Last week, TechCrunch reported that Google was in talks to buy display advertising company Admeld for $400 million. Now, it looks like the deal has been closed. Google announced Monday that it had signed a deal to officially acquire Admeld.

If the deal passes regulatory scrutiny, it will be Googles sixth-largest purchase to date.

By combining Admelds services, expertise, and technology with Googles offerings, were investing in what we hope will be an improved era of flexible ad management tools for major publishers. Mohan added that after the acquisition, Admeld will continue to support other ad networks, demand side platforms, exchanges and ad servers, to yield the best possible results for publishers.
