Synopsys plans to acquire Ansys for $35 billion

Synopsys, one of the world's largest EDA companies, announced plans to acquire simulation software company Ansys for $35 billion. This merger has attracted widespread attention in the industry. The preliminary investigation of the UK Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) showed that the transaction may weaken competition in the supply of three software products. However, if Synopsys can provide alternative commitments to address CMA's concerns, the transaction may be approved.
