1.   
On 1 March 2021, the Commission received notification of a proposed concentration pursuant to Article 4 and following a referral pursuant to Article 4(5) of Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (1).
This notification concerns the following undertakings:






—


B.H. Holding GmbH (‘BH Holding’, Germany), controlled by Benjamin Heinig.

BH Holding acquires within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Merger Regulation control of the whole of TEDi.
The concentration is accomplished by way of purchase of shares.


2.   
The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:






—


BH Holding holds and manages investments in various companies. Benjamin Heinig, a natural person and the sole shareholder of B.H. Holding, indirectly owns 100% of the shares in Woolworth GmbH, a retail chain with over 400 stores in Germany and is active in the non-food retail sector.










—


TEDi is active in the non-food retail sector at locations in Czechia, Germany, Spain, Croatia, Italy, Austria, Poland, Slovenia, and Slovakia. The product portfolio offered by TEDi includes everyday items and consumables.
