Prior notification of a concentration
(Case M.9008 — Elixia Holding/TryghedsGruppen/Fitness DK Holding)
Candidate case for simplified procedure
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2018/C 245/05)

1.   
On 5 July 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:






—


Elixia Holding S.a.r.l (‘Elixia’, Sweden), controlled by Altor Funds (Norway),










—


TryghedsGruppen smba (‘TryghedsGruppen’, Denmark).










—


Fitness DK (‘Fitness DK’, Denmark).




Elixia (controlled by Altor Funds) and Tryghedsgruppen acquire within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Merger Regulation joint control of Fitness DK.
The concentration is accomplished by way of purchase of shares.


2.   
The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:
—   for Elixia: holding company of the Nordic Fitness Chain Health and Fitness Nordic (‘HFN’). HFN operates fitness centres in Sweden, Norway and Finland. Altor funds comprise four private equity funds that invest in business sectors ranging from consumer goods and retail to heavy industry and energy.
—   for TryghedsGruppen: a member based organisation that controls the non-life insurance company Tryg. TryghedsGruppen also has non-controlling partnership interests in the healthcare services sector and in HFN.
—   Fitness DK: holding company of the Danish fitness centre operator Fitness DK A/S


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.


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. The following reference should always be specified:
M.9008 — Elixia Holding/TryghedsGruppen/Fitness DK Holding
