(Text with EEA relevance)

1.


On 13 January 2010, 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 CD&R Osprey Bidco Limited (UK), a special purpose vehicle which is controlled by Clayton, Dubilier and Rice Fund VIII, L.P. (‘CD&R Fund VIII’, Cayman Islands), ultimately indirectly controlled by Clayton, Dubilier & Rice (‘CD&R’, USA) acquires within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the EC Merger Regulation control of the whole of BCA Holdings Limited (‘BCA’, UK) by way of purchase of shares.










2.


The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:






—


for CD&R: private equity investment,










—


for BCA: used vehicle remarketing services.














3.


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