Ampol Advances Retail Expansion with EG Australia Acquisition Approval
Ampol Limited (ASX: ALD) has cleared a major regulatory hurdle after receiving approval to acquire EG Australia, strengthening its position in the Australian fuel and convenience retail market. To satisfy competition requirements, the company will divest 41 service stations to Metro Petroleum, ensuring continued market competition in affected regions.
The transaction represents a strategic expansion of Ampol’s retail network and is expected to enhance its ability to serve a broader customer base. As part of the deal structure, Ampol has chosen to fund the acquisition entirely in cash, bringing the total cash consideration to approximately AU$1.115 billion.
Management expects the acquisition to deliver meaningful operational benefits, including annual synergies of between AU$65 million and AU$80 million through improved scale and efficiencies. Completion of the transaction is anticipated by the end of June 2026, subject to final requirements being met. The acquisition is expected to strengthen Ampol’s earnings profile, expand its convenience retail presence, and support the company’s long-term growth objectives across Australia.
