(Case COMP/M.4732 — Terra Firma/EMI)

Candidate case for simplified procedure

(Text with EEA relevance)

(2007/C 133/11)

1.
On 8 June 2007, 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 Terra Firma Group (‘Terra
Firma’, Guernsey) acquires via its newly founded vehicle company Maltby within the meaning of Article 3(1)
(b) of the Council Regulation control of the whole of EMI group plc (‘EMI’, United Kingdom) by way of
public bid announced on 21 May 2007.

2.

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

— for Terra Firma: investment fund,

— for EMI: music recording and music publishing.

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
