The U.K. Competition and Markets Authority said Monday that it
has started a formal investigation into anticipated acquisition by
SK Hynix Inc of Intel Corporation's NAND and SSD business to see if
the deal would lead to a "substantial lessening of
competition".
The regulator said that it informed the parties of its plan on
May 7 and has set a deadline of July 5 for its Phase 1
decision.
U.S. chip maker Intel in October reached a deal to sell its
flash-memory manufacturing business to South Korean peer SK Hynix
for about $9 billion.
