The extension is primarily due to pending Competition Authority approval, which introduces a timeline delay and minor execution risk but confirms the ongoing commitment of both parties to the transaction. This filing does not suggest the deal is at risk of collapse, nor does it alter the fundamental economics of the originally announced disposal.
