UK competition watchdog clears LKQ's deal to buy Uni-Select

Sept 15 (Reuters) - Britain's competition regulator on Friday cleared auto parts provider LKQ Corp's LKQ.O C$2.8 billion ($2.07 billion) deal to buy Canada's Uni-Select, after it accepted certain undertakings offered by LKQ to address competition concerns.

"The merger between LKQ and Uni-Select will therefore be referred to Phase 2," the Competition and Markets Authority said.
