🇬🇧 English

This notice says HSG and Temasek plan to take joint control of Golden Goose by buying shares, and the European Commission is reviewing whether the deal falls under EU merger rules. Golden Goose is a footwear and apparel business, so the main people affected are the parties to the deal and their competitors, suppliers, and customers in that market. The notice also invites third parties to comment within 10 days. For businesses watching the sector, the practical point is that the transaction is still pending and may be handled under the Commission’s simplified merger process if no competition issues appear.
