Synopsys has announced that its proposed acquisition of Ansys has secured all requisite regulatory approvals. Pending the fulfillment or waiver of remaining customary closing conditions, the companies anticipate closing the transaction on or around July 17, 2025. Earlier, the State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR) approved the acquisition with conditions, mandating the divestiture of certain businesses and the preservation of customer contracts, among other stipulations. This merger and acquisition, valued at approximately $35 billion, aims to blend the strengths of both companies in chip design, simulation analysis, and other domains, thereby creating a globally leading provider of solutions spanning from chip to system design.
