Xpanse Ltd / Rebus Insurance Services Ltd and Rebus Technologies Ltd

OFT closed case: Anticipated acquisition by Xpanse Limited of Rebus Insurance Services Limited and Rebus Technologies Limited.

Affected market: Insurance software

No. ME/1598/04

On the basis of the information available to it, the OFT has decided that the anticipated acquisition by Xpanse Limited of Rebus Insurance Services Limited and Rebus Technologies Limited does not qualify for investigation under the mergers provisions of the Enterprise Act 2002, 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.
