khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
outlets familiarity with how their
competitors price and how changing
prices affect fuel sales.
Entry into each relevant market would
not be timely, likely, or sufficient to
deter or counteract the anticompetitive
effects arising from the Acquisition.
Significant entry barriers include the
availability of attractive real estate, the
time and cost associated with
constructing a new retail fuel outlet, and
the time associated with obtaining
necessary permits and approvals.
V. The Consent Agreement
The proposed Order would remedy
the Acquisition’s likely anticompetitive
effects by requiring Casey’s to divest
certain Casey’s and Bucky’s retail fuel
assets to Western Oil II, LLC and Danco
II, LLC (collectively ‘‘Western Oil’’) in
each local market. Western Oil is an
experienced operator or supplier of
retail fuel sites and will be a new
entrant into the local markets.
The proposed Order requires the
divestiture be completed no later than
ten days after Casey’s consummates the
Acquisition. The proposed Order further
requires Casey’s and Bucky’s to
maintain the economic viability,
marketability, and competitiveness of
each divestiture asset until the
divestiture to Western Oil is complete.
In addition to requiring outlet
divestitures, the proposed Order
requires Respondents to provide the
Commission notice before acquiring
retail fuel assets within a fixed distance
of any Casey’s outlet in a market
involving a divestiture for ten years. The
prior notice provision is necessary
because an acquisition in close
proximity to divested assets likely
would raise the same competitive
concerns as the Acquisition and may
fall below the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act
premerger notification thresholds.
The Consent Agreement contains
additional provisions designed to
ensure the effectiveness of the relief. For
example, Respondents have agreed to an
Order to Maintain Assets that will issue
at the time the proposed Consent
Agreement is accepted for public
comment. The Order to Maintain Assets
requires Respondents to operate and
maintain each divestiture outlet in the
normal course of business, through the
date the Respondents complete the
divestiture. The proposed Order also
includes a provision that allows the
Commission to appoint an independent
third party as a Monitor to oversee the
Respondents’ compliance with the
requirements of the Order.
The purpose of this analysis is to
facilitate public comment on the
Consent agreement, and the

interpretation of the proposed Order or
to modify its terms in any way.
By direction of the Commission.
