Nvidia faces in-depth EU probe into planned Arm acquisition

  • Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) is facing an in-depth European Union probe into its planned purchase of Arm (ARMHF).
  • The EU has set a March 15 deadline for ruling on the transaction, according to an EU filing on its website.
  • "The Commission is concerned that the merged entity would have the ability and incentive to restrict access by Nvidia 's rivals to Arm's technology and that the proposed transaction could lead to higher prices, less choice and reduced innovation in the semiconductor industry," according to the statement.
  • Nvidia last month filed officially with the European Commission for its planned $54B acquisition of ARM Holdings (ARMHF) from SoftBank (OTCPK:SFTBY).
  • "The Commission has concerns that the merged entity would have the ability to restrict or degrade access to Arm's technology by providers of processor products Nvidia may compete with."
  • Earlier this month, Nvidia said it would make concessions to allay the EU's concerns in the hope that such moves would help finalize the acquisition, which was first announced in September 2020.
