Deal News | Nov 26, 2024 | EIN
The Competition and Consumer Commission of Singapore (CCCS) is inviting public feedback on the proposed acquisition of ZT Group International by Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (AMD). The application, accepted on 22 November, is being scrutinized for potential violations of Singapore's Competition Act, specifically section 54, which addresses mergers that could substantially lessen competition. While AMD asserts there is no direct competition between itself and ZT Group in Singapore, they acknowledge a supplier-customer dynamic, as AMD's semiconductor products are utilized in servers created by ZT and its rivals. The CCCS aims to gather public perspectives during the consultation period from 26 November to 10 December, focusing on the acquisition's potential impact on competitive dynamics, supply chain, and market control.
