(Case COMP/M.6691 — AXA IMPEE/FIVES)

Candidate case for simplified procedure

(Text with EEA relevance)

2012/C 251/06

1.

On 10 August 2012 the Commission received notification of a proposed concentration pursuant to Article 4 of Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (1) by which the venture capital funds AXA LBO Fund IV Supplementary FCPR (‘AXA LBO Fund IV Supplementary’, France) and AXA LBO Fund V FCPR (‘AXA LBO Fund V’, France), managed by AXA Investment Managers Private Equity Europe SA (‘AXA IMPEE’, France), belonging to the AXA group (‘AXA’, France), acquire within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Merger Regulation control of the entire Fives group (‘Fives’, France) by way of purchase of securities.

2.

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

AXA IMPEE: investment fund,

Fives: industrial engineering.

3.

On preliminary examination, the Commission finds that the notified transaction could fall within the scope of the EC Merger Regulation. However, the final decision on this point is reserved. Pursuant to the Commission Notice on a simplified procedure for treatment of certain concentrations under the EC Merger Regulation (2) it should be noted that this case is a candidate for treatment under the procedure set out in the Notice.

4.

The Commission invites interested third parties to submit their possible observations on the proposed operation to the Commission.

Observations must reach the Commission not later than 10 days following the date of this publication. Observations can be sent to the Commission by fax (+32 22964301), by email to COMP-MERGER-REGISTRY@ec.europa.eu or by post, under reference number COMP/M.6691 — AXA IMPEE/FIVES, to the following address:
