In an announcement to the Australian Securities Exchange, MG said the former provisional date was delayed because the ACCC wanted more time to consider data and other information.
ACCC is investigating whether competition at the farmgate for milk would be reduced if the sale of MG to the Canadian dairy giant goes through.
MG said it would continue to work with the ACCC to assist in its review.
It said it still expected the sale to Saputo to be completed in the first half of this year.
