After a bench trial in November/December 2019, Judge Kelly suggested that he was leaning toward letting the companies merge, and ruled accordingly in January 2020. Against FTC objections, the companies also resolved alleged issues for one area with a precedent-setting divestiture.
Perox圜hem and Evonik argued that they focus on different customers, products and geographic areas, saying that Evonik’s business largely focuses on standard-grade peroxide and Perox圜hem focuses on specialty grades.

In August 2019, following a full investigation, the FTC sued in the US District Court for the District of Columbia for a preliminary injunction to block the merger. Evonik Industries, a publicly traded global chemicals supplier based in Germany, agreed to buy Philadelphia-based Perox圜hem, a global chemicals supplier, from its private equity owner, One Equity Partners, for $625 million. In a rare loss for a US Federal Trade Commission merger challenge, Judge Timothy J Kelly allowed the tie-up of two hydrogen peroxide producers. The approval with restrictions negotiated with the parties – which allowed the closing of the transaction, even before the completion of all the remedies – was obtained in Brazil in February 2019.

Disney/Foxĭisney’s acquisition of Fox created a single, worldwide entertainment company and enabled Disney to broaden its presence in some highly concentrated and challenging markets. Brazil was the first jurisdiction where the deal was cleared, as CADE approved it without conditions after scrutinising product overlaps in the pipeline, different stages of treatment and the potential conglomerate power (given the complementary portfolios for the treatment of multiple myeloma). The deal was subject to an extensive investigation by the FTC and received a second request. To obtain clearance from the FTC for the deal, they sold arthritis drug Otezla to Amgen for $13.4 billion, likely the largest-ever FTC divestiture.
