| 06:44 EDT | | GOOG | Google relied on questionable exemption in Waze deal, NY Times says
Google decided not to provide the U.S. government with notice of its acquisition of Israeli mapping company Waze, The New York Times reported yesterday. The notice would have triggered a waiting period during which the government could review any antitrust issues created by the deal. Google relied on an exemption that waives the notice if a foreign company being acquired has sales and assets in the United States of less than $60.9M, the newspaper added. However, Waze's assets in the U.S. probably exceed that level, the Times stated. Reference Link |
