Lumentum Holdings, seen by analysts as a parts supplier for Apple’s Face ID technology, announced on Thursday, December 6, it received antitrust clearance from China for its US$1.7 billion acquisition of Oclaro.
The news comes against the backdrop of the arrest of a top executive of Chinese tech giant Huawei for extradition to the United States that sparked fears of a flare-up in Sino-US tensions, according to Reuters.
Announcing the cash-and-stock deal for Oclaro earlier in March, US-based Lumentum stated the purchase was aimed at broadening its portfolio of laser offerings and getting an edge in a fast-developing market for 3D sensing technology.
