Date Event

Draft 87B undertaking offered by Coles. As the undertaking offered by Coles at an early stage addressed the competition concern, the ACCC did not consider it necessary to conduct a full public review of the proposed acquisition.

ACCC announced it would not oppose the proposed merger, subject to a section 87B undertaking accepted by the ACCC.
