US Federal Trade Panel wraps up review of Sun Pharms's Ranbaxy acquisition

Sun Pharmaceutical has moved closer to wrapping up its proposed acquisition of Ranbaxy Laboratories with the US Federal Trade Commission completing its review.

MUMBAI: Sun Pharmaceutical has moved closer to wrapping up its proposed acquisition of Ranbaxy Laboratories with the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) completing its review of the $4-billion deal. The FTC has granted early termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Anti-trust Improvements Act of 1976, one of the conditions for closing the Ranbaxy acquisition.

"Sun Pharmaceutical and Ranbaxy also announced that the FTC accepted a proposed consent agreement pursuant to which, Sun and Ranbaxy have agreed to divest Ranbaxy's interests in generic minocycline tablets and capsules to an external third party," Sun said in a statement. "Sun Pharmaceutical and Ranbaxy are working closely towards completion of the transaction and will comply with the conditions laid down in the FTC consent agreement within the specified time."
