Prior notification of a concentration
(Case M.8878 — SEB / ALI)
Candidate case for simplified procedure
(Text with EEA relevance)

1.


On 19 April 2018, the Commission received notification of a proposed concentration pursuant to Article 4 of Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (1).
This notification concerns the following undertakings:






—


Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken AB (Sweden, ‘SEB’),










—


Aura Light International AB (Netherlands, ‘ABI’), currently controlled by FSN Capital Holding Jersey Limited.




SEB acquires within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Merger Regulation sole control of ALI.
The concentration is accomplished by way of contractual provisions.










2.


The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:
—   for SEB: offers a wide range of financial services to retail and corporate customers;
—   for ALI: development, manufacture and sale of lighting solutions to business customers.










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 the 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 the Notice.
