The U.K. Competition and Markets Authority said Friday that it
has decided it won't refer Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc.'s planned
$17.4 billion acquisition of pharmaceutical-testing company PPD
Inc. to a phase 2 investigation.
The regulator had announced a probe into the deal in October, to
see if it would lead to a lessening of competition.
