You don't necessarily have to operate in the same market to create competition issues, although it's the most obvious. Vertical integration, of any description, can result in two markets being distorted by one merger especially if it makes one supermassive company that has a significant market share in both markets.

There's also a world of difference between being a shareholder and owning 100% and having operating control.
