Cambio de estrategia – BlackBerry en busca de inversionistas

En lo que se ha determinado que Fairfax falló en tener los 4.7 billones de dolares que querían conseguir para la compra de BlackBerry, ahora la empresa será siendo privada pero a sus propios términos y se sacude la directiva de la empresa.

Desde que los originales co-CEOs dejaron la empresa, BlackBerry ahora le ha cogido el gusto de estar madrugando y es que ahora se reveló que Fairfax, quienes tenían hasta hoy para continuar de lleno con el proceso de Compra-Venta de BlackBerry si no había alguna mejor oferta, declinó hacer la misma y al contrario, invierten $1 billón en la empresa, a la vez que la misma ha anunciado que estará en búsqueda de más fondos inversionistas.

BlackBerry Receives Investment of U.S. $1 Billion from Fairfax Financial and Other Institutional Investors

John S. Chen to be Appointed Executive Chair of BlackBerry’s Board of Directors and Interim CEO; Prem Watsa to be Appointed Lead Director

Company Concludes Review of Strategic Alternatives and Announces Changes to Board and Leadership Team

 

WATERLOO, ONTARIO and TORONTO, ONTARIO–(Marketwired – Nov. 4, 2013) – BlackBerry (NASDAQ:BBRY)(TSX:BB), a world leader in the mobile communications market, today announced that it has entered into an agreement pursuant to which Fairfax Financial Holdings Limited (“Fairfax”) and other institutional investors (collectively, the “Purchasers”) will invest in BlackBerry through a U.S. $1 billion private placement of convertible debentures. Fairfax has agreed to acquire U.S. $250 million principal amount of the Debentures. The transaction is expected to be completed within the next two weeks.

Under the terms of the transaction, the Purchasers will subscribe for U.S. $1 billion aggregate principal amount of 6% unsecured subordinated convertible debentures (the “Debentures”) convertible into common shares of BlackBerry at a price of U.S. $10.00 per common share (the “Transaction”), a 28.7% premium to the closing price of BlackBerry common shares on November 1, 2013. The Debentures have a term of seven years. Based on the number of common shares currently outstanding, if all of the U.S. $1 billion of Debentures were converted, the common shares issued upon conversion would represent approximately 16% of the common shares outstanding after giving effect to the conversion.

Upon the closing of the transaction, John S. Chen will be appointed Executive Chair of BlackBerry’s Board of Directors and, in that role, will be responsible for the strategic direction, strategic relationships and organizational goals of BlackBerry. Prem Watsa, Chairman and CEO of Fairfax, will be appointed Lead Director and Chair of the Compensation, Nomination and Governance Committee and Thorsten Heins and David Kerr intend to resign from the Board at closing.

In addition, Mr. Heins will step down as Chief Executive Officer at closing and Mr. Chen will serve as Interim Chief Executive Officer pending completion of a search for a new Chief Executive Officer.

Today’s announcement marks the conclusion of the review of strategic alternatives previously announced on August 12, 2013.

“Today’s announcement represents a significant vote of confidence in BlackBerry and its future by this group of preeminent, long-term investors,” said Barbara Stymiest, Chair of BlackBerry’s Board. “The BlackBerry Board conducted a thorough review of strategic alternatives and pursued the course of action that it concluded is in the best interests of BlackBerry and its constituents, including its shareholders. This financing provides an immediate cash injection on terms favorable to BlackBerry, enhancing our substantial cash position. Some of the most important customers in the world rely on BlackBerry and we are implementing the changes necessary to strengthen the company and ensure we remain a strong and innovative partner for their needs.”

Ms. Stymiest added, “I am also pleased that John Chen, a distinguished and proven leader in the technology industry, has agreed to serve as BlackBerry’s Executive Chairman. I look forward to continuing to serve BlackBerry as a member of its Board of Directors and chair of the Board’s Audit and Risk Management Committee. On behalf of the Board, I would also like to thank Thorsten for his service to BlackBerry over the past six years. Under his leadership, BlackBerry established a more efficient cost structure, developed new products, saw the adoption of BES 10 and delivered the BlackBerry 10 platform. These are all significant accomplishments. We are grateful for his contributions and wish him well in his future endeavors.”

“Fairfax is a long-time supporter, investor and partner to BlackBerry and, with this investment, reinforces its deep commitment to the future success of this company,” said Prem Watsa, Chairman and CEO of Fairfax. “I look forward to rejoining the BlackBerry Board and to working with the other directors and management team, under John Chen’s leadership, to shape the next stage of BlackBerry’s strategy and growth.”

“I am pleased to join a company with as much potential as BlackBerry,” said Mr. Chen. “BlackBerry is an iconic brand with enormous potential – but it’s going to take time, discipline and tough decisions to reclaim our success. I look forward to leading BlackBerry in its turnaround and business model transformation for the benefit of all of its constituencies, including its customers, shareholders and employees.”

The closing of the transaction is subject to customary conditions, including approval from the Toronto Stock Exchange.

Pursuant to the Transaction agreement, the investors have an option to purchase up to an additional U.S. $250 million principal amount of Debentures within 30 days following closing. If an additional U.S. $250 million of Debentures is issued and all U.S. $1.25 billion of Debentures were converted, the common shares issued upon conversion would represent approximately 19.2% of the common shares after giving effect to the conversion, based on the number of common shares currently outstanding.

La buena noticia con esto es que definitivamente tendremos BlackBerry para rato de manera y como se diría en inglés, “free of the-powers-that-be”, pero todo con un costo y es que en efecto se confirmó que Thorsten Heins, quien fue el sucesor de Mike Lazaridis y Jim Balsillie desde Enero 2012 y prácticamente le dio el curso correcto y logró darle un respiro (contra aunque haya sido tarde) con el lanzamiento del entonces esperado BlackBerry 10, quedó fuera del panorama.

Considero que Heins, se llevó y cargó con los platos rotos de la pasada administración de BlackBerry y vamos a ser francos, el tipo puso su empeño y les aseguro que si por lo menos, hubiera estado de CEO desde el 2010, ahora mismo estuviéramos en BlackBerry 12, pero el tiempo dictaminó otra cosa y considero injusto una salida tan antiheroica y menos cuando el daba la cara hasta por “oops” de la empresa que realmente no le tocaba a él.

Desde el fin de semana, se venia escuchando que Fairfax no iba a tener los 4.7 billones de torta para hoy, sino que pudo haber sido algo como carnada para empresas interesadas en hacer una mejor oferta, pero al parecer, la empresa optó por darse una segunda oportunidad.

John S. Chen es el nuevo jefe de la empresa interinamente.
