12:10 PM EDT, 09/04/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Microsoft ( MSFT ) will likely avoid a potentially large antitrust penalty as EU regulators will accept its offer to separate its Teams collaboration platform from its Office packages, Bloomberg reported Thursday, citing sources familiar with the matter.

The company's competitors and customers did not raise any serious objections in a so-called market test, the sources told the news outlet.

Under the proposed settlement from Microsoft ( MSFT ), which is set to be approved in the coming weeks, the company will sell Teams separately from its Office 365 and Microsoft ( MSFT ) 365 packages, according to the report.

The decision is still in a draft form and the timing could still change, Bloomberg cited the sources as saying.

Microsoft ( MSFT ) did not immediately reply to a request for comment from MT Newswires.
