  • Public Competition Assessment
    Public Competition Assessment 18 October 2010 7-Eleven Stores Pty Ltd – proposed acquisition of retail assets of Mobil Oil Australia Pty Ltd Peregrine Corporation – proposed acquisition of the South Australian retail assets of Mobil Oil Australia Pty Ltd A Introduction 1. On 22 July 2010, the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) announced its decision not to oppose the proposed acquisition of the retail assets of Mobil Oil Australia Pty Ltd by 7-Eleven Stores Pty Ltd (the 7- Eleven acquisition), on the basis that it would be receiving section 87B undertakings to divest certain assets. On the same date, the ACCC announced its decision not to oppose the proposed acquisition by Peregrine Corporation of the South Australian retail assets of Mobil Oil Australia Pty Ltd from 7-Eleven Stores Pty Ltd (the Peregrine acquisition), on the basis that it would be receiving section 87B undertakings to divest one retail site. 2. The ACCC decided that the 7-Eleven acquisition and the Peregrine acquisition, in conjunction with the undertakings proposed by each party, would be unlikely to have the effect of substantially lessening competition in the various relevant local markets for the retail supply of petrol, diesel and LPG in contravention of section 50 of the Trade Practices Act 1974 (the Act). 3. On 1 October 2010, the ACCC accepted undertakings from each of 7-Eleven Stores Pty Ltd and Peregrine Corporation. 4. The ACCC made its decision on the basis of the information provided by the merger parties and information arising from its market inquiries. This Public Competition Assessment outlines the basis on which the ACCC has reached its decision on the proposed acquisition, subject to confidentiality considerations.
