EU antitrust regulators have given the green light to the London Stock Exchange's $27 billion acquisition of data company Refinitiv, subject to a number of conditions including the sale of its Borsa Italiana operations.
To address them, the LSE Group has agreed to divest its 99.9% stake in the Borsa Italiana group and to continue offering its global over-the-counter interest rate derivative clearing services performed by LCH Swapclear on an open access basis.
