	DSN Retailing Today: Safeway sale to alter U.K. food landscape. - Competition regulators will decide on Wal-Mart's bid for Safeway UK
		The Safeway and Morrison deal would appear to have the best chance of clearing regulatory hurdles because the two companies have little overlap in their base of stores and the combination is presumed to create a stronger fourth player in the U.K.'s already highly consolidated grocery business.
		An acquisition of Safeway by Wal-Mart would certainly require divesting a to-be-determined number of stores as is also the case with J. Sainsbury who, even though it hasn't submitted an official bid to Safeway shareholders, is proposing to divest 90 of Safeway's 477 stores.
		Morrison supermarket chain, the U.K.'s distant fifth-largest operator, announced on Jan. 9 that it had reached a merger agreement with Safeway involving an all stock offer valued at approximately $4.7 billion.

	Wal-Mart Bid on Supermarkets In U.K. Is Move to Thwart Rival DEBORAH BALL / Wall Street Journal 11dec03
		LONDON—Wal-Mart Stores Inc. has approached British supermarket group Safeway PLC with an offer to buy part of its business for nearly £2 billion ($3.5 billion), in a move aimed at foiling a rival offer for the country's No. 4 grocer.
		Safeway PLC isn't related to Safeway Inc. of the U.S. The move is the latest twist in a saga that began in January, when Morrison's put forth a bid then valued at £2.5 billion for Safeway, considered the last piece of the consolidation puzzle in U.K. food retailing.
		According to people familiar with the situation, Wal-Mart's U.K. chain, Asda, has approached Safeway with an indicative offer of £2 billion to buy 70 of its stores.

	Tesco joins the Safeway bidding game
		Tesco, being the UK's biggest food retailer, would also have to sell many Safeway stores to satisfy the OFT, but Leahy said that the company's leading position in the market made it the best-placed company to lead any restructuring of the UK market.
		While stressing that Tesco was ready to work closely with the OFT to ensure that any deal left the UK market competitive, Leahy said that the Safeway portfolio of stores was in fact largely complementary to Tesco's own estate.
		As a result, he said, Tesco should be able to retain around three-quarters of Safeway's stores.

		The Sunday Times said the bid is likely to value Safeway at around 280p a share, and Morrison is set to raise around 600 million pounds from the sale of 52 Safeway stores that the UK government has ordered for competition reasons.
		Safeway shareholders have secured a slightly higher monetary price than the original offer in January, while Morrison shareholders will have a greater holding in the combined business going forward because of the cash element, it added.

		Morrison has drawn up plans to boost its product range and to sell more non-food items in Safeway stores.
		But assuming Morrison and Safeway can agree a new deal in the wake of the CC report, one consequence, according to analysts, will be a fall in food prices of about 10 per cent over the next few years.
		The demise of Safeway will accelerate a quiet revolution on Britain's high streets that should be good news for consumers but lead to even more ferocious competition among supermarket giants.
