The European Union's antitrust regulators will reportedly give their verdict on Amazon's $1.4 billion acquisition of iRobot by February 14 next year. The investigation was temporarily paused for a more comprehensive assessment of the information provided by Amazon. There are concerns over the potential implications of this acquisition on competition in the market of robotic vacuum cleaning devices. Amazon adjusted its offer for iRobot by approximately 15%, lowering the purchase price to about $1.42 billion due to iRobot accruing more debt.
