The U.K. Competition and Markets Authority said Monday that it
has cleared Intel Corp.'s proposed sale of its flash-memory
manufacturing business to South Korea's SK Hynix Inc.
The antitrust watchdog said it has decided it won't refer the
deal to an in-depth phase 2 probe based on the information
currently available to it. The regulator in April said it was
considering whether the transaction might hurt competition in the
U.K. and formally began a phase 1 investigation last month.
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.
