Northrop said Monday it continues to support the Federal Trade Commission in its effort to evaluate the transaction.
The European Commissions decision came nearly a month after Kathy Warden, Northrop president and chief operating officer and a 2018 Wash100 recipient, announced plans to establish a new innovation systems business once the Falls Church, Virginia-based defense contractor completes the acquisition.
Northrop received from FTC a second request for additional data on the pending merger in December.
