(‘Sabanci’, Turkey)
acquire within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Council Regulation joint control of Enerjisa Enerji
Üretim A.S. (‘Enerjisa’, Turkey) by way of purchase of shares in an existing company constituting a joint
venture.

— Sabanci: industrial and financial conglomerate that controls more than 60 companies in various business

areas including energy via Enerjisa;
