Commission clears acquisition of ST Dynamo Investment by KKR and Singtel

The European Commission has approved, under the EU Merger Regulation, the acquisition of joint control of ST Dynamo Investment Holdings Pte. Ltd. (‘ST Dynamo Investment’) of Singapore by KKR & Co. Inc. of the US and Singapore Telecommunications Limited (‘Singtel’) of Singapore.

The transaction relates primarily to the sector of data processing, hosting and other related activities.
