Completed acquisition by Asda Stores Limited of Arthur Foodstores Limited from Co-operative Group Limited
Invitation to comment: Closes on Tuesday 31 January 2023

The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) is considering whether it is or
may be the case that this transaction has resulted in the creation of a
relevant merger situation under the merger provisions of the Enterprise Act
2002 and, if so, whether the creation of that situation has resulted, or may
be expected to result, in a substantial lessening of competition within any
market or markets in the United Kingdom for goods or services.

To assist it with this assessment, the CMA invites comments on the transaction
from any interested party.

These comments should be provided by the deadline set out above to:
