22 May 2026 Parrish & Heimbecker, Limited; GrainsConnect Canada Operations Inc.Canada: grain elevator must be sold in the takeover of GrainsConnect Order
The planned acquisition of GrainsConnect by Parrish & Heimbecker would have reduced competition for the purchase of wheat from farmers around Reford (Saskatchewan). The Competition Bureau reached an agreement under which P&H must divest the grain elevator in Reford to an approved buyer and continue to operate it normally until then.
Merger control also has local effects: even a single site can trigger a divestiture requirement.

17 Dec 2025 Greencore Group plcGreencore/Bakkavor: takeover only with sale of sauce plant in Bristol Order
In the planned acquisition of the food manufacturer Bakkavor, the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) found a substantial lessening of competition in chilled own-label sauces for UK supermarkets. It cleared the merger only because Greencore undertook to sell its entire chilled soups and sauces plant in Bristol, including its employees, to a pre-determined purchaser.
Even overlaps in small product segments can hold up an entire acquisition – prepare remedies early.

18 Sep 2024 AGROFERT, a.s.AGROFERT: 21 million EUR for concealed takeover of two large bakeries upheld €21m
In 2013, AGROFERT acquired control of the bakeries PRVÁ BRATISLAVSKÁ PEKÁRENSKÁ and PEZA, but had the Žilina bakery held covertly by a third party for two years in order to circumvent the notification threshold – the authority had rejected an earlier takeover in 2011. The Council of the Protimonopolný úrad Slovenskej republiky (Antimonopoly Office of the Slovak Republic, PMÚ SR) upheld the fine of 21 million EUR; final since 27 September 2024.
Staggered acquisitions or acquisitions concealed via third parties are aggregated – circumvention structures increase the fine.
