Robyn Smith - President/Publisher: rsmith@nvpublications.com Len Prazych - Vice President The Bureau stated that a review was conducted and concluded with the proposal of the sale of the Kamloops mill. It determined the proposed transaction is anti-com- petitive because it would provide Paper Excellence with monopsony power in a large part of southern B.C. The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quar- ter of this year. Paper Excellence, Domtar Receive Canadian Approval For Merger Paper Excellence B.V. and Domtar Corporation jointly an- nounced that they have received Canadian Competition Act approval for a business merger. Through this merger, Karta Halten B.V., an affiliate of Paper Excellence, will ac- quire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Domtar common stock for $55.50 per share in cash according to an agreement and plan of merger dated May 10, 2021. The Canadian Commissioner of Competition filed the consent agreement, which fulfills the final condition for closing the merger, with the Competition Tribunal. As per the consent agreement, Domtar’s pulp mill in Kamloops, B.C. will be sold after the merger is completed. This is to resolve the Commissioner’s concerns about the implica- tions of this merger on the purchase of wood fibre from the Thompson/Okanagan region in B.C. The Competition Bureau also released a statement not- ing that the agreement was reached to address compe- tition concerns of the merger of two of Canada’s largest pulp and paper manufacturers – Karta Halten B.V. (Paper Excellence) and Domtar Corp.
