  • Vita NZ and Pacific Brand Holdings
    PUBLIC VERSION COMMERCE ACT 1986: BUSINESS ACQUISITION SECTION 66: NOTICE SEEKING CLEARANCE Date: 7 March 2008 The Registrar Business Acquisitions and Authorisations Commerce Commission PO Box 2351 WELLINGTON Pursuant to s66(1) of the Commerce Act 1986 notice is hereby given seeking clearance of a proposed acquisition. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1.1 Vita New Zealand Limited ("Vita") seeks clearance to acquire the Assets of Pacific Brands Holdings (NZ) Limited's ("Pacific Brands") Dunlop Foams & Flooring and Sleepmaker divisions, which are respectively active in the manufacture and importation of PU foam, importation of rebonded PU foam flooring underlay, and the manufacture of mattresses. 1.2 Vita has entered into a conditional agreement for the acquisition of the Assets. 1.3 The proposed acquisition affects the national market for the manufacture and wholesale supply of PU foam ("PU Foam Market") and the national market for the manufacture and / or importation for wholesale supply of flooring underlay ("Underlay Market"). Vita considers that a substantial lessening of competition will not occur in either of these markets. 1.4 In respect of the PU Foam Market, Vita considers that the proposed acquisition will not result in a substantial lessening of competition for the following reasons: (a) The combined entity will continue to be constrained by Enviro-foam's substantial excess capacity, rendering it well placed to easily and readily expand. (b) The ability for acquirers of PU foam, such as Sleepyhead [CONFIDENTIAL], to establish their own PU foam manufacturing facilities (given the low barriers) means that the threat of a switch to self-supply by any one of the combined entity's larger acquirers will act as a real constraint.

"No. On the contrary." "Are we descending?" "Worse than that, captain! we are falling!" "For Heaven's sake heave out the ballast!" "There! the last sack is empty!" "Does the balloon rise?" "No!" "I hear a noise like the dashing of waves. The sea is below the car! It cannot be more than 500 feet from us!" "Overboard with every weight! . everything!" Such were the loud and startling words which resounded through the air, above the vast watery desert of the Pacific, about four o'clock in the evening of the 23rd of March, 1865. page 1 / 899 Few can possibly have forgotten the terrible storm from the northeast, in the middle of the equinox of that year. The tempest raged without intermission from the 18th to the 26th of March. Its ravages were terrible in America, Europe, and Asia, covering a distance of eighteen hundred miles, and extending obliquely to the equator from the thirty-fifth north parallel to the fortieth south parallel. Towns were overthrown, forests uprooted, coasts devastated by the mountains of water which were precipitated on them, vessels cast on the shore, which the published accounts numbered by hundreds, whole districts leveled by waterspouts which destroyed everything they passed over, several thousand people crushed on land or drowned at sea; such were the traces of its fury, left by this devastating tempest. It surpassed in disasters those which so frightfully ravaged Havana and Guadalupe, one on the 25th of October, 1810, the other on the 26th of July, 1825.
