据EE Times报道,意法爱立信(ST-Ericsson)周一发表声明称,宣布公司首席执行官迪迪尔·拉姆赫(Didier Lamouche)将在本月底离职。意法爱立信是意法半导体和爱立信的移动芯片合资公司,目前仍处于亏损之中,该公司正筹划进行重组。在此同时,两大股东意法半导体集团和爱立信公司都想撤出这个不断亏损的公司。

意法爱立信表示,2011年年底担任公司首席执行官的拉姆赫将离开公司,寻找“其它发展机遇”。拉姆赫现年53岁,他的离职将于本月31正式生效。意法半导体在一份单独的声明中也表示,拉姆赫还将辞去他在公司的无线晶片合资事业总裁职务。
由于智能手机和平板电脑的新款晶片未能弥补旧款产品销售衰退的情形,意法爱立信从2009年成军以来便未曾赚过钱,拉姆赫11年临危受命,接下意法爱立信3年内第3任CEO,负责检讨公司策略。
拉姆赫的离职,正值意法半导体和爱立信试图在今年第三季度推出计划,退出这家合资公司之时。意法半导体此前已经表示,该公司计划退出合资公司意法爱立信。意法爱立信一直没有寻找到足够多的新客户,弥补大客户诺基亚业务衰退给公司业绩带来的影响。意法半导体预计,退出合资公司意法爱立信在今年将给公司带来最多5亿美元的支出。
持有意法爱立信另外50%股份的母公司爱立信此前已经表示,该公司并不希望接手意法爱立信的运营。市场分析师预计,目前拥有约5000名员工的意法爱立信,最终可能将完全关闭,或是把公司部分业务出售给英特尔、博通或三星电子等竞争对手。截至目前,意法半导体发言人对此报道未置可否。
母公司不表态,金融界觉得该卖给中国人
Pohjola银行(Pohjola Bank Oyj)驻赫尔辛基分析师劳哈拉(Hannu Rauhala)表示,拉姆赫“离职有助于为意法爱立信的未来走向铺路”,“陆资企业可能会对这个合资事业有兴趣,以利他们为自家手机或平板电脑打造自有晶片事业,买下意法爱立信将是最简单的方法。”
意法半导体驻巴黎发言人布瑞顿(Alexis Breton)除了公司新闻稿,婉拒进一步置评。
爱立信公司(Ericsson AB)发言人郝斯坦(KarinHallstan)表示:“爱立信仍在探寻一切选项,两家母公司都渴望觅得解决之道。”
北京时间晚间8时47分,意法半导体巴黎股价下挫1.5%,报6.08欧元;爱立信斯德哥尔摩股价上涨1.2%,报82.10克朗。
爱立信先前认列支出80亿克朗(12亿美元),以减记这个合资事业价值。去年12月20日,爱立信表示正在为其半数股权探寻一切选项,不排除让意法爱立信熄灯的可能性。摩根大通集团(JPMorgan Chase & Co.)则在替意法半导体提供策略谘询。
爱立信CEO卫翰思(Hans Vestberg)今天在声明稿中表示:“拉姆赫就任时意法爱立信的情况十分艰困,他扮演相当关键的角色,让公司得以更着重在策略执行上、显著降低损益两平点,并为准备在今年上市的LTE modem产品带来正面动能。”

ST-Ericsson's CEO steps down
Peter Clarke
LONDON – Didier Lamouche, chief operating officer of STMicroelectronics NV and president and CEO of ST-Ericsson, has resigned to "pursue other opportunities" effective March 31.
Lamouche's departure comes after STMicroelectronics made a decision to exit from its mobile handset chip venture with Ericsson. That exit is expected to happen sometime during 2013. No replacement has been announced for Lamouche in his positions at either ST-Ericsson or STMicroelectronics.
Lamouche's COO role at STMicroelectronics was suspended when he took on the job of leading the loss-making ST-Ericsson in December 2011.
In the financial results for 4Q11, immediately after Lamouche became CEO, ST-Ericsson made a net loss of $231 million on sales revenue of $409 million. In the most recent quarter's results, those for 4Q12, ST-Ericsson made an adjusted loss of $133 million on sales revenue of $358 million.
"Over the past years Didier has brought his strong contribution to ST, initially as the Chief Operating Officer, and then taking the challenging task to lead ST-Ericsson," said Carlo Bozotti, president and CEO of ST, in a statement.
Hans Vestberg, chairman of the ST-Ericsson board of directors, said: "Didier Lamouche came into ST-Ericsson when the company was in a very challenging situation and has been instrumental in bringing the company to the point where it is more focused on strategy execution, has a much lower break-even point and positive momentum where the new LTE modem-based products are ready for market introduction this year."
Lamouche will remain in his current position until March 31, 2013.
