Northrop Grumman Corp. plans to complete its $7.8-billion takeover of TRW Inc. on Dec. 11 and doesn't expect the government will require the sale of any businesses.
Based on a draft of a consent decree with the Justice Department, executives of Century City-based Northrop believe they have Defense Department clearance for the deal and that the decree will be finalized in time to allow shareholder votes on the deal Dec. 11.
