Provisional Findings

Booker welcomes today's announcement from the Competition & Markets Authority (CMA) that it has provisionally cleared the company's proposed merger with Tesco plc. 

We are pleased that the CMA has provisionally concluded that this transaction does not lessen competition, and will continue to work with the CMA ahead of its publication of a final decision, expected in December.

We are grateful for the support of customers, suppliers and colleagues during this process.

This announcement contains inside information.
