코닝은 scp 합작을 정리하면서 삼성에게 투자자금 23억 달러를 받는다.
scp의 현금 보유 금액을 반씩 나눠서 삼성과 코닝이 가져가는 것으로 보인다.
삼성디스플레이는 매각대금, 유보이익을 가져가고 이중에서 23억 달러를 코닝 우선주를 사는데 쓴다.
코닝은 향후 20억 달러의 자사주매입을 할 것이다.
아시아의 다른 자회사와 경영 통합을 통해 시너지가 발생할 것이다.
중국에 예정된 설비투자규모를 축소시킬 가능성이 있다.
scp의 50% 지분을 매수하는데 쓰는 비용은 향후 10년간의 계약기간동안 현금흐름으로 충분히 회수할 수 있다.
결과적으로 코닝은 재무적으로 유리한 딜을 했다.
삼성은 전략적으로 보유할 가치가 적어진 scp를 청산했다.
홍석현에게 가는 배당도 없어질 것이다.
코닝과의 전략적 협력은 더 높은 수준으로 지속될 것이다.
OLED 기판 합작회사는 이와는 별도이다.
코닝 우선주의 배당은 4.25%이고, 7년 후에 전환할 수 있다.
향후 지분을 9%까지 올릴 수 있고, 경영에는 관여하지 않는다.
이 딜로 삼성이 코닝을 지배하게 되었다는 생각은 착각일 가능성이 높다.
삼성이 시게이트에게 하드디스크 사업부를 매각하고 대신 지분을 10%정도 보유하다가 몇 배를 남기고 최근 매도했다. 아주 유사한 상황이다.
삼성은 이미 몇년 전부터 단기간의 이익, 매출보다는 장기적인 전략, 비전에 부합하는 방향으로 사업을 조정하고 있고, 삼성의 코닝지분 매입은 그런 과정에서 코닝과의 협력을 확인하는 의미 정도에 불과하다.
상호 윈윈에 가깝다.
디스플레이, TV업계에서는 예전부터 합작과 청산이 반복되고 있다.
브라운관 유리 공장의 합작과 청산. 필립스와 LG. 삼성과 코닝(?)
LCD 패널 공장의 합작과 청산. 필립스와 LG, 삼성과 소니.
LCD 패널 공장의 지분 투자. 삼성과 샤프.

뉴스 공개 후 주가 상승이 14%에 달한다.
만약 위글을 올리고 매수를 했더라면 참 운이 좋았다고 했을 일이다. ㅈㅈ.
장 후 시간외 거래가격이 20% 이상 (25.8%라고 증권사보고서에 나옴) 상승했던 것에 비하면 약한 모습이다.
상대적으로 6%가 싸진 셈이라고 할 수는 있다.
이 거래와 관련해서 향후 2년 동안 코닝의 eps는 약 20% 상승하게 될 것이라고 한다.
자사주매입, 매입지분으로부터의 순이익 증가, 시너지 등을 모두 고려해서 그렇다고 한다.
그렇게 생각해도 상대적으로 6%가 싸진 셈이다.
이 거래까지 고려하면 지금은 코닝이 미국의 it관련주 중에서 가장 싼 편이다.
물론 올해 초 per 5나 6짜리들이 굴러다닐 때와 비교하면 많이 높다.

Corning and Samsung Strengthen Strategic Collaborations
Corning to acquire full ownership of SCP, enabling significant synergies
Corning’s board authorizes additional $2 billion share repurchase program
Actions expected to be immediately accretive on fully diluted basis for Corning
CORNING, N.Y., October 22, 2013 – Corning Incorporated (NYSE: GLW) announced today that it is entering into a series of strategic and financial agreements with Samsung Display Co., Ltd., intended to strengthen product and technology collaborations between the two companies. These agreements will allow Corning to extend its leadership in specialty glass and drive earnings growth. Corning expects the transactions to close in the first quarter of 2014.
The series of transactions, subject to closing conditions being met, will result in:
- Corning obtaining full ownership of Samsung Corning Precision Materials Co., Ltd. (SCP), an unconsolidated equity venture with Samsung Display that manufactures LCD glass in Korea. Samsung Display currently owns 43% of SCP.
