(Case M.10132 — Blackstone/B&J/Applegreen)
Candidate case for simplified procedure
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2021/C 40/09)

1.   
On 29 January 2021, 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:






—


The Blackstone Group Inc. (‘Blackstone’, United States),

B&J Holdings Limited (‘B&J’, Malta),










—


Applegreen plc (‘Applegreen’, Ireland).




Blackstone and B&J acquire within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) and 3(4) of the Merger Regulation joint control of Applegreen.
The concentration is accomplished by way of purchase of shares.


2.   
The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:






—


for Blackstone: a global asset management company,










—


for B&J: a holding company, owned by Joseph Barrett and Robert Etchingham and currently Applegreen’s largest shareholder,










—


for Applegreen: a roadside convenience retailer, operating from motorway service areas, trunk road service areas and petrol filling stations, with presence in Ireland, the United Kingdom and the United States.






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.
