(Case COMP/M.3237 — Sanpaolo IMI/Santander Group/Allfunds/JV)

Candidate case for simplified procedure

(2003/C 268/05)

(Text with EEA relevance)

On 29 October 2003 the Commission received a notification of a proposed concentration pursuant
1.
to Article 4 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 4064/89 (1), as
last amended by Regulation (EC)
No 1310/97 (2), by which the Italian undertaking San Paolo Wealth Management SpA (SPWM)
belonging to San Paolo IMI SpA, acquires, within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Regulation,
joint control of the Spanish undertaking Allfunds Bank (Allfunds), presently controlled by Banco Banif
SA (Banif), belonging to the Santander Group by way of purchase of shares.

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

— SPWM: asset management and insurance,

— Banif: private banking and wealth management,

— Allfunds: distribution platform providing access to third-party fund products and added value advisory

to the Commission notice on a simplified procedure for treatment of certain concentrations under Regu-
lation (EEC) No 4064/89 (3),

procedure set out in the notice.
