Prior notification of a concentration

(Case COMP/M.3712 — LGB/Klöckner)

Candidate case for simplified procedure

(2005/C 27/02)

(Text with EEA relevance)

1.
On 25 January 2005, the Commission received a notification of a proposed concentration pursuant
to Article 4 of Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (1) by which the undertaking LGB-K, LLC (‘LGB-K’,
U.S.A.) acquires within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Council Regulation control of the whole of
the undertaking Klöckner & Co. AG (‘Klöckner’, Germany) by way of purchase of shares.

2.

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

— LGB-K: investment in shareholdings in companies of various sectors with the aim of ensuring their

growth and to increase their values,

— Klöckner: trade, distribution, processing and storage of steel, distribution of aluminium, other metals

and plastics.

On preliminary examination, the Commission finds that the notified transaction could fall within the
3.
scope of Regulation (EC) No 139/2004. However, the final decision on this point is reserved. Pursuant to
the Commission Notice on a simplified procedure for treatment of certain concentrations under Council
Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (2) it should be noted that this case is a candidate for treatment under the
procedure set out in the Notice.

The Commission invites interested third parties to submit their possible observations on the proposed

4.
operation to the Commission.

Observations must reach the Commission not later than 10 days following the date of this publication.
Observations can be sent to the Commission by fax (No (32-2) 296 43 01 or 296 72 44) or by post,
