The two companies received notice from the Committee on Foreign Investment in the US that the transaction has been cleared, according to a joint statement from the two companies. The transaction is expected to be completed at the end of August.

The National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Commerce and the State Administration of Foreign Exchange have also given approval for Wanda to proceed with the acquisition.
