Prior notification of a concentration

(Case COMP/M.4217 — Providence/Carlyle/UPC Sweden)

(2006/C 111/04)

(Text with EEA relevance)

1.
On 24 April 2006, the Commission received a notification of a proposed concentration pursuant to
Article 4 of Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (1), by which Carlyle Europe Partners II L. P. (‘Carlyle’,
USA) and Providence Equity Offshore Partners V LP (‘Providence’, Cayman Islands ) acquire, within the
meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Council Regulation, joint control of Nordic Broadband Services AB (‘UPC
Sweden’, Sweden), by way of purchase of shares.

2.

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

— for Carlyle: private global investment firm;

— for Providence: private investment fund of Providence Equity Partners Inc. which is a global private

investment firm specializing in equity investments in media and communications companies;

— for UPC Sweden: provision of cable TV and internet services in Sweden.

On preliminary examination, the Commission finds that the notified concentration could fall within

3.
the scope of Regulation (EC) No 139/2004. However, the final decision on this point is reserved.

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,
