CMA clearance decision

8 April 2019: The CMA has cleared the proposed acquisition by OSRAM Licht Group of RGI Light (Holdings) Limited and Ring Automotive Limited.

Invitation to comment: Now closed.

20 February 2019: The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) is considering whether it is or may be the case that this transaction, if carried into effect, will result 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 may be expected to result in a substantial lessening of competition within any market or markets in the United Kingdom for goods or services.

Launch of merger inquiry

20 February 2019: The CMA announced the launch of its merger inquiry by notice to the parties.
