-- 英国競争市場庁（CMA）は木曜日、Shutterstock（SSTK）とGetty Images（GETY）の合併が成立した場合、競争阻害への対策として、Shutterstockの編集事業全体を売却すべきだと発表した。 CMAは第三者機関との協議を経て、中間報告書の中で、両社が当初提案していた、BackgridとSplashブランドで運営されているShutterstockの編集事業を売却するという案は、合併による競争阻害への効果的な対策とはならないと述べた。 CMAによると、合併に関する最終決定は6月14日に予定されている。 Getty Imagesはへの電子メールによる声明で、「CMAの中間報告書に示された対策に関する暫定的な結論には同意できない」と述べた。同社の広報担当者は、CMAにさらなる証拠を提出する予定だと述べた。 Shutterstockはからのコメント要請にすぐには応じなかった。
