SAN JOSE, Calif., Nov. 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- LogicVision, Inc. LGVN, a leading provider of embedded test and diagnostic solutions for semiconductors, today announced that it has completed its acquisition of SiVerion, Inc., an Arizona-based provider of parametric yield analysis solutions.

As previously announced, LogicVision issued approximately two million shares of its common stock and $2 million in cash at closing to SiVerion's stockholders. In addition, LogicVision agreed to make a contingent future payment of up to $2 million if the per share price of LogicVision common stock is less than $3.00 on the two-year anniversary of the closing date.

The acquisition of SiVerion significantly broadens LogicVision's yield enhancement solutions. The combined technologies provide a powerful infrastructure for automated yield learning, which LogicVision expects will result in accelerated time-to-yield for advanced designs and processes.
