Dear Sir or Madam,
1.      On 12 March 2021, the European Commission received notification of a proposed
        concentration pursuant to Article 4 of the Merger Regulation by which Infosys
        Limited (‘Infosys’, India), acquire within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Merger
        Regulation control over certain IT assets, personnel, contracts and liabilities of
        Daimler AG (‘Daimler IT Assets’, Germany) by way of purchase of assets.3
2.      The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:
             for Infosys: a global provider of digital services and IT consulting to clients
              across various industry segments.
             for Daimler IT Assets: a provider of IT services (help desk, workplace IT tools,
              data centre, SAP solutions) for the internal use of Daimler AG, a global
              corporation that develops, manufactures and distributes automotive products, in
              particular passenger cars, trucks, vans and buses.
3.      After examination of the notification, the European Commission has concluded that
        the notified operation falls within the scope of the Merger Regulation and of
1       OJ L 24, 29.1.2004, p. 1 (the ‘Merger Regulation’). With effect from 1 December 2009, the Treaty on
        the Functioning of the European Union (‘TFEU’) has introduced certain changes, such as the
        replacement of ‘Community’ by ‘Union’ and ‘common market’ by ‘internal market’. The terminology
        of the TFEU will be used throughout this decision.
