Tabcorp has advised shareholders that a court challenge should not affect its timetable to complete an $A11bn merger with Tatts Group. The wagering giant still expects the deal to be completed during the December 2017 quarter, despite a move by the Australian Competition & Consumer Commission to seek a judicial review of the Competition Tribunal’s decision to approve the merger. Tabcorp has indicated that it will push for an expedited hearing of the ACCC’s application to the Federal Court.
