On 26 March 2020, we published an article titled
'COVID-19: Mergers and Acquisitions must continue to be
notified to the Office for Competition where the notification
obligation under the Control of Concentrations Regulations
applies', which can be accessed
from here.
This note is intended to update our article by taking into
account the information published subsequently by the Office for
Competition (OC) on 27 March 2020. This
information explains how notification forms of notifiable mergers
and acquisitions (referred to as 'concentrations' in the
Regulations) should be submitted to the OC during the COVID-19
outbreak.
The OC announced that the notification form together with all
supporting documents must be submitted to it in electronic format
via email. The information published by the OC can be found
here. This
