Start of CMA Merger Investigation: Anticipated acquisition by Bloomberg L.P. of Broadway Technology, LLC

The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) is considering whether it is or may be the case that this transaction, if carried into effect, will result in the creation of a relevant merger situation under the merger provisions of the Enterprise Act 2002 and, if so, whether the creation of that situation may be expected to result in a substantial lessening of competition within any market or markets in the United Kingdom for goods or services.

The CMA announced the launch of its merger inquiry by notice to the merger parties on 19 July 2023 and has a deadline of 14 September 2023 for its phase 1 decision.

Invitation to comment: closes 2 August 2023

To assist it with this assessment, the CMA invites comments on the transaction from any interested party.
