Tencent To Acquire Nexon? Time and Price Lining Up for a Final Deal?

• Tencent has been interested in acquiring Nexon for more than six years. However, the timing and price were not right for such a deal to take place in the past.

• The higher probability scenario is for Kim's family members to sell when the timing and price is right. This time around, a $15 billion could be the right price.

• Late founder Kim's family members own a 44.4% stake in Nexon through NXC Corp and its affiliate NXMB BV. Kim's wife and daughters own a 67.6% stake in NXC Corp.
