What happened
The tribunal of Brazil’s Conselho Administrativo de Defesa Econômica (CADE) approved the proposed combination of Subsea 7 S.A. and Saipem to create Saipem7. This approval is subject to the companies complying with commitments set out in a Merger Control Agreement. To address competition concerns, Subsea 7 and Saipem committed to divesting Seven Borealis.
