Exclusive: EU antitrust regulators to okay Siemens Healthineers’ $16.4 billion Varian buy – sources By Reuters

BRUSSELS/MUNICH (Reuters) – EU antitrust regulators are set to grant conditional clearance to German health group Siemens Healthineers’ $16.4-billion bid for U.S. peer Varian Medical Systems Inc (NYSE:VAR), three people familiar with the matter said.

The EU green light will come after Siemens Healthineers last month offered concessions to address competition concerns about interoperability, the sources said. Such a measure enables computer systems and software to work with each other.
