The EC decision, issued on October 1, means that the European Union antitrust condition is satisfied.

Clearance in Brazil is expected in early November, while clearance in Mexico is also expected in the fourth quarter. In China, Dowlais and AA remain "highly confident" of obtaining clearance in late 2025 or early 2026. Based on this, completion of the deal is expected in the first quarter of 2026. AA also intends to add Roberto Fioroni, chief financial officer of Dowlais, Markus Bannert, chief executive officer of GKN Automotive, and Jean-Marc Durbuis, chief executive officer of GKN Powder Metallurgy, to the senior executive management team of the combined group. In January, Dowlais accepted a GBP1.16 billion takeover offer from AA, a producer of driveline products and systems. The deal was approved by shareholders in July. Read More
