MADISON, Wis. — The European Commission Friday (June 9) threw down a gauntlet by officially opening an in-depth investigation into the proposed acquisition of NXP by Qualcomm.
The move is a monkey wrench in the two chip companies’ merger, adding at least four months to the resolution process. The Commission has “until 17 October 2017, to take a decision” on this matter, according the EC.
