation of $205 million to $210 ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Red Hat Inc. (RHT) has entered into a partnership with the premier networking company, Cisco Systems Inc. (CSCO), to expand their virtualization offerings. Red Hat, a leading provider of open source solutions, and Cisco will work together in integrating Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization software with Cisco’s virtual network link (VN-Link) technology. This is expected to provide superior performance, higher network visibility and control to customers of both companies at a much lower cost. Red Hat’s Enterprise Virtualization has been well received by large vendors such as Fujitsu, IBM (IBM) and NTT Communications for their cloud deployments. Increased customer wins will result in stronger growth for the company, going forward. Under the collaboration with Cisco, Cisco’s Unified Computing System, Virtual Interface Card will combine with the Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) hypervisor included in ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Recently, Palo Alto, California-based VMware Inc. (VMW) announced that it has been proclaimed the leader in the Server Virtualization space by the U.S.-based research firm, Gartner Inc. Gartner has placed VMware in the “Leader&#8221; quadrant of its Magic Quadrant (MQ), for the company’s contribution toward x86 server virtualization infrastructure. The MQ is a research tool providing in-depth qualitative analysis of a market and its current affairs. VMware launched its x86 virtualization technology in February 1999, to facilitate programmers to run multiple operating systems simultaneously on an x86 computer in a safe and efficient manner. Recent research reveals that the virtualization space will grow in conjunction with rapid growth in cloud computing. Hence, we believe that VMware, a leader in virtualization technology, would be able to capitalize on this growth opportunity. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I spent most of this week at the 2010 CFA Institute Annual Conference, attending several great presentations and panels. Many of the topics centered around strategy, though the regulatory environment and Europe came up frequently during Q&#38;A sessions. In terms of strategies for dealing with the uncertainty, valuation and diversification were stressed constantly. Seth Klarman, president of the Baupost Group and author of the book &#8220;Margin of Safety,&#8221; opined that &#8220;price is an essential determinant of valuations&#8221; and emphasized that buyers should be focused on their entry points. Jeremy Grantham, co-founder of investment firm GMO and known for calling market bubbles, suggested altering portfolio allocations as the risk environment changes. (John Bogle, founder of mutual fund giant Vanguard, said later in the conference that his personal bond allocation is equivalent ]]></description>

(NOVL) announced that its Board of Directors have rejected the unsolicited buyout offer of $2 billion or $5.75 per share in cash from Elliott Associates, L.P., the largest institutional stockholder of Novell. Novell cited the offer to be inadequate and significantly below the company’s value, thereby undervaluing the firm. Novell shares fell 1.4% and closed at $5.64 yesterday. The shares had soared 25.89% (or $1.23) to $5.98 in after-hours trading, just after the company made the offer public on March 4 that indicated positive investor sentiments regarding the takeover as investors hoped for a higher bid. Elliott is an investment firm with over $16 billion in assets and holds approximately 8.5% of NOVL’s common stock. The price represented a premium of 49% over the company&#8217;s ]]></description>

However, quarterly revenue of $202 million decreased 6% from the year-ago figure. This was due to softness in 2009 invoicing and weakness in the company’s legacy products. Moreover, the decline was a result of a sharp drop in software license revenue, which fell 28% year over year. Services revenue declined 20.1% year over year, while maintenance and subscription revenue remained flat compared to the year-ago quarter. By product line, Novell’s revenue from Linux Platform Products was up 6% year over year to $37 million, revenue from Identity, Access and Compliance Management was down 13% to $29 million, while revenue from Systems and Resource Management was ]]></description>

EPS was above the company’s guidance of 15 – 16 cents. EPS was down by one cent from 18 cents reported in the year-ago quarter due to lower interest income, which was $2.2 million for the quarter, $5.9 million less than last year, primarily due to the lower interest rate. The results for the quarter were fueled by economic recovery, particularly in North America and Europe and strong pick-up in the U.S., improving corporate IT spending environment, Red Hat’s robust growth potential, new product launches, margin expansion, strong execution and increased customer demand ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A leading technology software company, Novell, Inc. (NOVL) reported fourth-quarter earnings that beat the Zacks Consensus Estimates. Although revenue declined, earnings were up from the year-ago period. Excluding the non-cash goodwill and intangible assets impairment charge of $279 million, adjusted EPS (non-GAAP) came in at 11 cents in the quarter and beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 6 cents. Non-GAAP EPS increased 83.3% from the 6 cents reported in the year-ago period due to cost-cutting efforts. As a result of lower operating expenses (sales and marketing fell 24.3% and product and development expenses fell 9.3% year over year) non-GAAP operating margin improved to 17.2% in the quarter from 13.1% in the year-ago quarter. The company plans to reach its long-term goal of generating 20% in operating margin and expects top-line ]]></description>

Microsoft acquired the patents from Silicon Graphics and subsequently sold them to Allied Security Trust (AST) at a private auction. AST is expected to resell the patents to Open Invention Network (OIN). The patents purportedly relate to Linux open source technology, which is the reason for the interest in them. OIN consists of member companies such as RedHat (RHAT), International Business Machines (IBM), Phillips and Novell (NOVL), which use open source technology in their products. OIM licenses the patents but typically does not resell them. AST is in the business of acquiring patents from owners, licensing the technology back to them and ultimately selling off the patents.
