Reseña del editor:

This report sets out the terms of the completed acquisition of NBTY Europe Limited (NBTY) and Julian Graves Limited (JG). The completed acquisition was referred to the Competition Commission on 20 March 2009 by the Office of Fair Trading. NBTY, through Holland and Barrett Retail Limited (H&B), and JG overlap in the retailing of nuts, seeds and dried fruit, including coated and flavoured products (NSF). Prior to the acquisition, the Competition Commission found that JG was failing due to overburdened debt and required an investment of new equity. The Commission took the overall view that this aquisition was unlikely to result in substantial price rises, or a reduction in the range and quality of the products. Also, that there was enough competitive contraint within this market, due to other outlets, such as supermarkets, that would therefore not result in a substantial lessening of competition (SLC).

Reseña del editor:

On 20 March 2009 the Office of Fair Trading referred the completed acquisition of Julian Graves Limited (JG) by NBTY Europe Limited (NBTY) to the Competition Commission (CC) for investigation and report. "NBTY and Julian Graves: A Report on the Completed Acquisition by NBTY Europe Limited of Julian Graves Limited" is the CC's final report on this acquisition. NBTY, through Holland and Barrett Retail Limited (H&B), and JG overlap in the retailing of nuts, seeds, and dried fruit (NSF). The report analyses the competitive interaction between Holland & Barrett and JG and other retailers of NSF. The acquisition is considered on a local and national level, to determine the impact of the merger within different markets. In order to assess the effects of the acquisition on competition, the report evaluates the competitive constraints with the merger compared with the situation that would have been expected without the merger. The report makes a conclusion on whether the merger of NBTY and JG is likely to cause a substantial lessening of competition within the market for the retailing of NSF, on both a local and national level.
