1.
On 8 August 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 TDK Corporation (‘TDK’,
Japan) acquires within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Council Regulation control of the whole of the
undertaking Epcos AG (‘Epcos’, Germany) by way of public bid announced on 31 July 2008.

2.

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

— for TDK: development, production and sale of (i) electronic materials and components, including passive
and electromechanical components and (ii) recording media including audiotapes, videotapes, CD-Rs,
Minidiscs, DVDs and tape-based data storage media for computers,

— for Epcos: development, production and sale of electronic components, in particular passive electro-

mechanical components.

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