Nokia Corp.’s mobile phone operation has officially been transferred to Microsoft Corp. The transaction’s official closure，announced in a news release on Friday，puts an end to a long drawn process which started almost eight months ago，when Microsoft and Nokia first announced the 5.44 billion Euros($7.52 billion)deal.
諾基亞公司25日宣布已正式將旗下移動電話業(yè)務移交至微軟集團，為雙方歷時近8個月、最初宣布總額為54.4億歐元(75.2億美元)的收購案畫上了句號。(《華爾街日報》)
In its release，Nokia said there had been some purchase price adjustments relating to net working capital and cash earnings，which mean that it expects the total transaction price to be slightly higher than the earlier-announced price tag of 5.44 billion Euros.
諾基亞在新聞稿中聲明，雙方基于營運資本凈額和現(xiàn)金收益對收購價格做出了一些調整，這意味著交易總額預計將略高于此前宣布的54.4億歐元。(《華爾街日報》)
Two Nokia plants will remain outside the deal-a manufacturing unit in Chennai，India，subject to an asset freeze by Indian tax authorities，and the Masan plant in South Korea，which it plans to shut down.

For Microsoft，the takeover of Nokia‘s phone business is a bold move to improve its odds in the mobile-phone business.
對微軟來說，收購諾基亞手機業(yè)務是提高其在移動電話領域發(fā)展勝算的一個大膽舉動。(《華爾街日報》)
Microsoft will not be using the Microsoft Mobile brand name. In the deal，Nokia is retaining its brand name for itself.

除移動手機業(yè)務以外，微軟還將接手諾基亞包括智能設備業(yè)務、設計團隊在內的設備與服務部門，以及Nokia.com這家網站與相關社交媒體。伴隨著軟件與硬件的深度整合，微軟將進一步加強并提升Windows設備的市場需求。
For Nokia，meanwhile，unloading the unprofitable handset business leaves it with a mobile network arm that competes with the likes of Huawei Technologies Co. and Ericsson. It will also hold on to a digital mapping platform，one of the mobile industry’s largest portfolios of patents and a large pile of cash.
對諾基亞而言，擺脫沒有利潤的手機業(yè)務將使其專注于移動網絡領域，與華為科技和愛立信等對手展開競爭。諾基亞還將重點發(fā)展一項數(shù)字地圖平臺，開展移動產業(yè)最大的技術專利授權服務之一，還將獲得一大筆現(xiàn)金。(《華爾街日報》)
通過此次交易，諾基亞將獲利32億歐元，約合42.2億美元。該交易完成后，諾基亞仍將擁有三大主要業(yè)務，即提供網絡基礎設施的“NSN”，提供定位服務的“HERE”，以及專注于技術授權與開發(fā)的“先進技術”。
