The companies have the bulk of the approvals required, but they are “continuing to constructively engage with relevant authorities in the remaining jurisdictions,” Chief Executive Officer Greg Heckman said during an earnings call on Wednesday.The deal, announced in June last year, is being delayed by antitrust concerns. Bunge and Viterra offered concessions that will likely win a nod from the European bloc, while Canada’s antitrust watchdog has raised concerns about the deal.
