Mars收購Kellanova獲美FTC批准 歐盟調查恐延遲交易




美國聯邦貿易委員會批准Mars收購包裝食品巨頭Kellanova,結束近一年調查

Investing.com報導,美國聯邦貿易委員會(FTC)於周三宣布,糖果巨頭Mars提出的360億美元收購包裝食品公司Kellanova(紐約證券交易所代號:K)案,不構成反競爭行為,該監管機構已完成對此交易的審查。

FTC在新聞稿中指出,這宗合併「不符合反競爭合併的標準」。這項決定是在經過近一年的調查後作出。Mars行政總裁Poul Weihrauch和Kellanova行政總裁Steve Cahillane均在新聞稿中對FTC的決定表示歡迎。

不過,這項決定公布後僅數小時,歐盟委員會便宣布對Mars與Kellanova的合併展開深入調查,關注Mars可能在包裝食品市場取得不公平優勢,最終可能導致消費者面臨更高價格。

由於歐盟的調查,該交易預料將會延期。歐盟委員會指出,雙方在多個產品類別中均擁有強勁市場地位,合併後可能增強整體議價能力及市場影響力。

雙方公司在聯合聲明中表示:「Mars與Kellanova預計該交易將於2025年底完成。」

Kellanova於2023年底從Kellogg分拆出來,並於2024年8月收到Mars的收購邀約。

評論分析:

這宗Mars收購Kellanova的交易,反映了食品行業持續整合的趨勢。美國FTC的審慎判斷顯示,儘管合併規模龐大,但在美國市場尚未達到足以威脅競爭的程度。然而,歐盟的反壟斷調查則提醒我們,全球市場環境複雜多變,監管態度存在差異。

這種跨國監管的矛盾,可能會成為未來大型跨國合併的關鍵挑戰。企業在擴張時不僅要考慮本土市場的監管,更要兼顧不同地區的政策與市場結構。尤其在食品這類與消費者日常生活密切相關的行業,價格和市場壟斷問題更受關注。

另外,Kellanova作為傳統品牌的分拆與重組,亦反映出大型企業追求靈活經營與聚焦核心業務的策略轉變。對投資者來說,了解這類企業如何在激烈競爭中尋找增長點,將是評估其長遠價值的關鍵。

總括而言,這次交易及其監管過程,提供了一個洞察全球食品行業競爭格局與監管環境的絕佳案例。投資者應密切留意後續歐盟調查結果,因為這將直接影響交易能否順利完成及行業未來走向。
