On 18 January 2019, 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:






—


Swiss Life Holding AG (‘Swiss Life’, Switzerland),

A real estate property (the ‘Real estate property’, Germany).




Swiss Life and Montagu acquire within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Merger Regulation joint control of the whole of the real estate property.

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:
—   for Swiss Life: an insurance company,
—   for Montagu: a private equity firm,
