On 2 September 2014, the European Commission received notification of a proposed concentration pursuant to Article 4 of Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (1) by which the undertaking Helvetia AG (‘Helvetia’, Switzerland) acquires within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Merger Regulation control of the whole of the undertaking Schweizerische National-Versicherung-Gesellschaft AG (‘Nationale Suisse’, Switzerland) by way of purchase of shares.










2.


The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:






—


Helvetia is a public limited company active in the field of life insurance, non-life insurance and reinsurance; Helvetia is the holding company and main company of the Helvetia Group,










—
