( July 3, 2026, 13:03 GMT | Official Statement) -- MLex Summary: Brazil’s competition authority published the clearance of Grupo Argenta’s proposed acquisition of AmericanOil, Metta Diesel, and related fuel distribution and retail assets in the country's Official Journal. The transaction was notified under the fast-track procedure in May and was later ordered by the Superintendence to undergo a full-form review. The deal was unconditionally approved because it was deemed unlikely to enable Grupo Argenta to exert market power.See Official Journal publication below and report attached....
