Commentary:

The deal has been in preparation for over 12 months, and was uniquely structured to overcome the ACCC's initial opposition to the acquisition. The transaction was completed pursuant to a formal undertaking which involved an acquisition and a pioneering "same day" divestment by the merged enterprise of certain Victorian assets to a competitor entity. The transaction was one of the first to be fully reviewed under the revised merger guidelines of November 2008.
