    ANTICIPATED ACQUISITION BY DFS FURNITURE PLC OF SOFOLOGY LIMITED DECISION ON RELEVANT MERGER SITUATION AND SUBSTANTIAL LESSENING OF COMPETITION ME/6706-17 The CMA’s decision on reference under section 33(1) of the Enterprise Act 2002 given on 20 November 2017. Full text of the decision published on 15 December 2017. Please note that [] indicates figures or text which have been deleted or replaced in ranges at the request of the parties for reasons of commercial confidentiality. SUMMARY 1. DFS Furniture plc (through its wholly owned subsidiary DFS Furniture Company Limited) (DFS) has agreed to acquire Sofology Limited (Sofology) (the Merger). DFS and Sofology are together referred to as the Parties. 2. The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) believes that it is or may be the case that the Parties will cease to be distinct as a result of the Merger, that the turnover test is met and that, accordingly, arrangements are in progress or in contemplation which, if carried into effect, will result in the creation of a relevant merger situation. 3. The Parties overlap in the retail supply of upholstered living room furniture in bricks-and-mortar stores and online across the UK. 4. The CMA believes that online sales exercise some constraint on the bricks- and-mortar sales of upholstered living room furniture, although there may be limits to the competitive interaction between these two distribution channels. The CMA therefore considered competition between bricks-and-mortar retailers and competition between online retailers, both together and separately. 1 5. With regard to bricks-and-mortar competition, as the CMA could not rule out that the Parties vary some aspects of their competitive offering locally, the CMA assessed the effects of the Merger in the local areas where the Parties’ stores overlap.

    Equity Research; Post “Brexit” what should work Post “Brexit” what should work Research Report Report Date “There are decades where nothing happens; and there are weeks when decades happen”; Lenin th 19 July 2016 Broadly the dust is now settling. What is the early impact of “Brexit”…so far? Analyst i) Weak sterling “low for longer” due to lower interest rate support, Ravi Lockyer MSc Llb less confidence in the UK’s prospects outside of the EU. We expect Collins Sarri Statham the Bank of England will lower Base Rate to 0.25% on the 4th August Investments Ltd 2016. Finally we see the Brexit “shock” as only slightly slowing UK GDP in 2016. STG has settled well below the long term trend support at US$1.50 (31 year lows). This helps FTSE100 earnings. Source ONS ii) A possible UK constitutional crisis as the government moves towards Article 50 but without a solution for Scotland and Northern Ireland. iii) The drivers of the UK consumer, the property market and wage growth could be more sluggish as Brexit “shock” is absorbed. iv) The UK government is looking at stimulus measures, more infrastructure spending & specific actions for weaker industrial areas. In this currency sensitive environment, broad groupings have emerged:- i) “Winners” - “large cap” UK multi-national beneficiaries of the UK devaluation due to overseas revenue exposure. This list comprises a spectrum of oil & gas majors, pharmaceuticals, HSBC and Standard Chartered, a range of exporters such as BATS, Imperial, Diageo, Rolls Royce. The primary reason is USD or EUR dividends. ii) “Losers” have been UK insurers (due to EU pass-porting risks), housebuilders (UK property concerns), the UK centric retail banks, publicans, airline and travel companies (weaker UK demand for short haul travel), large retailers (costs in Euros/ USD linked currencies).
