#11: Broadcom’s VMware Acquisition Fast-Track Stalls
Broadcom in October set out to fast-track its behemoth $61 billion acquisition of VMware. You flocked to that story we posted on Oct. 17.
Broadcom, according to Reuters sources, wanted the European Union to approve it quickly, noting that cloud giants AWS, Microsoft and Google are all competitors, so there would be no competitive imbalance.
Of course, much has happened with this proposed acquisition since then, including the EU saying it would go through its standard four-month, full scale investigation of the transaction.
Since that happened just last week, don’t expect to see this go final until at least next spring.
