Merck KGaA to buy Versum in all-cash deal valued at 5.8 billion eurosMerck KGaA said Friday it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Versum Materials Inc. in a deal with an enterprise value of 5.8 billion euros ($6.6 billion).

The deal is expected to immediately boost Merck's per-share earnings and to close in the second half. Versum's board has terminated its merger agreement with Entegris Inc. on the grounds that the Merck offer is superior. The deal will be financed with cash on hand and debt via a facilities agreement with Bank of America Merrill Lynch, BNP Paribas Fortis and Deutsche Bank AG.
