以下是英文新聞
(Reuters) - U.S. electric component distributor Avnet Inc (AVT.N) agreed to buy British mini-computer maker Premier Farnell Plc (PFL.L) for 691 million pounds ($911 million) in cash, trumping an earlier bid from Switzerland's Daetwyler Holding AG (DAE.S).
The 185 pence-per-share offer represents a premium of 12.5 percent to Premier Farnell stock's closing price on Wednesday, and 12 percent higher than the Daetwyler offer.
Shares of Premier Farnell rose as much as 17.3 percent to 193 pence in morning trade, their highest since June 2015.
The rise in the stock price above the Avnet offer indicates that some investors are expecting a higher bid, which could still come as a counter from Daetwyler.
Daetwyler had agreed to pay about 615 million pounds in cash for Premier Farnell. A spokeswoman for Daetwyler declined to comment on Thursday.
Including debt, Avnet's offer is worth 868 million pounds, while Daetwyler's was for about 792 million pounds.
Premier Farnell said separately that its board intends to unanimously recommend Avnet's higher offer and drop its recommendation for Daetwyler's bid.
Avnet, which distributes computer products and systems, said the deal represents a strong strategic fit as both companies share similar strategic values and have complementary product range, distribution channels and geographic footprint.
Premier Farnell's Raspberry Pi devices are mini, low-cost computers created to help millions of people get online and learn to code.
Before Daetwyler made its offer on June 14, Premier Farnell shares had fallen about 30 percent since September, when the company cut its dividend and sold a non-core unit amid falling profit and slower sales growth in its key UK and North America markets.
Bank of America Merrill Lynch was financial adviser to Avnet, while Lazard & Co Ltd advised Premier Farnell.
