This document is a merger notification waiver application lodged with the ACCC, released under FOI, covering a proposed internal ownership restructure of Imagine Education Investments Trust. The restructure concerns 35 long day-care centres operating under the Imagine Childcare, Children First and Grow Early Education brands, held through 34 unit trusts. Parties named include Waterworks Education Group as the applicant, Polar 993 as incoming trustee, and several vendor trusts, all represented by Arnold Bloch Leibler. The applicants state the restructure does not change economic interests or operational control, and the form answers "unsure" on whether the acquisition meets notification thresholds or is otherwise exempt. The document identifies no alleged anti-competitive conduct, enforcement action, penalties or remediation. Supporting materials listed include maps, transaction documents, ACECQA data and signed declarations.
