據(jù)EE Times報道,意法愛立信(ST-Ericsson)周一發(fā)表聲明稱,宣布公司首席執(zhí)行官迪迪爾·拉姆赫(Didier Lamouche)將在本月底離職。意法愛立信是意法半導體和愛立信的移動芯片合資公司,目前仍處于虧損之中,該公司正籌劃進行重組。在此同時,兩大股東意法半導體集團和愛立信公司都想撤出這個不斷虧損的公司。

意法愛立信表示,2011年年底擔任公司首席執(zhí)行官的拉姆赫將離開公司,尋找“其它發(fā)展機遇”。拉姆赫現(xiàn)年53歲,他的離職將于本月31正式生效。意法半導體在一份單獨的聲明中也表示,拉姆赫還將辭去他在公司的無線晶片合資事業(yè)總裁職務(wù)。
由于智能手機和平板電腦的新款晶片未能彌補舊款產(chǎn)品銷售衰退的情形,意法愛立信從2009年成軍以來便未曾賺過錢,拉姆赫11年臨危受命,接下意法愛立信3年內(nèi)第3任CEO,負責檢討公司策略。
拉姆赫的離職,正值意法半導體和愛立信試圖在今年第三季度推出計劃,退出這家合資公司之時。意法半導體此前已經(jīng)表示,該公司計劃退出合資公司意法愛立信。意法愛立信一直沒有尋找到足夠多的新客戶,彌補大客戶諾基亞業(yè)務(wù)衰退給公司業(yè)績帶來的影響。意法半導體預(yù)計,退出合資公司意法愛立信在今年將給公司帶來最多5億美元的支出。
持有意法愛立信另外50%股份的母公司愛立信此前已經(jīng)表示,該公司并不希望接手意法愛立信的運營。市場分析師預(yù)計,目前擁有約5000名員工的意法愛立信,最終可能將完全關(guān)閉,或是把公司部分業(yè)務(wù)出售給英特爾、博通或三星電子等競爭對手。截至目前,意法半導體發(fā)言人對此報道未置可否。
母公司不表態(tài),金融界覺得該賣給中國人
Pohjola銀行(Pohjola Bank Oyj)駐赫爾辛基分析師勞哈拉(Hannu Rauhala)表示,拉姆赫“離職有助于為意法愛立信的未來走向鋪路”,“陸資企業(yè)可能會對這個合資事業(yè)有興趣,以利他們?yōu)樽约沂謾C或平板電腦打造自有晶片事業(yè),買下意法愛立信將是最簡單的方法。”
意法半導體駐巴黎發(fā)言人布瑞頓(Alexis Breton)除了公司新聞稿,婉拒進一步置評。
愛立信公司(Ericsson AB)發(fā)言人郝斯坦(KarinHallstan)表示:“愛立信仍在探尋一切選項,兩家母公司都渴望覓得解決之道?!?
北京時間晚間8時47分,意法半導體巴黎股價下挫1.5%,報6.08歐元;愛立信斯德哥爾摩股價上漲1.2%,報82.10克朗。
愛立信先前認列支出80億克朗(12億美元),以減記這個合資事業(yè)價值。去年12月20日,愛立信表示正在為其半數(shù)股權(quán)探尋一切選項,不排除讓意法愛立信熄燈的可能性。摩根大通集團(JPMorgan Chase & Co.)則在替意法半導體提供策略諮詢。
愛立信CEO衛(wèi)翰思(Hans Vestberg)今天在聲明稿中表示:“拉姆赫就任時意法愛立信的情況十分艱困,他扮演相當關(guān)鍵的角色,讓公司得以更著重在策略執(zhí)行上、顯著降低損益兩平點,并為準備在今年上市的LTE modem產(chǎn)品帶來正面動能?!?

ST-Ericsson's CEO steps down
Peter Clarke
LONDON – Didier Lamouche, chief operating officer of STMicroelectronics NV and president and CEO of ST-Ericsson, has resigned to "pursue other opportunities" effective March 31.
Lamouche's departure comes after STMicroelectronics made a decision to exit from its mobile handset chip venture with Ericsson. That exit is expected to happen sometime during 2013. No replacement has been announced for Lamouche in his positions at either ST-Ericsson or STMicroelectronics.
Lamouche's COO role at STMicroelectronics was suspended when he took on the job of leading the loss-making ST-Ericsson in December 2011.
In the financial results for 4Q11, immediately after Lamouche became CEO, ST-Ericsson made a net loss of $231 million on sales revenue of $409 million. In the most recent quarter's results, those for 4Q12, ST-Ericsson made an adjusted loss of $133 million on sales revenue of $358 million.
"Over the past years Didier has brought his strong contribution to ST, initially as the Chief Operating Officer, and then taking the challenging task to lead ST-Ericsson," said Carlo Bozotti, president and CEO of ST, in a statement.
Hans Vestberg, chairman of the ST-Ericsson board of directors, said: "Didier Lamouche came into ST-Ericsson when the company was in a very challenging situation and has been instrumental in bringing the company to the point where it is more focused on strategy execution, has a much lower break-even point and positive momentum where the new LTE modem-based products are ready for market introduction this year."
Lamouche will remain in his current position until March 31, 2013.
