FTC就Valvoline收购Greenbriar约200家快速换油门店案敲定同意令，要求剥离45家门店
FTC Finalizes Consent Order in Valvoline-Greenbriar Deal
美国联邦贸易委员会（FTC）敲定同意令，要求在Valvoline收购Greenbriar约200家快速换油门店的交易中剥离45家门店，以回应竞争关切。FTC诉状称，交易可能消除两家公司在25个地方市场提供快速换油服务时的直接竞争；最终命令规定，由Main Street Auto LLC收购这些门店，并以Oil Changers名义运营。委员会在公开评论期后以2比0投票批准最终命令。
最终同意令要求剥离45家快速换油门店，以回应收购交易涉及的竞争关切。
The Federal Trade Commission finalized a consent order resolving antitrust concerns related to a deal between Valvoline Inc. and private equity firm Greenbriar Equity Fund V., L.P. (Greenbriar).
The consent order requires the divestiture of 45 quick-lube oil change shops to address antitrust concerns surrounding Valvoline’s acquisition of approximately 200 quick-lube oil change outlets from Greenbriar. The FTC’s complaint alleges that acquisition would eliminate competition across 25 local markets where Valvoline and Oil Changers, a subsidiary of Greenbriar, directly compete in offering quick-lube oil changes. Under the terms of the FTC’s final order, Main Street Auto LLC will acquire the divested outlets from Greenbriar and operate them under the name Oil Changers.
The order will protect Americans from higher prices for quick-lube oil changes and lower quality quick-lube oil change services in California, Kentucky, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Washington and Wisconsin.
Following a public comment period, the Commission voted 2-0 to approve the final order.
