Prior notification of a concentration
(Case M.8030 — The Carlyle Group/Crestview Advisors/NEP Group)
Candidate case for simplified procedure
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2016/C 197/07)






1.


On 27 May 2016, the European Commission received a notification of a proposed concentration pursuant to Article 4 of Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (1) by which The Carlyle Group (‘Carlyle’, United States) acquires within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Merger Regulation joint control over the NEP Group (‘NEP’, United States) together with Crestview Advisors (‘Crestview’, United States), which currently has sole control of NEP.










2.


The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:
—   for Carlyle: a global alternative asset manager which invests across four segments — Corporate Private Equity, Real Assets, Global Market Strategies and Investment Solutions,
—   for Crestview: a private equity firm focused on the middle market, targeting investments in the financial services, media, healthcare, industrials and energy sectors,
—   for NEP: a production company that provides outsourced broadcast engineering and production services to production companies and broadcasters around the world for live broadcast major events, such as sports events, award shows, music concerts and studio shows.










3.


On preliminary examination, the Commission finds that the notified transaction could fall within the scope of the Merger Regulation. However, the final decision on this point is reserved. Pursuant to the Commission Notice on a simplified procedure for treatment of certain concentrations under Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (2) it should be noted that this case is a candidate for treatment under the procedure set out in this Notice.










4.


The Commission invites interested third parties to submit their possible observations on the proposed operation to the Commission.
Observations must reach the Commission not later than 10 days following the date of this publication. Observations can be sent to the Commission by fax (+32 22964301), by email to COMP-MERGER-REGISTRY@ec.europa.eu or by post, under reference M.8030 — The Carlyle Group/Crestview Advisors/NEP Group, to the following address:
