On 15 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 the undertaking Investor AB (‘Investor’, Sweden), controlled by the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation, acquires within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Merger Regulation control of the whole of the undertaking Saab AB (‘SAAB’, Sweden) by way of purchase of shares.










2.


The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:






—


for Investor: industrial holding company with business operations divided into core investments, operating investments, private equity investments and financial investments,










—


for SAAB: development, production and sale/distribution of military defence, commercial aerospace and civil security products and services.
