As the Chinese side has not yet done so, it is disturbing to VMware investors that Broadcom failed to complete the scheduled transaction on Monday for the $61 billion business software developer VMware.

Chase now states that the deal announced more than a year ago will be “completed soon” after the remaining conditions have been met. The chip giant did not specify the unsatisfied conditions, but investors considered it to be approved by the Chinese Government.

While Chase is confident that the deal will be completed, China’s silence is worrisome, as China’s regulatory agencies have failed in large-scale scientific and technological transactions by delaying their decision to approve a merger.

VMware's investors would lose a lot if Chase's deal could not take place. The purchase price at the time the transaction was announced was US$ 138, 40 per cent higher than VMware ' s share price before the transaction was reported in the media.

VMware ' s latest report is approximately US$ 139.
