Royal Mail statement on French competition authority investigation into alleged antitrust law breaches in France
Royal Mail plc (RMG.L) announces that certain group companies have received a notice from the French competition authority (Autorité de la Concurrence) alleging breaches of antitrust laws by one of its subsidiaries, GLS France. This is in connection with a broader investigation into alleged activities within the industry in France.
We are currently considering the notice received from the French regulator. Given the early stage of this matter, we cannot yet determine the amount or range of potential loss; however, it is possible that it could be material.
An update will be provided at the appropriate time.
