阿克苏诺贝尔（AKZO.AS）与艾仕得（AXTA.N）正接近获得美国和欧盟对其250亿美元并购案的批准，该公司首席执行官格雷格·普-吉约姆周三表示，监管机构要求的唯一补救措施是出售阿克苏诺贝尔的欧洲汽车修补漆业务和艾仕得的美国木器涂料业务。
AkzoNobel (AKZO.AS) and Axalta are closing in on US and EU approvals for their $25 billion merger, with the sales of Akzo's European vehicle refinishing business and Axalta's (AXTA.N) US wood finishes business being the only remedies regulators have asked for, the Dutch paint maker's CEO said on Wednesday.
普-吉约姆告诉路透社，这些让步旨在争取美国联邦贸易委员会的批准和欧盟监管机构的第一阶段许可，使交易有望于2027年初完成，这与早前的宣布一致。
Those concessions are aimed at securing approval from the US Federal Trade Commission and Phase 1 clearance from European regulators, setting the deal up for closing in early 2027, in line with previous announcements, Greg Poux-Guillaume told Reuters.
他补充说：“没有任何一家监管机构要求我们在补救措施方面做任何其他事情。”
"There's no regulator anywhere that has asked us to do anything else in terms of remedies," he added.
路透社10月曾援引知情人士报道，两家公司有望凭借出售阿克苏诺贝尔汽车修补漆业务的承诺获得欧盟反垄断批准。欧盟委员会周五的一份备案显示，为获得批准已提出补救措施，但未披露细节。
Reuters had reported in October, citing people familiar with the matter, that the companies were set to win EU antitrust approval with a pledge to sell Akzo's vehicle refinish business. A European Commission filing on Friday showed remedies had been offered to secure the approval, without disclosing the details.
艾仕得周二在美国的一份监管备案中披露了出售木器涂料部门的计划。
Axalta revealed the planned sale of the wood coatings unit in a US regulatory filing on Tuesday.
杰富瑞分析师在一份报告中表示，欧盟反垄断决定预计将在11月做出。
The EU antitrust decision is expected in November, Jefferies analysts said in a note.
阿克苏诺贝尔在5月拒绝了日本涂料和宣伟125亿欧元的现金收购要约后，继续推进与艾仕得的全股票合并，阿克苏诺贝尔称该要约低估了其业务价值，且会将其拆分给两个竞购方。
Akzo has pressed ahead with its all-stock merger with Axalta after rejecting a €12.5 billion cash bid from Nippon Paint and Sherwin-Williams in May, a bid it said undervalued the business and would have split it between two suitors.
