[edit] History

On 8 February 2006 Borland announced that it would seek a buyer for its IDE division and database products.^[1] During the spin-off negotiations, these divisions ("developer tools group") internally reorganized into a division called CodeGear.^[2] Eventually, five parties bid for the group.^[3] However, no bidder offered Borland "numbers that appropriately reflected the value we think is in the business," according to a conference call with Borland CEO Tod Nielsen.^[4]

Borland's 2006 annual report showed that its CodeGear IDE business had sales of $75.7 million in 2006, which accounted for 25 percent of Borland's total revenue.^[5]

On 7 May 2008, Borland and Embarcadero Technologies announced that Embarcadero had "signed a definitive asset purchase agreement to purchase CodeGear."^[6] The acquisition, for approximately $24.5 million, closed on 30 June 2008.^[7]
