Intro: Imperial Tobacco Group PLC notes the OFT's announcement that it will today issue a Statement of Objections ("SO") to multiple retailers and tobacco manufacturers in its investigation into the retail pricing of tobacco products.
Imperial Tobacco will review the SO in detail and provide its response to the OFT in due course.
The OFT has emphasised that it will not be in a position to decide if there has been an infringement of competition law until it has received responses from all the recipients of the SO.
Imperial Tobacco takes compliance with competition law very seriously and rejects any suggestion that it has acted in any way contrary to the interests of consumers.
