Diederik Schrijvershof and Leah Peeters are assisting Mediq, Eurocept Homecare and Excellent Clinics in obtaining approval from the Dutch Authority for Consumers & Markets ("ACM") for their proposed merger. On May 18, 2021, the ACM determined that a license was required for the acquisition. This license was applied for on June 25, 2021.
During the second phase investigation prior to the license grant, the ACM will conduct further investigation into the impact of the acquisition on the market for the supply of ambulatory infusion pumps and the market for the supply of enteral nutrition to patients.
