Lenovo Acquires IBM PC business

By Stanford Center for Internet and Society on

Reports indicate that "IBM will hold an 18.9 percent stake in Lenovo."
So should the lead be: "IBM acquire Lenovo"?

This strikes me as an amazing deal for IBM--IBM gives Lenovo an asset whose value has been diminishing, and acquires in return a nearly 20% stake in the leading computer company in the world's largest future market for computers.

But the details will be in the acquisition documents, which presumably will be public soon (because IBM is a public company).
