Report of Independent Accountants

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of

Salomon Brothers Investors Value Fund Inc


In planning and performing our audit of the
financial statements of Salomon Brothers
 Investors Value Fund Inc (the "Fund")
for the year ended December 31, 2001, we
 considered their internal control, including
 control activities for safeguarding securities
, in order to determine our auditing
procedures for the purpose of expressing
our opinion on the financial statements and
 to comply with the requirements of Form
 N-SAR, not to provide assurance on internal control.

The management of the Fund is responsible
 for establishing and maintaining internal
 control.  In fulfilling this responsibility,
 estimates and judgments by management
 are required to assess the expected benefits
 and related costs of controls.  Generally,
 controls that are relevant to an audit pertain
 to the entity's objective of preparing financial
 statements for external purposes that are
 fairly presented in conformity with generally
 accepted accounting principles.  Those controls
 include the safeguarding of assets against
 unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition.
Because of inherent limitations in internal
 control, errors or fraud may occur and not
 be detected.  Also, projection of any evaluation
 of internal control to future periods is subject
 to the risk that controls may become inadequate
 because of changes in conditions or that the
 effectiveness of the design and operation
may deteriorate.
Our consideration of internal control would
not necessarily disclose all matters in internal
 control that might be material weaknesses
 under standards established by the
 American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants.  A material weakness is a
 condition in which the design or operation
 of one or more of the internal control
components does not reduce to a relatively
 low level the risk that misstatements caused
 by error or fraud in amounts that would be
material in relation to the financial statements
 being audited may occur and not be detected
 within a timely period by employees in the
 normal course of performing their assigned
 functions.  However, we noted no matters
 involving internal control and its operation,
 including controls for safeguarding securities,
 that we consider to be material weaknesses as
 defined above as of December 31, 2001.
This report is intended solely for the
 information and use of management and the
 Board of Directors of the Fund and the
 Securities and Exchange Commission and is
 not intended to be and should not be used
 by anyone other than these specified parties.

Prior notification of a concentration

(Case M.8954 — BPEA/PAI/WFC)

Candidate case for simplified procedure

(Text with EEA relevance)

(2018/C 195/12)

1.

On 31 May 2018, the Commission received notification of a proposed concentration pursuant to Article 4 of Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 [(1)](#ntr1-C_2018195EN.01004401-E0001).

This notification concerns the following undertakings:

| | |
| --- | --- |
| — | Baring Asia Private Equity Fund VI (‘BPEA’, Cayman Islands), controlled by Baring Asia (Hong Kong), |

| | |
| --- | --- |
| — | PAI Partners SAS (‘PAI’, France), |

| | |
| --- | --- |
| — | GB WFC International SARL (‘WFC’, Luxembourg). |

BPEA and PAI acquire within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Merger Regulation joint control of the whole of WFC.

The concentration is accomplished by way of purchase of shares.

2.

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

—   for BPEA: private equity fund focused on capital preservation and post-investment value creation investments in Asian countries. BPEA is under common control with other private equity funds that as a whole comprise Baring Asia,

—   for PAI: private equity firm that manages and advises a number of funds that own companies active in a variety of business sectors, such as business services, food and consumer goods, general industries, healthcare, and retail and distribution,

—   for WFC: air cargo general sales and service agent providing outsourced air cargo management services to airlines.

3.

On preliminary examination, the Commission finds that the notified transaction could fall within the scope of the 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 Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 [(2)](#ntr2-C_2018195EN.01004401-E0002) 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. The following reference should always be specified:

M.8954 — BPEA/PAI/WFC
