to the group REWE (‘REWE’, Germany) acquire within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Council Regu-
lation joint control of the undertaking EHA Austria Energie-Handels-Gesellschaft mbH (‘EHAA’, Austria) by
way of purchase of shares in a newly created company constituting a joint venture.

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

— for EHA: electricity and gas trading in Germany,
