merger remedies

Merger remedies are measures taken to address concerns regulators have when two companies plan to combine. If a merger could reduce competition and harm consumers, regulators might require the companies to make changes—like selling parts of their business, licensing technology, or agreeing to certain behaviors—to ensure the market remains fair and competitive. These remedies aim to prevent the merger from creating excessive market power or unfair advantages while allowing the companies to proceed with their plans under adjusted conditions.
