Nov. 14, 2016—Samsung Electronics and Harman International Industries, a leader in connected car solutions, announced that they have entered into a definitive agreement under which Samsung will acquire Harman for $112 per share in cash or total equity value of approximately $8 billion.

The transaction will give Samsung a significant presence in connected technologies. More than 30 million vehicles are currently equipped with Harman’s connected car and audio systems.
