The Mexican Competition Commission extended for six months its prior authorization of Kansas City Southern's purchase of all TFM S.A. de C.V. shares from Grupo TMM S.A., according to a KCS statement issued Sept. 26.
The Commission placed no conditions on the extension, which KCS requested in order to have additional time to pursue a possible legal battle with TMM over a TFM acquisition agreement signed in April.
"The decision [will] allow the acquisition to be completed during the period of the extension without [us] having to apply once again for authority from the commission," said Ronald Russ, KCS executive vice president and chief operating officer, in a prepared statement.
