JD.com (09618.HK)(JD.US) announced earlier this month the acquisition of European consumer electronics retailers MediaMarkt and Saturn's parent company CECONOMY AG, with a cash consideration of €4.6 per share.

Germany's antitrust authority Bundeskartellamt stated that it has approved the transaction, noting that JD.com's business presence in Germany has been very limited so far, and therefore believes that this acquisition raises almost no competition concerns
