  1. This transaction was identified by the OFT's Mergers Intelligence Committee. The four month statutory limit within which to consider this transaction was due to expire on 4 June 2013 but this deadline was extended to 18 June 2013 by virtue of section 25(2) notice of the Enterprise Act 2002 (the Act).
  2. On the basis of the information available to it, the Office of Fair Trading has decided that the completed acquisition of Dorchester Garden 948 (formerly IFABLimited) by Global Energy Group (Isleburn) does not qualify for investigation under the mergers provisions of the Enterprise Act 2002 (the Act), because neither the UK turnover test nor the share of supply test in section 23 of the Act is met. A relevant merger situation has, therefore, not been created.
