On 27 May 2008, 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 Nordic Capital (‘Nordic

whole of the undertaking ConvaTec (‘ConvaTec’, USA), a wholly owned business unit of Bristol-Myers

2.

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

— for Nordic Capital: private equity company,

— for ConvaTec: manufacture, marketing and sale of advanced wound care, ostomy and faecal incontinence

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

3.
