I INTRODUCTION
The Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine ('the AMC') is the
authority exclusively responsible for dealing with mergers.
Merger approvals are required whenever a concentration is
consummated, provided that the parties thereto meet or exceed the
relevant financial thresholds. In particular, for the purposes of
the Ukrainian merger control rules, a concentration is deemed to
occur, inter alia, in cases of:
a mergers between undertakings (i.e., when two or more
independent undertakings amalgamate into a new undertaking and
cease to exist as separate legal entities);
b absorption of one undertaking by another (with one
retaining its legal identity and the other ceasing to exist as a
legal entity);
