Clearance

3月9日，聯想集團通過了美國外國投資委員會(CFIUS)關于其收購IBM公司PC業務的審查，聯想控股公司總裁柳傳志顯然松了一口氣，并表示新聯想有望在今年第二季度正式掛牌運營。外電報如下：Lenovo Group has obtained U.S. government clearance for the purchase of IBM's PC unit. In response to national security concerns, IBM offered to tweak the deal, according to news reports. These tweaks included limiting Lenovo's access to U.S. government customers as well as physically sealing off buildings to be shared by the two companies. The measures were requested by U.S. officials to limit the threat of industrial espionage. With the concessions in place, Lenovo has gained the necessary approval to go ahead with the deal. Clearance在此表示“官方證明書”，即官方出具的、對（企業）無過失、信譽度等方面的證明。此外，Clearance還有“清潔；清理過的空間；清光林木的空曠地；清倉大拍賣”等多種含義。 據悉，聯想收購IBM公司PC業務的實際交易價格為17.5億美元，其中含6.5億美元現金、6億美元股票及5億美元的債務。收購完成后，聯想將成為全球第3大PC廠商，年收入規模約120億，進入世界500強企業。 （中國日報網站編）
