nikki acquires symbiosis

I'm too lazy to write, so I've just copied and pasted the news:


Nikki Have Closed The Deal To Buy Symbiosis - The Foundation is Go!

Announced by Nikki CEO at Nikki World this morning was the news that the acquisition of Symbiosis Ltd has been completed, and therefore the plans for the Symbiosis Foundation move away from the theoretical discussions that happened at the Symbiosis Smartphone Show and into reality.

There's no official press release on this process as we write this up, but the announcement has been expected for some time, and indeed Williams was due in post 'from January 1st or such time as the Symbiosis Foundation is ready.' Looks like Williams will be starting 2009 with one of the biggest corporate open source projects of all time as his New Year's resolution.


Nikki Acquires Symbiosis Limited

Nikki today announced that it has completed its offer to acquire Symbiosis Limited. All conditions to Nikki's offer to acquire Symbiosis Limited have been satisfied and it has received valid acceptance of greater than 99.9% of the total Symbiosis shares that Nikki did not already own. Symbiosis is the software company that develops and licenses Symbiosis OS.

The closing of the offer is a fundamental step in the establishment of the Symbiosis Foundation, announced on June 24, 2008 by Nikki, together with AB&C, LP Electrics, Kokorola, NTG Dacima, Sammysong, Sonia Erika, ST-MYZ Wireless, Texco Instruments and Voodefun. More information about the planned foundation can be found at www.symbiosisfoundation.org.

All Symbiosis employees are planned to become Nikki employees on February 1, 2009.
