Merger activity decreased last week with six new deals announced. The second of the three semiconductor deals that had large spreads because of concerns that Chinese regulators might not approve the deal, received Chinese regulatory approval last week. The acquisition of Cavium (CAVM) by Marvell (MRVL) saw the spread on the deal collapse to just 0.17%. The spread on the deal was as high as 17.49% on May 11th. The Microsemi acquisition closed on May 29th and that only leaves the acquisition of NXP Semiconductors (NXPI) by Qualcomm, which had a wide spread of 16.68% as of last Friday.
