Amazon.com acquisition of iRobot under investigation by U.K.’s CMA

U.K.’s Competition and Markets Authority is investigating the anticipated acquisition by Amazon.com (AMZN) of iRobot (IRBT). 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.Reference Link
