New York: The world's largest chip-maker, Intel, announced the completion of its $7.68 billion acquisition of security software company McAfee.
"... The acquisition of McAfee Inc is complete," the company said in a statement.
Under the terms of the agreement, McAfee would become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Intel and would continue to develop and sell security products and services under its own brand.
Both the companies have a good presence in India.
In August last year, Intel said it will acquire McAfee in an all-cash deal worth $7.68 billion that will bolster the chip-maker's computing portfolio, especially in terms of wireless mobility offerings.
As a wholly-owned subsidiary of Intel, McAfee will be under Intel's Software and Services Group. The group is managed by Intel Senior Vice-President and General Manager Renee James.
