  • The Acquisition of Kenolkobil Plc by Rubis Energie Sas
    THE ACQUISITION OF KENOLKOBIL PLC BY RUBIS ENERGIE SAS. 1. The Competition Authority of Kenya (CAK) approved the acquisition of KenolKobil Plc by Rubis Energie SAS. 2. Rubis Energie SAS (Rubis), the acquirer, is a subsidiary of Rubis SCA, an international firm that deals in the storage, distribution and sale of petroleum, liquefied petroleum gas, food and chemical products. 3. Rubis distributes petroleum products, liquid petroleum gas and bitumen across Europe, the Caribbean and Africa. Rubis does not directly or indirectly control any undertakings in Kenya and, therefore, does not have relevant turnover or assets within the country. 4. KenolKobil Plc (KenolKobil), the target, is incorporated in Kenya and is listed on the Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE). Rubis presently owns 24.99% of KenolKobil’s issued shares. 5. KenolKobil Plc is a holding company for KenolKobil Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Ethiopia and Burundi. These subsidiaries engage in the importation, storage, marketing and retail of petroleum products. 6. The proposed transaction, as per a public offer by Rubis, will result in Rubis making a cash offer of KES 23 per share for 1,182,968,076 shares, thereby taking 100% control of KenolKobil. 7. The proposed transaction qualified as a merger within the meaning of Section 2 and 41 of the Competition Act No.12 of 2010. The combined turnover of the parties is over Ksh. 1 Billon for the preceding year (2017) and, therefore, the transaction meets the threshold for full merger analysis as provided in the Merger Threshold Guidelines. 8. For purposes of analysing the proposed transaction, the Authority determined that the relevant product markets are: i.
