The ACCC commence consultation on THL and Apollos proposed divestiture undertaking

Sep 06, 2022

The ACCC is seeking views on a planned court-enforceable undertaking offered by THL and Apollo (ASX: ATL) concerning THL’s proposed acquisition of Apollo (ASX: ATL).

THL and Apollo are into the business of rental, sale and manufacture of recreational vehicles like motorhomes and campervans.

On 28 April 2022, the ACCC via its media release pointed out preliminary competition concerns which will remove THL’s closest and largest competitor in a market where new entry or expansion seem doubtful.

In response to ACCC’s concern, THL and Apollo provided a court-enforceable undertaking under which Apollo will divest 80% of four to six berth motorhomes in its Australian rental fleet. Other than this, proposed undertaking includes the divestment of leases for Apollo rental branches and depots in four places, together with the Apollo Star RV motorhome brand. The divestiture assets will be sold to Jucy, which runs campervan rental businesses in Australia & New Zealand.
