The inquiry group of CMA panel members must decide whether a relevant merger situation has been created and, if so, whether the creation of that situation has resulted, or may be expected to result, in a substantial lessening of competition within any market or markets in the UK for goods or services. The inquiry group must report by 24 May.
Xchanging Holdings Limited and Xchanging, Inc. (Xchanging) and Agencyport supply specialist software to the insurance market, in particular insurers and reinsurers and Lloyd’s of London (Lloyd’s) registered managing agents.
