State Attorneys General Can Request Additional Information on HPE-Juniper Merger, According to Bloomberg
Federal Judge's Ruling: A federal judge has allowed state attorneys general to seek more information regarding the Justice Department's antitrust settlement with Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) related to its acquisition of Juniper Networks (JNPR).
Tunney Act Implications: The ruling is based on the Tunney Act's public-interest review process, enabling states to potentially halt the integration of HPE and Juniper while the settlement is examined more closely.
DOJ's Legal Action: The Department of Justice (DOJ) had previously filed a lawsuit in January to block HPE's $14 billion acquisition of Juniper Networks.
Ongoing Scrutiny: The decision indicates ongoing scrutiny of large corporate mergers and the role of state attorneys general in antitrust matters.
