Anti-trust regulators in India joined their counterparts in the European Union in granting conditional approval for the $25 billion tie-up of Abbott (NYSE:ABT) and St. Jude Medical (NYSE:STJ).

In a Dec. 16 Twitter message, the Competition Committee of India said it “approves proposed combination between St Jude Medical and Abbott Laboratories; subject to voluntary remedies.”

Although the exact “voluntary remedies” required by CCI weren’t made clear, last month the European Commission’s decision on the deal required the divestiture of a pair of device lines: St. Jude must deal its Angio-Seal and Femoseal vascular closure assets, including a manufacturing plant in Puerto Rico, and Abbott must deal the Vado steerable sheath it bought with the acquisition of Kalila Medicalearlier this year.

Happily for Abbott and St. Jude, those assets are already slated for a $1 billion sale to Japan’s Terumo (TYO:4543).

Abbott has said it plans to pay for the deal with cash on hand and a $15.1 billion debt offering. The Abbott Park, Ill.-based healthcare giant floated $2.85 billion in 2.35% senior notes due in 2019; $2.85 billion in 2.9% notes due 2021; $1.5 billion in 3.4% notes due 2023; $3.0 billion in 3.75% notes due 2026; $1.65 billion in 4.75% notes due 2036; and $3.25 billion in 4.9% notes due 2046.

If the deal doesn’t go through by the end of next year, Abbott would have to redeem the 2019, 2023, 2026, 2036 and 2046 notes, but not the 2021 notes at a 101% premium plus interest, according to a regulatory filing.
