What is the timeline for closing the deal and any required regulatory approvals?

Answer – Timeline and Regulatory Approvals

Based on the brief Business Wire release that you provided, the news release does not contain any specific details about:

  1. The expected closing date (e.g., “the transaction is expected to close in Q3 2025,” “closing expected by the end of 2025,” etc.), or
  2. Any required regulatory or third‑party approvals (e.g., antitrust clearance, foreign‑investment approval, or other governmental consents) that must be obtained before the transaction can be completed.

What is typically stated in a definitive‑agreement announcement (when the information is disclosed):

Item Typical language (if disclosed)
Closing timeline “The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2025, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.”
Regulatory approvals “The transaction is subject to receipt of all required regulatory approvals, including but not limited to Australian competition law clearance and any applicable U.S. foreign‑investment approvals.”
Other conditions “The closing is also subject to the execution of definitive transaction documents and the approval of the Helios Board of Directors and the relevant shareholders.”

In this particular announcement (the excerpt you shared), none of these items were disclosed. Therefore, the exact timeline for the deal’s closing and the specific regulatory approvals required remain unpublished in the summary you have provided.


What to Do Next

  • Read the full press release (or the accompanying Form 8‑K/10‑K filing with the SEC) for any “Closing Conditions” and “Regulatory Approvals” sections. Those documents usually list:

    • Target closing date (e.g., “by December 31 2025” or “within 60 days of the signing date”),
    • Specific approvals required (e.g., Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC), U.S. Committee on Foreign Investment (CFIUS), or other jurisdictional bodies).
  • Monitor subsequent filings (e.g., a “Closing of Transaction” press release or a 8‑K “Other Events” filing) for the actual date the transaction closed and for confirmation that all required approvals have been obtained.


Bottom line: The current news brief does not specify a closing timeline nor the specific regulatory approvals required; those details would be found in the full definitive‑agreement documentation or a more detailed press release. If you need precise dates and the list of required approvals, you’ll need to review the full Helios Technologies press release or its SEC filings.
