智通财经APP获悉，据报道，欧盟委员会可能将无条件批准诺和诺德(NVO.US)母公司Novo Holdings以165亿美元收购美国合同制药商Catalent(CTLT.US)的交易。
欧盟委员会将在12月6日之前决定是否批准该合并案，或者决定启动更深入的审查。
今年2月，Catalent同意以每股63.50美元的价格被Novo Holdings收购。Novo Holdings随后将向诺和诺德出售三个Catalent生产基地，这将有助于诺和诺德提高其畅销减肥药Wegovy的产量。
诺和诺德和Catalent最近都重申了它们的预期，即交易将在今年年底前完成。
制药巨头罗氏呼吁执法者否决该交易，担心这笔交易可能会打击减肥药行业的竞争。诺和诺德在肥胖和糖尿病药物市场的主要竞争对手礼来(LLY.US)也表达了担忧。
这笔交易也受到了美国消费者团体的批评，他们上个月敦促美国联邦贸易委员会阻止该交易，称其威胁到减肥药物行业的竞争。
截至周五收盘，Catalent涨2.21%，报60.98美元；诺和诺德涨2.37%，报105.06美元。
