Update: Market Chatter: Alphabet's Google Said to Ready EU Offer By November Deadline After $3.5 Billion Fine
Sep 21, 2025 2:15 AM

11:48 AM EDT, 09/19/2025 (MT Newswires) -- (Updates with European Commission response in the fourth paragraph.)

Alphabet's (GOOG, GOOGL) Google ( GOOG ) will meet the European Union's November deadline to propose changes to its advertising technology business following a $3.5 billion fine, but won't provide a full breakup that was previously requested by the EU and company rivals, Bloomberg reported Friday, citing people familiar with the matter.

The plan won't include a sale of Google's ( GOOG ) Ad Manager, the AdX exchange and DoubleClick for Publishers, despite European regulators previously flagging divestment as the only way to ensure fair competition, the report said.

The fine, raised by 60% for repeat violations, lifted Google's ( GOOG ) EU antitrust bill to almost 10 billion euros ($11.75 billion) in a decade and the company has vowed to appeal the penalty, Bloomberg reported.

The European Commission declined to comment while Google ( GOOG ) did not immediately respond to MT Newswires' request for comment.
