Merck KGaA said Friday it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Versum Materials Inc. in a deal with an enterprise value of 5.8 billion euros ($6.6 billion).

Versum's board has terminated its merger agreement with Entegris Inc. on the grounds that the Merck offer is superior. The deal will be financed with cash on hand and debt via a facilities agreement with Bank of America Merrill Lynch, BNP Paribas Fortis and Deutsche Bank AG. Merck is determined to maintain its strong investment grade rating, it said in a statement. Versum shares were slightly higher premarket, but have gained 38% in the past 12 months, while the S&P 500 has gained 8%.
