  • Anticipated Acquisition of 99P Stores Limited by Poundland Group Plc
    Non-confidential ANTICIPATED ACQUISITION OF 99P STORES LIMITED BY POUNDLAND GROUP PLC RESPONSE TO PHASE II STATEMENT OF ISSUES 9 JULY 2015 LON37045457/6 163772-0005 POUNDLAND GROUP PLC Response to the CMA’s Statement of Issues This document is Poundland Group plc’s (Poundland) response to the UK Competition and Markets Authority’s (CMA) statement of issues of 25 June (Statement of Issues) regarding Poundland’s proposed acquisition of 99p Stores Ltd (99p Stores) (the Transaction). Please note that this document contains Poundland confidential information and should not be shared with third parties absent Poundland’s express prior written consent. 1. Executive Summary 1.1 Poundland welcomes the opportunity to provide the CMA with its input on the CMA’s Statement of Issues. 1.2 Poundland believes that the evidence strongly supports the view that this transaction does not pose any risk to competition. On the contrary, Poundland considers that the merger will be pro-competitive – bringing a superior proposition to 99p Stores’ customers, and further enhancing competition along the High Street. 1.3 In particular, the evidence shows that: (a) Poundland competes in a competitive marketplace everywhere it operates. Poundland competes all along the High Street: all of the products that Poundland sells are either available at a supermarket, at a limited assortment discounter (LAD), at another value general merchandiser (VGM), at a specialist retailer or at an independent discounter. Customers are value conscious – they want more for less, can easily switch retailers and do not display any ‘fascia loyalty’ in their quest for value. (b) There is no variation of the offer across the Poundland estate.

  • Chinese Grocery's Age of Empires
    CHINESE GROCERY’S AGE OF EMPIRES TWO GIANT GROUPINGS ARE CARVING UP THE MARKET CHINESE GROCERY’S AGE OF EMPIRES Chinese retail is evolving into two rival empires, each dominated by competing e-commerce giants. One realm is centered on Alibaba, which owns two of China’s largest e-commerce platforms, Taobao and TMall, as well as an electronic payments system, AliPay. The other is an alliance between JD, a leading online retailer, and Tencent, an internet and digital-technology conglomerate that owns WeChat, China’s most popular social-media app. These two empires already own the digital lives of Chinese consumers today, where the average Chinese spends over 60% of their mobile app usage on either ecosystem. Now Alibaba and Tencent/JD have set their sights on physical retail, including acquiring stakes in six of China’s top 10 hypermarkets, the country’s biggest electronics retailer, one of the largest department stores and the largest commercial property and entertainment conglomerate.
