London Stock Exchange Group Plc is poised to receive antitrust objections from European Union regulators examining its $27 billion plan to buy data provider Refinitiv, according to a person familiar with matter.
The filing is imminent, said the person, who asked not to be named discussing information that isn’t public. Such statements of objections lay out the EU’s potential antitrust concerns with deals, which companies can then challenge in writing or at a hearing.
