Merger Submission\n<\/h5><div class=\"oxy-text-295-109 oxy-text paragraph\">\nA merger is filed by submitting a duly completed Commission form 12 and paying the applicable fee. A merger filing is only deemed complete once the relevant and required information is submitted and the applicable filing fee is paid to the Commission. Incomplete information or none payment of the filing fee results in an incomplete merger filing. The Commission form 12 can be downloaded from the Commission website via a link called forms.\n<\/div><h5 class=\"bde-heading-295-110 bde-heading heading-2\">\n2. Notification\n<\/h5><div class=\"oxy-text-295-111 oxy-text paragraph\">\nNotification can be done either by e-mail, submitting CD-ROM or by submitting one original hard copy file to the Commission. Where notification is done by e-mail and the relevant filing fee has been paid the date the e-mail is received or the money paid whichever comes later, shall be construed as the date of notification. When notification is done by e-mail or CD-ROM the parties should send one original hard copy file to the Commission within 7 days of making the notification.\n<\/div><h5 class=\"bde-heading-295-113 bde-heading heading-2\">\n3. Cost of filing a Merger\n<\/h5><div class=\"oxy-rich-text-295-115 oxy-rich-text\">\n<p>The merger notification fee is calculated as\u00a0<strong>0.1% of the merging parties<\/strong>\u2019 combined annual turnover or value of assets in the Common Market (whichever is higher) with a cap of\u00a0<strong>US$ 200 000<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div><h5 class=\"bde-heading-295-116 bde-heading heading-2\">\n4. Merger Processing\n<\/h5><div class=\"oxy-text-295-114 oxy-text paragraph\">\nIn accordance with Article 25 of the Regulations, the Commission shall examine a merger as soon as the notification is received and must make a decision on the notification within 120 days after receiving the notification. This means that if the Commission does not make a decision on the merger within 120 days, the parties should consider the merger approved. However, if the notification is incomplete, the examination period begins on the day following receipt of complete information.\n<\/div><h5 class=\"bde-heading-295-117 bde-heading heading-2\">\n5.
