Anyone know why the Dialog from back in September deal fell through?

Not sure if we're able to give specifics, but maybe if the overall offers weren't too different in overall value Microchip offered more cash over stock? The only previous story I read about this is here, which isn't too informative http://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/01/15/microchip_atmel/

I heard Dialog's stock price slipped at an inopportune time.
