TIDMTPK TIDMBTSM RNS Number : 7779X Office of Fair Trading 10 December 2010 +-------------------------------------+-----------------------+ | 135/10 | 10 December 2010 | +-------------------------------------+-----------------------+ +-------------------------------------------------------------+ | TRAVIS PERKINS/BSS: OFT ACCEPTS UNDERTAKINGS FROM TRAVIS | | PERKINS | +-------------------------------------------------------------+ The OFT has today accepted undertakings from Travis Perkins PLC to sell Plumbing Trade Supplies or City Plumbing Supplies stores in 20 local areas across the UK to resolve competition concerns raised by its merger with the BSS Group PLC. During its investigation into the merger, the OFT concluded that it could not dismiss competition concerns in the 20 local areas, and as a result, Travis Perkins offered to make divestments in order to avoid a reference to the Competition Commission. The public consultation on the proposed undertakings did not lead the OFT to conclude that modifications are required to them. The OFT believes that the proposed undertakings are appropriate to remedy the competition concerns identified in its decision of 26 October 2010 and has therefore accepted them. Amelia Fletcher, Senior Director of Mergers for the OFT, said: 'After a careful investigation, we concluded that this transaction raised competition concerns in 20 local areas. The remedies that we have accepted today, once fully implemented, should retain competition at the level that existed pre-merger, thereby protecting consumers in those local areas.' NOTES 1. The reference test - the OFT has a duty to make a reference to the Competition Commission if it believes that it is or may be the case that arrangements are in progress or in contemplation which, if carried into effect, will result in the creation of a relevant merger situation, and the creation of that situation may be expected to result in a substantial lessening of competition within any market or markets in the United Kingdom for goods or services. 2. Under the Enterprise Act 2002 a relevant merger situation is created if two or more enterprises have ceased to be distinct enterprises; and the value of the turnover in the United Kingdom of the enterprise being taken over exceeds GBP70 million; or as a result of the transaction, in relation to the supply of goods or services of any description, a 25 per cent share of supply in the UK (or a substantial part thereof) is created or enhanced. 3. Undertakings in lieu of reference - under section 73 of the Enterprise Act 2002 the OFT may, instead of making a reference to the Competition Commission, and for the purpose of remedying, mitigating or preventing the substantial lessening of competition concerned, or any adverse effect which may be expected to result from it, accept from such of the parties concerned as it considers appropriate undertakings to take such action as it considers appropriate. The OFT is required to consult publicly before accepting any such undertakings. 4. The full text of this decision and a copy of the agreed undertakings will appear in the mergers section of this website at a later date.
