On 8 May 2014, the ACCC announced that it had accepted an undertaking (the Undertaking) from Shahin Enterprises Pty Ltd (the main operating entity of Peregrine, Shahin) in relation to its proposed acquisition of 25 service station sites from BP Australia Pty Ltd (BP), comprising:
16 sites in metropolitan Adelaide (the Proposed Acquisition); and
nine sites in regional South Australia.
The ACCC considered that, in the absence of this Undertaking, the Proposed Acquisition would have the effect, or would be likely to have the effect, of substantially lessening competition in the retail supply of petrol in local markets surrounding each of the following BP sites:
BP Westbourne Park;
BP Elizabeth Vale;
BP Mitchell Park; and
BP Mile End (each a Local Market).
The ACCC considered that these BP sites and existing Shahin sites in each Local Market are close competitors to each other; taking into account their geographic location, the goods and services that they supply, and the types of customers to which they cater.
Shahin already operates a high proportion of the sites in each Local Market.

The ACCC has accepted a section 87B undertaking from Peter McInnes Pty Ltd ACN 000 445 269 (Peter McInnes) following an investigation into resale price maintenance conduct likely to contravene section 48 of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010.

To address the ACCC’s concerns Peter McInnes provided the ACCC with a court-enforceable undertaking that it will:
refrain from engaging in resale price maintenance for two years;
write to all of its KitchenAid stand mixer customers informing them that they are free to set their own minimum prices for products supplied to them by Peter McInnes;
issue directions to its employees that they should refrain from expressing to those customers any hostility or criticism about the customers discounting below the recommended retail price; and
