Nokia aims to close Microsoft acquisition deal by end of Q1

Nokia wants to assure the public that the company plans to close Microsoft’s purchase of the Finnish brand by the end of March. A new press release from Nokia wanted to emphasize that an ongoing tax dispute in India over one factory in the country will not affect the deal. Nokia has petitioned the Indian Supreme Court to reverse a ruling that was expected to complicate the agreement. But the company is quick to say the deal is expected to push through during this first quarter of the year.
