=== Buyout === On September 15, 2006, Freescale agreed to accept a [[buyout]] for the sum of $17.6 billion ($40 per share) by a consortium led by the [[Blackstone Group]]. Share prices of $13 at the July 2004 IPO had risen to $39.35 in afterhours trading that Friday when the news, rumored that week, broke. A special shareholders meeting on November 13, 2006, voted to accept the buyout offer. The purchase, which closed on December 1, 2006, is reportedly the largest private buyout of a technology company and one of the ten largest buyouts of all time.<ref>[http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/09/15/freescale_accepts_takeover_offer/ Freescale sells itself for $17.6bn cash β or more] 15th September 2006</ref><ref>[http://www.thestreet.com/_googlen/newsanalysis/techsemis/10313043.html Freescale Took Scenic Buyout Route] October 4, 2006</ref><ref>[http://www.microcontroller.com/news/freescale_buyout.asp Freescale Semiconductor Bought Out by Blackstone for $17.6Billion] September 25, 2006</ref><ref>[https://archive.today/20120713221803/http://phx.corporate-ir.net/phoenix.zhtml?c=196520&p=irol-newsArticle&ID=937966 Consortium of Private Equity Firms Completes Acquisition of Freescale Semiconductor] December 1, 2006</ref>
