The European Union’s antitrust review agency is set to approve the $43 billion deal between state-owned ChemChina and Swiss agrichemicals firm Syngenta, Reuters reported Thursday, citing “two people familiar with the matter.”
Despite regulatory uncertainty surrounding a record merger agreement with German pharmaceuticals company Bayer AG, St. Louis-based seed firm Monsanto Co. has reported a profitable fiscal first quarter to start 2017.
A $43 billion deal that is the largest-ever foreign takeover by a Chinese company may be facing unexpected money problems, according to recent news reports.
European Union regulators announced Monday that they are restarting their investigation into the $130 billion Dow Chemical merger with DuPont.
The executive arm of the European Union announced Friday that it has set an Oct. 28 deadline to rule on China National Chemical Corporation’s takeover of Syngenta AG.
Monsanto Co reportedly is developing plans to prevent a new variety of biotech U.S. soybeans from entering European markets where they are not approved.
