The European Commission has cleared the acquisition of Ascend Performance Materials Holdings, a U.S.-based company, by investment firm Silver Point Capital.
The deal was approved under the simplified procedure for merger control.

Headquartered in Texas, Ascend manufactures polyamide 66 for use in plastics and fibers, with annual revenue of approximately $3 billion.

At the end of April, Ascend entered voluntary Chapter 11 proceedings—a legal framework that allows financially distressed companies to reduce debt and restructure operations without disruption or creditor action (see article).
