1.   

On 19 October 2018, 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:

Brookfield Asset Management Inc. (‘Brookfield’, Canada)

M Finance Capital SAS (France)

ECLA Paris Massy-Palaiseau Companies (France).

Brookfield acquires within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Merger Regulation sole control of the whole of M Finance Capital SAS and ECLA Paris Massy-Palaiseau Companies.

The concentration is accomplished by way of purchase of shares.

2.   

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

—   for Brookfield: global asset manager with a focus on property, renewable power, infrastructure and private equity,

—   for M Finance Capital SAS: active in real estate development, student residences management and apartment-hotels management in France and Belgium,

—   for ECLA Paris Massy-Palaiseau Companies: owner of one residency located in France and subcontracting the operation of that property.
