(Text with EEA relevance)

(2020/C 427/07)

1.

On 3 December 2020, 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),

Mansa Investments Sp. z o.o. (‘Mansa’), indirectly controlled by Ms Dominika Kulczyk (both of Poland),

Polenergia S.A. (‘Polenergia’), indirectly controlled by Ms Dominika Kulczyk (both of Poland).

Brookfield and Mansa acquire within the meaning of Articles 3(1)(b) and 3(4) of the Merger Regulation joint control of parts of Polenergia.

The concentration is accomplished by way of purchase of securities.

2.

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

for Brookfield: global asset management focusing on property, renewable power, infrastructure and private equity,

for Mansa: a holding company for Ms Dominika Kulczyk (a natural person) controlling Polenergia S.A.,
