Prior notification of a concentration

Candidate case for simplified procedure

(2006/C 209/04)

(Text with EEA relevance)

1.
On 17 August 2006, 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 Doughty Hanson & Co.
Limited (‘Doughty Hanson’, UK) acquires within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Council Regulation
control of the whole of the Caudwell Group Mobile Distribution Business (‘Mobile Distribution Business’,
UK) by way of purchase of shares.

2.

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

— for the undertaking Doughty Hanson: private equity fund manager;

— for the Mobile Distribution Business: distribution and repair of mobile handsets and accessories, as well
as ancillary services (e.g. customisation/kitting of mobile phones and packaging, sale of tariff-based
contracts to consumers and businesses, sale of mobile phone top-up vouchers) and recruitment of
professionals.

3.
On preliminary examination, the Commission finds that the notified transaction could fall within the
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

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 (fax No (32-2) 296 43 01 or 296 72 44) or by post,
