China’s Ninestar Corporation has confirmed that its sale of Lexmark International II LLC has successfully cleared all necessary antitrust reviews, paving the way for the transaction to move forward. The Chinese company, which owns the printer giant Lexmark, previously announced its decision to sell the subsidiary, a move that has now passed regulatory scrutiny from relevant authorities.
This clearance is a key milestone in the sale process, ensuring that the transaction complies with both domestic and international competition laws. As part of the deal, Lexmarkโs operations are expected to continue under new ownership, with potential impacts on its market strategy, including product development and regional expansion.
The completion of these reviews signals a shift in the global printing and imaging market, as Xerox is poised to take control of Lexmark. This transition marks a significant phase in Lexmarkโs evolution, with its integration into Xeroxโs portfolio likely to bring strategic synergies and expanded market reach. While the financial terms of the deal remain undisclosed, this move signals a new chapter for both companies as they work to strengthen their position in an increasingly competitive and digital-first market.
