Shutterstock 與 Getty Images 合併協議終止，因 CMA 條件未獲滿足
AI 繁中摘要
Shutterstock 提交 8-K 申報，披露其與 Getty Images 的合併協議已正式終止。事源英國競爭及市場管理局（CMA）為批准交易開出條件，要求 Shutterstock 出售其編輯業務。Getty Images 董事會其後一致決定不按 CMA 監督推進相關出售程序，並在第二延長截止日期（2026年7月6日）過後，於2026年7月7日終止合併協議。合約自2025年1月6日簽訂，歷時約18個月後告吹。
今次交易失敗意味 Shutterstock 將維持獨立營運，短期內不會因合併而產生協同效應或業務重組。投資者需注意：公司可能需重新審視增長策略，甚至面對 CMA 或其他監管機構的後續關注。消息對股價的影響有待市場消化，但交易告吹消除了不確定性，亦避免了被迫出售核心編輯業務的潛在風險。 💼📉
