BRUSSELS, April 8 (Reuters) - EU antitrust regulators are set to approve Formula One owner Liberty Media's FWONA.O, 3.5-billion-euro ($3.8 billion) acquisition of MotoGP owner Dorna Sports, people with direct knowledge of the matter said.
Liberty Media announced the deal to buy 86% of MotoGP in April last year, with Dorna management keeping around 14% of its equity, giving the deal an enterprise value of 4.2 billion euros for Dorna/MotoGP and an equity value of 3.5 billion euros.
