In a statement, the Commission said, “The Commission is particularly concerned that the transaction would allow Broadcom to restrict competition in the market for certain hardware components which interoperate with VMware’s software.”

On December 9, it was reported that the Commission was set to open a full-scale probe into the deal, the second biggest globally so far this year.

The Commission said its preliminary investigation indicates the transaction may permit Broadcom to restrict competition for the supply of certain components by degrading convergence between VMware software and competitors’ hardware to the benefit of its own hardware.
