Nokia wins US approval to buy Alcatel

The transaction announced in April remains subject to approval by Nokia shareholders

Oslo: The US Department of Justice has given a green light to Nokia's deal to buy French rival Alcatel-Lucent, the two companies said on Wednesday. "Early termination of the US antitrust waiting period takes us one important step closer to the closing of the pending transaction," they added in a statement.

The transaction announced in April remains subject to approval by Nokia shareholders, and is expected to close in the first half of 2016.
