1.


On 18 September 2014, the Commission received a notification of a proposed concentration pursuant to Article 4 of Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (1) by which the undertakings SCI Vendome Commerces (France) and Hammerson plc (‘Hammerson’, the United Kingdom) acquire within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Merger Regulation joint control of a real estate portfolio by way of purchase of shares.

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

SCI Vendome Commerces is a 100 % subsidiary of AXA France Insurance companies. AXA is a global insurance group active in life, health and other forms of insurance, as well as in investment management,
