1.


On 11 October 2013, the Commission received a notification of a proposed concentration pursuant to Article 4 of Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (1) by which Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan (‘OTPP’, Canada) and Ares Management LLC (‘Ares’, USA) acquire within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Merger Regulation joint control of CPG International LLC, (‘CPG’, USA), by way of amendments of the Article of Association.










2.


The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:






—


OTPP: administrates pension benefits and investments in pension plan assets on behalf of active and retired teachers in the Province of Ontario,










—


Ares: an alternative asset manager active in the USA, Europe, Asia and Australia,










—


CPG: active in various fields in the USA, Canada and EEA through the four principal brands it operates: AZEK, TimberTech, Scranton Products and Vycom.
