<combjelly: SVGI. ASML bought them recently.> Ahh yes.. the one that was pending regulatory approval. And was just granted it, it seems ;) asml.com November 6, 2000 - ASM Lithography Holding N.V. (ASML) and Silicon Valley Group, Inc. (SVGI) jointly announced today that they have received early termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 with respect to the merger of the companies, which means that the merger has been cleared for United States antitrust purposes. Consummation of the merger remains subject to approval by SVG's stockholders, other U.S. and international regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions. Subject to the stockholder approval and satisfaction or waiver of all closing conditions, the merger is expected to close in early 2001.
