Monitor progress with China's SAMR and Korea's KFTC as the next catalysts. The FTC clearance removes the largest regulatory overhang; any positive news from the remaining jurisdictions could further compress the deal spread. Trade the spread or wait for definitive close announcement.

Executive Summary
Skyworks updated the status of regulatory approvals for its pending merger with Qorvo. The U.S. FTC's HSR waiting period has expired, and the FTC let the timing agreement lapse on August 1, 2026, without taking action, clearing the main U.S. antitrust hurdle. Two jurisdictions remain open — China (SAMR) and South Korea (KFTC) — while other foreign investment approvals have been obtained. Management expressed confidence to close within the calendar year, but the timeline is not assured.
Key Facts
- HSR waiting period expired, FTC allowed timing agreement to expire without action on August 1, 2026
- China (State Administration for Market Regulation) and South Korea (Korea Fair Trade Commission) remain the only open jurisdictions
- All foreign investment filings in other jurisdictions have been cleared
- Skyworks preparing to close as early as within the fiscal year; hopeful for calendar year closing
