Editor's Note: Story has been updated to reflect the purchase of Sigma-Aldrich by German Merck not the American Merck as was previously reported NEW YORK -- Merck shares are down 0.84% to $34.39 in trading Monday but could rebound after regulators at the European Commission approved the company's $17 billion acquisition of American life science company Sigma-Aldrich this afternoon, according to Reuters . The EC said that the decision is conditional on the divestment of certain Sigma-Aldrich assets, including manufacturing facilities in Merck's home country of Germany.
