Prior notification of a concentration

(Case COMP/M.4684 — AIG/Orco/Hospitality Invest)

Candidate case for simplified procedure

(Text with EEA relevance)

(2007/C 218/05)

1.
On 6 September 2007, the Commission received a notification of a proposed concentration pursuant
to Article 4 and following a referral pursuant to Article 4(5) of Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (1) by
which the undertaking American International Group, Inc. (‘AIG’, United States) acquires within the meaning
of Article 3(1)(b) of the Council Regulation joint control of the undertaking Hospitality Invest S.á.r.l.
(‘Hospitality Invest’, Luxembourg), currently solely controlled by the Orco Property Group (‘Orco’,
Luxembourg), by way of purchase of shares.

2.

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

— for undertaking AIG: general insurance, life insurance and retirement services,

— for undertaking Orco: investment in real estate and in hospitality.

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

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 ((32-2) 296 43 01 or 296 72 44) or by post, under
