Merger notification requirement

Our company is undergoing an indirect change of control at the parent company level. The group has subsidiaries operating in both Tanzania and Kenya. Where would the change of control/merger notification application need to be filed?

AA, Mwanza

The filing requirement will depend on whether the transaction meets the applicable merger control thresholds and jurisdictional tests in each country. Since the group has subsidiaries in both Tanzania and Kenya, the transaction may trigger notification obligations in both jurisdictions. However, also depending on the regional turnover/asset thresholds and the nature of the transaction, a filing before the East African Community Competition Authority (EACCA) may suffice.
