The Regulatory Break Fee under the merger agreement is set at $275 million, which could increase to $325 million if certain divestiture milestones are not met.\nAdditionally, the waiver modifies certain operational restrictions and closing conditions, particularly those related to government approvals, and increases the revenue-related aspect of the \"Burdensome Condition\" definition.\nDespite regulatory scrutiny and potential challenges, this waiver marks a key development in the ongoing efforts to finalize the merger.\nThe companies continue to work toward completing the deal, which is expected to provide both parties substantial synergies and growth opportunities.\nPrice Action: UNH shares are trading lower by 0.52% to $508.47 at last check Friday.
