  • ANALYSIS of AGREEMENT CONTAINING CONSENT ORDERS to AID PUBLIC COMMENT in the Matter of Koninklijke Ahold N.V./Safeway Inc., File No
    ANALYSIS OF AGREEMENT CONTAINING CONSENT ORDERS TO AID PUBLIC COMMENT In the Matter of Koninklijke Ahold N.V./Safeway Inc., File No. 121-0055, Docket No. I. Introduction and Background The Federal Trade Commission (“Commission”) has accepted for public comment, and subject to final approval, an Agreement Containing Consent Orders (“Consent Agreement”) from Koninklijke Ahold N.V. (“Ahold”), its subsidiary, Giant Food Stores, LLC (“Giant”), Safeway Inc. (“Safeway”), and its subsidiary (“Genuardi’s”) (collectively “Respondents”), that is designed to remedy the anticompetitive effects that otherwise would result from Ahold’s acquisition of certain Genuardi’s supermarkets owned by Safeway. The proposed Consent Agreement requires divestiture of the Genuardi’s supermarket in Newtown, Pennsylvania, and its related assets to a Commission-approved purchaser. The proposed Consent Agreement also requires Ahold and Safeway to divest all related assets and real property necessary to ensure the buyer of the divested supermarket will be able to quickly and fully replicate the competition that would have been eliminated by the acquisition. The proposed Consent Agreement has been placed on the public record for 30 days to solicit comments from interested persons. Comments received during this period will become part of the public record. After 30 days, the Commission again will review the proposed Consent Agreement and comments received, and decide whether it should withdraw the Consent Agreement, modify it, or make it final without modification. On January 4, 2012, Ahold and Safeway executed an agreement whereby Ahold would acquire 16 of the Genuardi’s supermarkets from Safeway. The Commission’s Complaint alleges that the proposed acquisition, if consummated, would violate Section 7 of the Clayton Act, as amended, 15 U.S.C.
