Start of CMA Merger Investigation: ANTICIPATED ACQUISITION OF AN INTEREST IN AMT-061 BY CSL BEHRING LLC FROM UNIQURE BIOPHARMA BV

The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) is considering whether it is or may be the case that this transaction, if carried into effect, will result in the creation of a relevant merger situation under the merger provisions of the Enterprise Act 2002 and, if so, whether the creation of that situation may be expected to result in a substantial lessening of competition within any market or markets in the United Kingdom for goods or services. The CMA has reached the preliminary view that this transaction will not result in the creation of a relevant merger situation because it will not result in two or more enterprises ceasing to be distinct.

The CMA announced the launch of its merger inquiry by notice to the Parties on 6 November 2020 and has a deadline of Wednesday, 6 January 2021 for its phase 1 decision.
