Statement Of Preliminary Issues Released For St John's Application To Acquire Certain Medical Alarm From Securely
The Commerce Commission has published a statement of preliminary issues relating to an application from The Priory in New Zealand of the Most Venerable Order of the Hospital of St John of Jerusalem (St John) seeking clearance to acquire certain assets from Electra Limited, which trades as Securely.
The statement outlines the key competition issues that the Commission considers important in deciding whether or not to grant clearance to the proposed acquisition.
The Commission invites interested parties to provide comments on the likely competitive effects of the proposed acquisition. Submissions can be sent by email to registrar@comcom.govt.nz with the reference “St John/Securely” in the subject line. Any submissions should be received by close of business on 31 January 2024.
The Commission is currently scheduled to make a decision on the application by 29 February 2024. However, this date may be extended as the investigation progresses.
The Statement of Preliminary Issues and a public version of the application can be found on the Commission’s case register.
