CMA decision on Origin's agreement to acquire Bunn
14 July 2017
Origin Enterprises plc, the Agri-Services Group ('Origin' or the 'Group'), notes that the Competition and Markets Authority ('CMA') has published its findings in respect of its initial review of Origin's agreement to acquire the fertiliser activities and certain assets of Bunn Fertiliser Limited ('Bunn'). The CMA has found that Origin's proposed acquisition of Bunn could reduce competition to supply fertilisers in the central / eastern region of Scotland.
Origin is now considering the implications of the CMA findings and will provide a further update in due course.
