Footnotes

1   Between November 2020 and April 2022, the KPPU had relaxed some of the enforcement rules to help the country's economy recover from the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. As part of the relaxed rules, the post-merger notification deadline was doubled from 30 to 60 business days after the transaction became effective. The relaxation of the rules was in force until 1 May 2022 when the deadline for submitting the notification obligation returned to 30 business days. The closing date is included the 30 business days deadline.
