The U.K. Competition and Markets Authority said Wednesday that
it has started a formal investigation into Stryker Corp.'s
acquisition of Wright Medical Group N.V.
The regulator, which announced an initial probe into the deal
last month, said it is looking to see if the merger would lead to a
"substantial lessening of competition" within any U.K. market for
goods or services. It has set a deadline for July 15 to decide
whether to refer the deal for a Phase 2 investigation.
Last November, Dutch medical-devices maker Wright Medical agreed
to be acquired by medical-technology company Stryker for about $4
billion--or $30.75 a share--in cash.
