Cisco Provides Update on Acacia Acquisition

California: Cisco (NASDAQ: CSCO) today announced that it is seeking confirmation from the Delaware Court of Chancery that it has met all conditions for closing of its acquisition of Acacia Communications (NASDAQ: ACIA), including approval of China’s State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR). Cisco is also seeking a court mandate that the agreement may not be terminated until the court resolves these matters, and an order from the Court requiring Acacia to close the transaction.
