Reginn and Eik merger – settlement talks, request for views

23 April 2024
Snowcap Mountain

The Competition Authority has
undanfarið haft til rannsóknar yfirtöku Regins hf. á Eik fasteignafélagi hf. Fyrr
í málinu gaf eftirlitið út andmælaskjal um skaðleg áhrif samrunans, þar sem að
öllu óbreyttu þyrfti að íhlutast vegna viðskiptanna. Í kjölfarið óskaði Reginn
hf. eftir sáttaviðræðum við Samkeppniseftirlitið sem nú standa yfir. 

Reginn hf. hefur lagt fram
tillögur að skilyrðum fyrir mögulega sátt:

  • Samantekt um tillögur Regins hf. og helstu álitaefni
    eru reifuð here 
  • Drög Regins hf. að sátt og skilyrðum, án trúnaðarupplýsinga
    eru here 

Þegar samrunaaðilar leggja fram
tillögur að breytingum eða skilyrðum í tilefni af frummati samkeppnisyfirvalda
er að jafnaði framkvæmt svokallað markaðspróf (e. market test) á viðkomandi
tillögum. Í markaðsprófi felst meðal annars að hagaðilum eru kynntar viðkomandi
tillögur og óskað sjónarmiða þeirra.

Samkeppniseftirlitið hefur sent
helstu markaðsaðilum bréf með ósk um sjónarmið og svör um álitaefni er tengjast
sáttatillögunum. Bréfið inniheldur efnislega það sama og samantektin.

Öllum hagaðilum er hér með
gefinn kostur á að koma á framfæri sjónarmiðum um sáttatillögur Regins hf. Samkeppniseftirlitið vísar sérstaklega til
umfjöllunar í samantektinni um tillögur félagsins að aðgerðum til að eyða neikvæðum
áhrifum samrunans á samkeppni. Óskað er eftir sjónarmiðum og sérstökum umsögnum
um þau álitaefni og þær spurningar sem reifaðar eru í samantektinni.

Þar sem skammur frestur er eftir
í samrunamáli Regins hf. og Eikar fasteignafélags hf. er frestur til þess að
koma á framfæri sjónarmiðum til og með mánudeginum 29. apríl nk. and
skulu þau berast á gogn@samkeppni.is merkt
Reginn og Eik – markaðspróf.

Árétta ber að það frummat
Samkeppniseftirlitsins í málinu sem reifað er í skjalinu að framan getur tekið
breytingum með hliðsjón af framkomnum sjónarmiðum samrunaaðila og sjónarmiðum
sem berast kunna í yfirstandandi markaðsprófun, ef til þess standa rök og
upplýsingar. Þá hefur Reginn, eins og áður segir, óskað eftir sáttaviðræðum í
málinu, Samkeppniseftirlitið fallist á slíkar viðræður, og félagið lagt fram
sáttatillögur. Lyktir málsins ráðast því annars vegar af því hvert endanlegt
mat Samkeppniseftirlitsins á samkeppnislegum áhrifum yfirtökunnar verða miðað
við fyrirliggjandi gögn, og hins vegar vilja aðila til að setja samrunanum
skilyrði sem miða að því að tryggja virka samkeppni og hagsmuni viðskiptavina
og almennings af samkeppni í útleigu atvinnuhúsnæðis.
