- ko_pivot 2y agoI think it’s more of an FTC issue. SEC governs public markets not M&A anti-trust.
- kayo_20211030 2y agoI don't think the SEC is a barrier. It's more likely to be the FTC. But, we'll have to see what's its board's constitution is after November. A formal proposal - they're none now - will probably come after that when the composition of the board is known. However, no matter who's in the chair at the FTC, a merger might still be scotched on national security grounds.
