| May 9, 2013 | | 14:55 EDT |  | WDC | FTC approves modified final order on Western Digital purchase
The Federal Trade Commission approved and issued a modified final decision and order settling charges that Western Digital’s (WDC) proposed acquisition of rival Hitachi Global Technologies would have been anticompetitive in the market for hard disk drives used in desktop PCs. The proposed order settling the FTC’s charges, first announced on March 5, 2012, required Western Digital to sell assets used to manufacture and sell desktop computer hard disk drives to Toshiba (TOSBF) to resolve the agency’s competition concerns. The FTC has approved several modifications to the proposed order to incorporate adjustments that Western Digital and Toshiba Corporation, the buyer of the divested assets, made in the transaction documents. The final order provides for the additional time Western Digital required to complete the divestiture in order to obtain the necessary approvals from other relevant competition authorities and also includes revised production and asset transfer schedules, and extended time in which Western Digital will have access to certain employees. The FTC has also approved changes to the Divestiture Agreement and Contract Manufacturing Agreement to reflect the changes to the remedial agreements made by Western Digital and Toshiba Corporation. | | | 09:20 EDT |  | WDC | Western Digital volatility low into Chanos cautious mention
