Apple to buy fingerprint sensor maker AuthenTec

Fri Jul 27, 2012 1:33pm EDT

(Reuters) - Apple Inc (AAPL.O) will buy fingerprint sensor technology developer AuthenTec Inc (AUTH.O) for about $356 million, in a deal that could put its iPhone at the center of the emerging mobile payments market.

Apple is paying $8 per share, a 58 percent premium, for Melbourne, Florida-based AuthenTec, which counts Korean mobile device maker Samsung Electronics Co Ltd (005930.KS) among its big customers.
