Regulators scrutinize Broadcom's $61B VMware acquisition.

Broadcom is facing regulatory scrutiny from various countries over its $61 billion buyout of VMware. The UK's Competition and Market Authority (CMA) has given Broadcom until May 9 to respond to its concerns that the merger could harm rivals and the market. The European Commission and the US Federal Trade Commission are also investigating the deal. Broadcom has repeatedly said it expects the merger to take longer to close, and it is still awaiting clearance in China.
