本周，外界纷纷传言，Facebook有意收购挪威浏览器开发公司Opera，甚至有人认为，该笔收购将成为这家社交网络的“第二笔价值10亿美元的收购”。实际上，它只是第一笔而已。

    周三，Facebook股价以每股28.19美元收盘，致使其对在线照片共享服务商Instagram的收购价值下降到9.48亿美元。收购交易计划包括3亿美元现金和价值约3亿美元的股票。四月份，Facebook宣布以10亿美元价格收购Instagram，因此当时Facebook股票每股折价应该是30.43美元。

    按照Facebook每股38美元的上市价格，Instagram的收购价值超过11.7亿美元。

    当然，Facebook与Instagram的联姻最终能否顺利完成目前并没有任何保证，因为美国监管部门仍在调查可能存在的反垄断问题。实际上，Facebook也将完成交易的预定日期从“2012年第二季度”修改为模棱两可的“2012年”。

    若交易最终流产，Facebook将不得不向这家手机照片共享应用支付2亿美元费用。

    Lots of talk this week about how Facebook (FB) is interested in acquiring Norwegian browser developer Opera, with some writing about how it would be the social network's "second $1 billion acquisition." Actually, it would be the first.

    Facebook's planned purchase of Instagram is now valued at $948 million, based on Facebook's closing price on Wednesday of $28.19 per share. The deal included a $300 million cash payment, plus approximately $300 million in stock. It was announced in April as a $1 billion deal, which would have valued Facebook shares at $30.43.

    At the $38 per share IPO price, the Instagram deal was valued at more than $1.17 billion.

    Of course, there remains no guarantee that the Facebook-Instagram marriage will even be consummated, as federal regulators continue to explore possible anti-trust ramifications. In fact, Facebook changed the expected closing date from "in the second quarter of 2012" to the vaguer "2012."

    If the deal gets scrapped, Facebook would owe the mobile photo-sharing app a $200 million fee.
