The Chinese authority over the weekend approved Google’s $12.5 billion Motorola Mobility acquisition and today Motorola Mobility filed an 8-K form that notes that it will close in the next two days. Going back to the story, after suspending the hearings by EU regulators early last December to seek more information about Google’s acquisition of Motorola Mobility, the commission set February 13 as a deadline for the mulling the deal – and both European Commission as well as U.S. Department of Justice approved Google’s proposed acquisition of Motorola Mobility.
Motorola’s statement today noted that the approval from the Anti-Monopoly Bureau of the Ministry of Commerce of China came on May 19, 2012. ”As the transaction has now received all required regulatory approvals, the companies are moving to close the transaction within two business days,” it notes. Although to note here is that Motorola’s statement to the market today does not cover restructuring.
