“Odds with sporting bet about the ACCC passing this deal as is”
Well hotnhigh, given “that the ACCC decided to revoke the interim authorisation granted on 17 January 2013, and grant new interim conditional authorisation on the same terms as the authorisation”, don’t think Sporting bet will be paying out on passing the deal as it was.
That today’s decision actually states
In response to queries raised by the ACCC and some interested parties about the applicants’ related bodies corporate and related services sought to be covered by the authorisation, the applicants amended their applications to exclude the supply of catering and aircraft cleaning operations from the scope of the authorisation, and also confirmed that Jetstar Asia, Jetstar Japan, Jetstar HK, Jetstar Pacific and any related body corporate of Qantas in which Qantas holds 50% or less of the allotted share capital are excluded from the scope of the authorisation sought.
Says it all really.
