Prior notification of a concentration

(Case COMP/M.5245 — Wistron/Lite-On LCD Business)

Candidate case for simplified procedure

(Text with EEA relevance)

(2008/C 169/10)

1.
On 25 June 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 Wistron Corporation
(‘Wistron’, Taiwan) acquires within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Council Regulation control of the
liquid crystal display business of Lite-On Technology Corporation (‘Lite-On LCD Business’, Taiwan) by way
of purchase of assets.

2.

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

— for Wistron: original design manufacturing of personal computer products such as laptops and note-

books for original equipment manufacturers,

— for Lite-On LCD Business: manufacturing of liquid crystal display (LCD)/cathode ray tube (CRT) display

monitors at original equipment manufacturing level.

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 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.
