Prior notification of a concentration
(Case M.11673 – DK / YSCO)
Candidate case for simplified procedure
(Text with EEA relevance)
(C/2024/6973)


1.   
On 8 November 2024, 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:






—


Glacier Acquisitions Designated Activity (‘Glacier’, Ireland), managed and ultimately controlled by Davidson Kempner Capital Management LP (‘DK’) (USA),










—


Ysco NV (‘Ysco’, Belgium), controlled by Milcobel CV (Belgium).




DK will acquire within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Merger Regulation sole control of Ysco.
The concentration is accomplished by way of purchase of shares.


2.   
The business activities of the undertakings concerned are the following:






—


DK, a US-based institutional investment management firm which advises, manages and ultimately controls Glacier, a company active in the acquisition, holding, management, financing, refinancing, collection, disposal and/or sale of financial assets of all types globally,










—


Ysco, a company active in the manufacture of ice cream.






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 treatment for certain concentrations under Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 on the control of concentrations between undertakings (2) it should be noted that this case is a candidate for treatment under the procedure set out in the Notice.


4.   
The Commission invites interested third parties to submit their possible observations on the proposed operation to the Commission.
Observations must reach the Commission not later than 10 days following the date of this publication. The following reference should always be specified:
