On 19 February 2008, 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 3M Company (‘3M’, USA) acquires within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the
Council Regulation control of the whole of the undertaking Aero Holding Corporation (‘AERO’, USA) by
way of purchase of shares.

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

industrial and transportation; electronic and communications; health care; consumer and office; display
