1.
On 27 October 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 Cinven Limited
(‘Cinven’, UK), through its special purpose vehicle Paternoster Acquisitions Limited (‘Paternoster’, UK)
acquires within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Council Regulation control of the whole of the under-
taking Gondola Holdings plc (‘Gondola’, UK) by way of purchase of shares.
