The Finnish Competition Authority (“FCA”) approved the proposed acquisition by Keskimaa Osk of Euromarket Jyväskylä from Suomen Lähikauppa Oy. Keskimaa Osk, which belongs to the S-Group, is a conglomerate operating grocery stores, fuel stations and department stores and offering travel and construction services in central Finland. Euromarket Jyväskylä is a supermarket selling consumer and utility goods. The FCA concluded that the proposed acquisition will not create or strengthen such a dominant market position that would significantly impede effective competition in the Finnish market or in any substantial part thereof.
