结语

    虽然我们创办Opsware的初衷从来都不是为了出售公司，收购却最终成为对股东和雇员最有利的结果。我们的公司显然是一个很有价值的收购目标，但最终的惊人溢价也来自于公司对战略业务开发的持续投资和严格执行的交易过程。当然，你首先得知道，出路在什么地方 。

    In summary

    Although we never built Opsware with the intent of selling it, acquisition ultimately turned out to be the best outcome for our shareholders and our employees. While the company was clearly an attractive target, the significant premium we achieved in the sale was also the result of the company's ongoing investment in strategic business development and a tightly executed deal process. And in knowing where the exits were.
