RNS Number : 8012O  Competition and Markets Authority  17 May 2024

Microsoft Corporation's partnership with Mistral AI

The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) announced the launch of its merger
inquiry by notice to the Parties on 16 May 2024.

The CMA has considered whether it is or may be the case that this transaction
has resulted in the creation of a relevant merger situation under the merger
provisions of the Enterprise Act 2002 and, if so, whether the creation of that
merger has resulted or may be expected to result in a substantial lessening of
competition within any market or markets in the United Kingdom for goods or
services.

The CMA has decided that the above merger does not qualify for investigation
under the merger provisions of the Enterprise Act 2002.

The text of this decision will be placed on the dedicated case page
(https://www.gov.uk/cma-cases/microsoft-slash-mistral-ai-partnership-merger-inquiry)
as soon as is reasonably practicable.

In the event of media enquiries please email press@cma.gov.uk.
