On 18 May 2017, the Commission received notification of a proposed concentration pursuant to Article 4 of Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (1) by which HNA Group Co., Ltd (‘HNA Group’, China) acquires within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Merger Regulation sole control over CWT Limited (‘CWT’, Singapore), by way of a voluntary conditional offer.










2.


The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:
—   HNA Group: conglomerate with investments in airlines, real estate and hodings, hotels, shipping, logistics, capital management, ecological technology and leasing companies. The core focus of HNA Group is China and the Asia region, and with activities in the European Union.
—   CWT: is a corporation listed on the Mainboard of the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited that provides integrated logistics solutions and related services ancilliary to its core logistics business. The majority of its activities are in Asia Pacific. In the European Union, CWT’s activities relate mainly to logistics services and commodity marketing.
