Synopsys ‘very pleased’ EC has approved proposed acquisition of Ansys

Synopsys (SNPS) issued the following statement in response to the European Commission approving its proposed acquisition of Ansys (ANSS) in Phase 1: “We are very pleased that the EC has approved our pro-competitive transaction in Phase 1. Today’s clearance decision follows the strong progress we have made toward gaining regulatory approval across various jurisdictions. Earlier this week, the UK CMA provisionally accepted our remedies toward a transaction approval in Phase 1. As previously communicated in our earnings call on December 4, 2024, the U.S. HSR Act waiting period has expired, and we are working cooperatively with the FTC to conclude its investigation and review of our proposed remedies. China SAMR has officially accepted our filing, and its review is in process. In addition, we continue to work with the regulators in other relevant jurisdictions to conclude their reviews. Customers continue to express their overwhelming support for the transaction. Together, Synopsys and Ansys can help drive innovation across industries by addressing the rapidly increasing customer need for system design solutions that provide a deeper integration of EDA and Simulation and Analysis software. We continue to expect the transaction to close in the first half of 2025.”
