SABIC and Clariant to deepen alliance as regulators back stake deal:
Saudi Basic Industries Corp won regulatory approvals on Monday to buy a quarter of Swiss chemicals maker Clariant, cementing a partnership they hope will drive profit.
The world's fourth-largest chemicals maker said in January it was buying a 24.99 percent stake from activist investors, rescuing Clariant from a hostile takeover threat.
However, gaining a regulatory nod from countries including Mexico and Brazil has pushed back closure of SABIC's stock purchase by nine months.
