Well we don’t see that coming, did we? Okay! Redmond giant Microsoft has now acquired Linkedin for $26.2 Billion. Here are the basics:

  • Total transaction value at $26.2 billion
  • $196 per share — almost 30% greater than market value
  • Jeff Weiner will still be the CEO of LinkedIn and will directly report to Microsoft’s, Satya Nadella.

Together we can accelerate the growth of LinkedIn, as well as Microsoft Office 365 and Dynamics as we seek to empower every person and organization on the planet.

CEO Microsoft Satya Nadella.
