LSE gets US approval for Refinitiv deal

Mon, 16th Mar 2020 14:30

(Sharecast News) - The London Stock Exchange has received US regulatory approval for its $27bn acquisition of analytics company Refinitiv.
The company said on Monday that the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States had determined "that there are no unresolved national security concerns" with respect to the deal.

The LSE noted the European Commission's statement last Friday encouraging the delay of merger filings amid the Covid-19 outbreak and said it was continuing "to engage constructively" with the EC and other relevant regulators and stakeholders to ensure that all filings and approvals proceed as efficiently as possible.

"We remain committed to closing the transaction during the second half of 2020," it said.
