Chile’s competition authority, FNE, has now approved our acquisition by Microsoft, joining regulators elsewhere that have also recognized the deal’s benefits for competition and players.

As other responsible regulators review the facts, we expect more approvals like this one.
- Saudi Arabia
- United Arab Emirates
- Brazil
- Serbia
- Chile
Reportedly Japan is looking good for approval as well...Probably a Brazil tier market in terms of importance.
I'd guess something like.
- Tier 1: UK, USA, China, EU.
- Tier 2: Japan, Brazil, Mexico, Australia.
- Tier 3: The Rest.
