Competition Act Approval Clause Samples
The Competition Act Approval clause requires that a transaction or agreement receive clearance or approval under applicable competition or antitrust laws before it can proceed. In practice, this means that the parties must submit the necessary filings to competition authorities and wait for confirmation that the deal does not raise anti-competitive concerns. This clause ensures that the transaction complies with legal requirements, preventing delays or legal challenges due to competition law violations.

Competition Act Approval. On or before the Closing Date, the Purchaser will have received Competition Act Approval and such approval will not have been withdrawn.
Competition Act Approval. The Competition Act Approval shall have been obtained on terms satisfactory to Purchaser acting reasonably and shall be in full force and effect.
Competition Act Approval. The Transaction is a ‘‘notifiable transaction’’ for the purposes of Part IX of the Competition Act. When a transaction is a notifiable transaction under the Competition Act, certain prescribed information must be provided to the Commissioner under Part IX of the Competition Act and the transaction may not be completed until the expiry, waiver or termination of the applicable waiting period. Where a notification is made, the waiting period is 30 calendar days after the day on which the parties to the transaction submit the prescribed information, provided that, before the expiry of this period, the Commissioner has not notified the parties that he requires additional information that is relevant to the Commissioner’s assessment of the transaction (a ‘‘Supplementary Information Request’’). If the Commissioner provides the parties with a Supplementary Information Request, the parties cannot complete their transaction until 30 calendar days after compliance with such Supplementary Information Request, provided that there is no order in effect prohibiting completion at the relevant time. The Commissioner may, upon application by the parties to a proposed transaction, issue an Advance Ruling Certificate under Section 102 of the Competition Act where he is satisfied that he would not have sufficient grounds on which to apply to the Competition Tribunal (the ‘‘Tribunal’’) for an order under Section 92 of the Competition Act. Further, if the transaction to which the Advance Ruling Certificate relates is substantially completed within one year after the Advance Ruling Certificate is issued, the Commissioner cannot seek an order of the Tribunal under Section 92 of the Competition Act in respect of the transaction solely on the basis of information that is the same or substantially the same as the information on the basis of which the Advance Ruling Certificate was issued. The Commissioner may decide to challenge the Transaction under Section 92 of the Competition Act if he is of the view that the Transaction is likely to prevent or lessen competition substantially, and may also apply to the Tribunal for an injunction to prevent its closing pending the Tribunal’s determination of his challenge to the Transaction. Completion of the Transaction is subject to receipt of Competition Approval, meaning: (a) the issuance of an Advance Ruling Certificate; or (b) the applicable waiting period under Section 123 of the Competition Act has expired or been waived and a No Action L...
