1.   

On 31 January 2024, the Commission received notification of a proposed concentration pursuant to Article 4 of Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (1).

This notification concerns the following undertakings:

—

CVC Capital Partners SICAV-FIS S.A. (‘CVC’, Luxembourg),

—

DIF Management Holding B.V. and its subsidiaries (‘DIF’, Netherlands).

CVC will acquire within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Merger Regulation sole control of the whole of DIF.

The concentration is accomplished by way of purchase of shares.

2.   

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are the following:

—

CVC is part of the CVC Network, a private equity and investment advisory firm, which provides investment advice to, and/or manages investments on behalf of, certain funds and investment vehicles with assets under management globally,

—

DIF is an independent infrastructure equity fund manager with assets under management, primarily across Europe, the Americas and Australasia.
