1.


On 12 April 2010, the Commission received a notification of a proposed concentration pursuant to Article 4 of Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (1) by which Oaktree Capital Group LLC (‘Oaktree’, USA) acquires within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Merger Regulation control of the whole of Aleris International Inc.

—


for Oaktree: alternative and non-traditional investment funds,
