The concerns relate to the supply of farming titles in Northern Ireland following Johnston's acquisition of Local Press Ltd last November.
Johnston has entered into an agreement to sell the assets to the wholly owned subsidiary of Irish News, Farm Week Ltd for an undisclosed sum.
Gross assets include the value of publishing titles involved in the transaction are £3 million.
The 11,299-circulation weekly paid for title targets the agricultural community in Northern Ireland and was acquired by Johnston as part of Score Press in August of last year.
