pursuant to Article 4 of Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (1) by which Industri Kapital 2000 Ltd (‘IK’,
UK), ultimately controlled by Industri Kapital BV (Netherlands), acquires within the meaning of Article
3(1)(b) of the Council Regulation control of Kwintet A/S (‘KT’, Denmark) by way of purchase of shares.

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

— IK: private equity,

scope of Regulation (EC) No 139/2004. However, the final decision on this point is reserved. Pursuant to

Regulation (EEC) No 139/2004 (2) it should be noted that this case is a candidate for treatment under the
