Full Summary
The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) has approved Ampol Ltd's acquisition of EG Australia, subject to conditions. Ampol, a major fuel and convenience retailer, will divest 41 retail fuel sites to Metro Petroleum to address competition concerns. The ACCC was concerned that the acquisition could substantially lessen competition in 39 local markets where Ampol and EG Australia sites overlap. The divestiture is expected to create a strong, independent competitor in the affected markets.
