OFT statement regarding Sainsbury and Delta Two

116/07    6 August 2007

Contrary to current media speculation regarding a potential bid from investment fund Delta Two for control of J Sainsbury, the Office of Fair Trading has not contacted Delta Two regarding the supermarket chain.

Under its merger procedures, the OFT will not open a case until a formal or informal merger submission is made. No submission has been made in this case and nor has the OFT requested one to date.
