Atotech previously announced that it has agreed to extend the date for completing MKS's pending acquisition of Atotech to September 30, 2022, from March 31, 2022. The extension is intended to allow additional time for receipt of regulatory approval from China's State Administration for Market Regulation ("SAMR"). In addition to receiving approval from SAMR, the acquisition, which is to be effected by means of a scheme of arrangement under the laws of the Bailiwick of Jersey, is subject to obtaining the required sanction by the Royal Court of Jersey and the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.
