April 11 (Reuters) - Australia's OZ Minerals said on Tuesday its A$9.6 billion ($6.38 billion) buyout by BHP
Group has received Vietnam's Competition and Consumer
Authority's approval.
In early February, OZ Minerals had also received approval
from Brazil's competition regulator, the Administrative Council
for Economic Defence, for the proposed buyout.
The copper-gold producer on Dec. 22 entered a scheme
implementation deed with the world's largest listed miner, BHP,
to proceed formally with the takeover.
The scheme still remains subject to other conditions,
including approval by OZ Minerals' shareholders, and by an
Australian court. The scheme meeting is scheduled to be held on
April 13, according to OZ Minerals.
