MUNICH, Germany, Oct 18 (Reuters) - Linde said on Thursday it had no knowledge of its planned merger with Praxair being given the green light, denying a media report which said the deal had passed anti-trust hurdles in the United States.
“We have no such information,” a spokesman said.
Manager Magazin earlier on Thursday said the industrial gases groups Praxair and Linde are set to win U.S. antitrust approval for their planned $86 billion merger. (Reporting by Alexander Huebner Writing by Edward Taylor Editing by Michelle Martin)
