Cerner announced today the U.S. Federal Trade Commission granted early termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino (HSR) Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, in connection with the company's purchase of the assets of Siemens' health information technology business unit, Siemens Health Services, for $1.3 billion in cash. The early termination of the HSR waiting period satisfies one of the conditions to the closing of the pending acquisition. The transaction remains subject to other customary closing conditions and is still expected to close in the first quarter of 2015.
