$50 million

Price that solution provider Ciber will accept for its North America and India businesses after it entered into a "stalking horse" agreement with Capgemini after Ciber filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.

Paris-based Capgemini -- No. 6 on the CRN Solution Provider 500 -- said the purchase of the businesses, valued at $275 million, would increase the footprint of its U.S. technology and engineering services business and reinforce Capgemini's ability to deliver locally to clients across key North American markets. The sale process is subject to higher and better offers, according to the companies, and has to be approved by the bankruptcy court.