- After redemption of their interest in SCP, Samsung Display’s investment in new convertible preferred shares of Corning with an aggregate face amount of $1.9 billion.
- Corning’s acquisition of the other shareholders’ minority interests in SCP for an expected proportional cash payment.
- Samsung Display’s additional $400 million investment in Corning by subscribing to new convertible preferred shares.
- Using Corning’s current share count, Samsung Display’s combined investment in Corning would result in approximately 7.4% ownership on an as-converted basis.
- A new long-term LCD display glass supply agreement between Corning and Samsung Display through 2023.
- A strengthening of the two companies’ technology collaborations on strategic product development and commercialization initiatives.
In addition, Corning’s board of directors has authorized an additional $2 billion of share repurchases through Dec. 31, 2015, dependent upon the transaction closing.
“We are excited to enter this new era of collaboration in our 40-year equity relationship with Samsung, one of the world leaders in consumer electronics,” Wendell P. Weeks, chairman, chief executive officer and president, said. “The agreements provide important financial and strategic benefits to both Corning and Samsung.”
“Corning and its shareholders will realize attractive financial returns as the transactions produce immediate earnings accretion through the addition of the remainder of SCP, substantial cost synergies and significant incremental free cash flow. Our new long-term supply agreement will provide Corning steady demand in the global LCD market. By leveraging SCP’s fusion-based manufacturing assets, we will further extend our leadership in advanced glass. This affords us greater flexibility in servicing customers, managing capacity, and minimizing capital spending as we expand production of Corning® Gorilla® Glass and pursue new specialty glass applications,” he added.
“We are pleased to have an opportunity to strengthen the strategic ties between our two companies,” Kinam Kim, president and chief executive officer of Samsung Display, said. “We look forward to concentrating our efforts and combining our expertise in product development with Corning’s renowned leadership in glass technologies to develop new market opportunities in consumer products and other industries.”
Corning Expects to Realize Immediate and Long-Term Financial Benefits“Shareholders will benefit from access to $1.2 billion which represents Corning’s share of existing cash on SCP’s balance sheet, as well as the cumulative incremental free cash flow going forward, which could total $2 billion over the next four years,” Weeks said. The structure of the transaction will also immediately increase Corning’s domestic cash balances.
He added, “Synergies from integrating our worldwide fusion glass assets should approach $100 million pretax in 2015 and continue to grow thereafter. We believe that accretion to Corning’s core earnings per share, on a fully diluted basis of approximately 20% in 2014 and 2015, can be generated from the combination of profits from the soon-to-be acquired 50% of SCP; the resulting manufacturing synergies; and the impact of the additional share repurchase program. The impact of the additional share repurchase program should offset the potential dilution of shares embedded in the convertible preferred security. The transaction should add approximately $2 billion in annual sales; $350 million in incremental profit before special items; and approximately $500 million in additional cash flow to Corning.”
Corning also expects to realize increased flexibility in glass-melting capabilities, which should bring added capital savings. Furthermore, the company will re-evaluate the need for major capital expenditures for additional fusion glass manufacturing assets.
The new convertible preferred shares will have an annual 4.25% coupon and are convertible into common shares based on a price of $20 per common share. The preferred shares are not convertible for seven years, subject to certain exceptions, and contain only limited voting rights until conversion. Effective today, Corning and Samsung have entered into a standstill agreement that limits Samsung’s activities with respect to Corning’s shares and governance. Effective upon closing, a shareholder agreement between Corning and Samsung will limit Samsung’s ownership to no more than 9% of Corning’s common shares on an as-converted basis. The transaction contains a re-pricing mechanism that will account for changes in SCP’s glass prices, volume and Japanese yen to U.S. dollar exchange.
Corning has LCD glass manufacturing operations in the United States, Japan, Taiwan and China. Samsung Corning Precision Materials has LCD glass manufacturing facilities in Korea. Following completion of the transaction, the SCP organization will be integrated into Corning’s Display Technologies segment. Corning will be able to service all specialty glass customers in all regions directly, utilizing its manufacturing facilities throughout Asia. U.S. Corsam Technologies LLC, and Samsung Corning Advanced Glass LLC, both equity affiliates established between Corning and Samsung Display, will continue under their current agreements.
