The U.K. Competition and Markets Authority said Monday that it
is investigating whether APi Group Corp.'s planned $3.1 billion
acquisition of Chubb Ltd. will lead to a "substantial lessening of
competition" within its markets.
The regulator has invited comments from interested parties on
the deal ahead of a further investigation. It has set a deadline
for comments by Nov. 1, and a deadline of Dec. 13 for its phase 1
decision.
APi--a provider of safety, specialty and industrial
services--said on July 27 that it had agreed to buy Carrier Global
Corp.'s Chubb Fire & Security business.
