In this article:
LONDON (Reuters) - Britain's competition regulator said on Tuesday it expected to publish its final report on supermarket group Sainsbury's proposed takeover of Walmart-owned rival Asda on Thursday, April 25.
The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) had said in its provisional report in February that the 7.3 billion pound ($9.5 billion) deal should either be blocked entirely or require the sale of a significant number of stores, or even one of the brands.
