The U.K. Competition and Markets Authority said Tuesday that it
is considering whether AstraZeneca PLC's acquisition of Alexion
Pharmaceuticals Inc. will lessen competition within the U.K., and
is inviting comments from interested parties ahead of a final
decision.
The regulator said interested parties have until June 3 to offer
their comments. It has also set a deadline of July 21 for a Phase 1
decision into the deal.
AstraZeneca on Dec. 12 agreed to buy Boston-based Alexion
Pharmaceuticals for $39 billion in cash and stock, a move that
would bolster the British drug company's footprint in immunology
and rare diseases.
