Following a public comment period, the Federal Trade Commission has approved a final
Order settling charges that The Coca-Cola Company’s $12.3 billion acquisition of its largest North American bottler, which also distributes Dr Pepper brand carbonated soft drinks in specific geographic markets, would have been anticompetitive. The order requires Coca-Cola to limit access to the confidential competitive business information of rival Dr Pepper Snapple Group.
The Commission vote approving the final Order was 4-0-1, with Commissioner Edith Ramirez recused. The Order can be found on the FTC’s website and as a link to this press release.
