RNS Number : 1363Y  Competition and Markets Authority  12 January 2022

Start of CMA Merger Investigation: anticipated acquisition by Microsoft
Corporation of Nuance Communications Inc.

 

The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) is considering whether it is or
may be the case that this transaction has resulted in the creation of a
relevant merger situation under the merger provisions of the Enterprise Act
2002 and, if so, whether the creation of that situation may be expected to
result in a substantial lessening of competition within any market or markets
in the United Kingdom for goods or services.

 

The CMA announced the launch of its merger inquiry by notice to the Parties on
12 January 2022 and has a deadline of 9 March 2022 for its phase 1 decision.
