The U.K.’s Competition and Markets Authority said the deal wouldn't substantially reduce competition in the supply of server hardware components.
Broadcom’s planned takeover of VMware has been cleared by British regulators, leaving approval in China as the last major obstacle to the deal, originally valued at $61 billion.
While the Federal Trade Commission hasn’t publicly commented on the deal, Broadcom said in a statement that the mandated premerger waiting periods had expired and that there was no legal impediment to closing under U.S. regulations.
