1.   
On 10 March 2022, 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 will acquire, within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Merger Regulation, sole control of the whole of ELAG-A&H.
The concentration is accomplished by way of purchase of shares.

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are the following:

Pursuant to the Commission Notice on a simplified procedure for treatment of certain concentrations under 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.
