Filing obligation: Mandatory notice and disclosure obligations apply to acquisitions and mergers to ensure competition review compliance. An acquirer must file Form I or Form II for any acquisition or acquisition of control, signed by authorised persons; where acquisition occurs without consent the acquirer files available information and must procure remaining information within a prescribed period or as directed by the Commission, with time taken to furnish information excluded from certain statutory time limits. Parties to a merger must jointly file the prescribed form. A single notice must cover inter connected steps achieving the ultimate effect of a transaction, and structures intended to avoid filing are disregarded, focusing on the substance and effect of the combination.
