Invitation to comment 
 
Arrangements under which Carpetright plc has entered into leases for four former 
Allied Carpets stores 
 
The Office of Fair Trading is considering whether it is or may be the case that 
a relevant merger situation has been created for the purpose of the Enterprise 
Act 2002. More specifically, the OFT is investigating whether any of the 
arrangements under which Carpetright has entered into leases for the former 
Allied Carpets stores in Grantham, Solihull,  Chester and Cheltenham amount to a 
relevant merger situation and if so whether that situation may be expected to 
result in a substantial lessening of competition within any market or markets in 
the United Kingdom for goods or services that warrants reference to the 
Competition Commission for investigation and report.[1]

[1] If any of these arrangements gives rise to a relevant merger situation, this 
could (by virtue of section 27(5) of the Enterprise Act 2002) extend the OFT's 
jurisdiction to also examine previous acquisitions by Carpetright of Allied 
Carpets stores. The OFT understands that the acquisition of these stores could 
be said to be made under successive arrangements or transactions between the 
same parties or interests and were completed more than four months ago but 
within the previous two years.
