Zebra Technologies Corp. in Lincolnshire said it completed its acquisition of Xplore Technologies Corp., a developer of semi-, fully- and ultra-rugged tablets, 2-in-1 laptops and a range of performance matched accessories.

The tender offer for all outstanding shares of common stock of Austin, Texas-based Xplore at a price of $6 per share.

The buyout will be accomplished through a public tender offer. The total cost (including assumed indebtedness), is about $90 million.

Xplore's offerings complement Zebra's industry-leading enterprise mobile computing, data capture, and printing portfolios, which will now serve a wider range of enterprise customers and accelerate growth, Zebra officials said.
