The record key is the ACCC's own matter identifier (e.g. MN-01016), so a matter is addressable at at:///fyi.mergers.matter/MN-01016 without a lookup. Published by mergers.fyi, which mirrors the register; the ACCC is the source and does not itself publish to the ATmosphere. **Key**: `any` | Property | Type | Required | Description | |----------|------|----------|-------------| | `acquirers` | `array` | No | | | `appeals` | `array` | No | | | `consultationClosesOn` | `string` | No | Closing date for submissions to the ACCC's consultation, as YYYY-MM-DD. | | `determinationDueBy` | `string` | No | End of the statutory determination period as YYYY-MM-DD, while one is running. | | `determinations` | `array` | No | Determinations made on the matter, oldest first. Empty while the matter is open. | | `events` | `array` | No | The matter's timeline, oldest first. | | `indexedAt` | `string` (datetime) | Yes | When mergers.fyi last wrote this record. Only moves when something in the matter changed, so it is a real last-changed signal rather than a publishing heartbeat. | | `industries` | `array` | No | | | `matterId` | `string` | Yes | ACCC public register matter identifier, e.g. "MN-01016". Always equal to this record's key. | | `matterType` | `string` | Yes | Whether the matter is a notified acquisition or an application for a notification waiver. | | `notifiedOn` | `string` | No | Effective notification date as YYYY-MM-DD: the date the statutory clock runs from, which is not the original notification date where a matter was refiled or the clock was reset. | | `originallyNotifiedOn` | `string` | No | Date the matter was first notified, as YYYY-MM-DD. Differs from notifiedOn only where the clock was reset. | | `otherParties` | `array` | No | | | `phase` | `string` | No | Stage the matter has reached. A matter referred to phase 2 keeps its phase 1 determination in determinations, and one that moves on to the public benefit phase keeps its phase 2 determination. | | `registerUrl` | `string` (uri) | No | The matter's own page on the ACCC public register - the source of everything in this record. | | `status` | `string` | Yes | | | `summary` | `string` | No | The ACCC's description of the proposed acquisition, as published. The cap is well clear of the longest on the register; anything past it is truncated rather than dropped. | | `targets` | `array` | No | | | `title` | `string` | Yes | Matter name as the register gives it, usually "Acquirer - Target". | | `url` | `string` (uri) | Yes | Canonical page for the matter on mergers.fyi. | ## Raw Schema ```json { "$type": "com.atproto.lexicon.schema", "defs": { "main": { "description": "One merger matter on the ACCC's public acquisitions register: an acquisition notified under Australia's mandatory merger regime, or an application for a notification waiver.
