11:48 PM EDT, 10/05/2026 (MT Newswires) -- Irish Continental Group's (ICGC.L, IR5B.IR) proposed takeover by Bluefin Bidco cleared a regulatory hurdle after it satisfied a condition under the UK National Security and Investment Act. ICG's independent board said Monday that the UK Secretary of State notified Bidco it would take no further action on the acquisition. The High Court of Ireland will hear Irish Continental Group's application to sanction the scheme of arrangement on Nov. 10. Completion remains subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the other conditions set out in the scheme document, including court approval.
