Kongsberg acquires within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Merger Regulation sole control of Rolls-Royce Commercial Marine.
The concentration is accomplished by way of purchase of shares and assets.


2.   
The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:






—


Kongsberg is the holding company of the Kongsberg group, which supplies technological systems and solutions for use in the marine, defence, aerospace and oil and gas industries,
