Amazon Deliveroo Investment Landing During Coronavirus Angers Just Eat | Eater London

"The competition regulator suspended its probe and provisionally approved the minority investment after concluding that, at the time, no alternative investors, existing shareholders, or loans would have put the struggling delivery firm in a viable position to survive the COVID-19 disruption. The approval included a window for further evidence from interested parties, and the regulator acknowledged the tension that while the decision prevents immediate market exit, it may also have the effect of reducing competition once short-term pandemic impacts subside." - James Hansen
