How to read it
It shows the first of these that holds, in this order, which is also the order the column sorts in:
- An approval failed
- China SAMR failed.
- In-depth review or challenge
- A second request, a phase 2 review or a challenge: HSR second request.
- Waiting period running
- HSR wait ends Oct 16.
- Waiting period ended, no result filed
- HSR wait ended Oct 2, no result.
- Pending, with a stage
- EU phase 1 review.
- Pending, no stage given
- 2 pending, no stage given.
- Only the vote or tender left
- Cleared; the vote is left.
- Approvals cleared
- Approvals cleared, Cleared or not required, or None required.
A dash means the deal has no approval published yet. The Regulatory status filter picks deals by these statuses.
Point at the status, or focus it, for the regulatory card. It starts with a one-line summary.
Then come the approvals, each with its regulator, its stage in words and dots, and its date. A line says what the stage is when its name doesn't, and the approval's filing opens its quote.
Last come the vote, the tender, the outside date and how far it can move, and a link to the deal page.
- China SAMR failed
