Lenovo Group (0992.HK) refutes rumored acquisition of BlackBerry

BEIJING, Mar 12, 2013 (Xinhua via COMTEX) -- China's biggest PC maker Lenovo Group (00992.HK; LNVGY.PK) on Tuesday denied market rumors that the PC giant would take over BlackBerry (BBRY.Nasdaq).

A media report went earlier that the Lenovo Group might acquire a Canadian smart phone maker, quoting Yang Yuanqing, CEO of the PC giant.

Market reckoned the Canadian smart phone marker was the BlackBerry, pushing up share price of BlackBerry by 14.09 percent on Monday.



Lenovo Group's public relations official said that the company would not disclose such information ahead of time if it did intend to conduct any takeover action, which would only drive up share price of the target company and increase Lenovo's acquisition cost accordingly.
