WILMERDING, Pa., Oct. 04, 2016 -- Wabtec Corporation (NYSE:WAB) and Faiveley Transport S.A. (Euronext Paris:LEY) said they have received conditional clearance from the European Commission for their proposed combination.

Completion of the proposed combination of Wabtec and Faiveley Transport remains subject to the approval of the buyer of FTG by the European Commission and to regulatory clearance in the United States, where both companies continue to cooperate with the U.S. Department of Justice to reach approval. The acquisition of the Faiveley family stake by Wabtec is expected to occur in the fourth quarter of 2016.
Wabtec Corporation is a global provider of value-added, technology-based products and services for freight rail, passenger transit and other industrial segments. Faiveley Transport is a global supplier of high added value integrated systems for the railway industry.
