This decision is consistent with the previous position of the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC). Staples will pay $250 million in agreement termination fees for Odie Office. Odi Office stated that it plans to meet on May 16 to discuss the next steps; and said it is committed to completing key priorities for 2016. After the news was announced, Staples plunged 10% after the market; Oudi Office plunged 26%. In February 2015, Staples agreed to acquire Oudi Office in cash and stock for a total price of 6.3 billion U.S. dollars. In early December of that year, the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) raised objections to the merger between Staples and Oudi. The FTC stated that the merger of the two companies would significantly reduce competition across the country or violate antitrust laws.
