DETERMINATION OF MERGER APPLICATION: LAMBOU INVESTMENTS LIMITED (COLLINS LIMITED AND CARLISLE LABORATORIES LIMITED)/AGOSTINI LIMITED

 

The Fair Trading Commission (“the Commission”) has approved Agostini Limited’s acquisition of Collins Limited and Carlisle Laboratories Limited.

After identifying the relevant markets, the Commission completed a comprehensive competitive analysis which considered the potential impacts of the transaction. Consideration was also given to the number and relative size of the firms in the market and the effect of barriers on new firms seeking to enter each market.

 

Subsequent to this analysis, and pursuant to Section 20(5) of the Fair Competition Act, CAP. 326C, the Commission determined that the merger would not lessen competition in the identified markets.
