Nordic Semiconductor has ‘no knowledge’ of any STMicro interest

MILAN/OSLO: Nordic Semiconductor’s chief financial officer said the Oslo-listed firm had “no knowledge” of any takeover interest from Franco-Italian chipmaker STMicroelectronics after a report on Thursday in Italian newspaper MF.

Asked by Reuters about any STMicroelectronics interest and whether he could confirm or deny that the companies had been in talks, as reported by MF, Nordic’s CFO Paal Elstad said he had no knowledge of it.

“We have no knowledge of this, so we have no comment,” Paal Elstad said in a text message. “This is unknown to us.”
