BRUSSELS, Dec 23 (Reuters) - EU antitrust regulators are
set to approve U.S. chip design software company Synopsys'
SNPS.O $35 billion acquisition of the chip design software
company Ansys ANSS.O based on the former's pledge to sell two
assets, people with direct knowledge of the matter said on
Monday.
Synopsys this month offered to sell its optical design tool
maker Optical Solutions Group to design and emulation company
Keysight Technologies and also Ansys PowerArtist to address EU
competition concerns, other people have told Reuters.
