                                        To the notifying parties

Dear Sirs,

Subject:    Case M.7620 – FAM / FANOPI / NEFAB
         Commission decision pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) of Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004[1] and Article 57 of the Agreement on the
         European Economic Area[2]

 1. On 09 June 2015, the European Commission received notification of a proposed concentration pursuant to Article 4 and  following  a  referral
    pursuant to Article 4(5) of the Merger Regulation by which the undertakings FAM AB ('FAM', Sweden), jointly controlled by the Knut and Alice
    Wallenberg Foundation, the Marianne and Marcus Wallenberg Foundation and  the  Marcus  and  Amalia  Wallenberg  Foundation,  and  Fanopi  SA
    ('Fanopi', Luxemburg) acquire within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) and 3(4) of the Merger Regulation joint control of the undertaking Nefab
    Packaging AB ('Nefab', Sweden) by way of purchase of shares in a newly created company constituting a joint venture.[3]

 2. The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

  – for FAM : the provision of asset management services to the various Wallenberg foundations;

  – for Fanopi : the holding of participations in various undertakings on behalf of its owners;

  – for Nefab : the global provision of complete packaging solutions for transportation.

 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 paragraph 5(b) of the Commission Notice on a simplified procedure for treatment  of  certain  concentrations  under
    Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004.[4]

 4. For the reasons set out in the Notice on a simplified procedure, the European Commission has decided not to oppose  the  notified  operation
    and to declare it compatible with the internal market and with the EEA Agreement. This decision is adopted in application of Article 6(1)(b)
    of the Merger Regulation and Article 57 of the EEA Agreement.

                                        For the Commission

                                        (Signed)
                                        Alexander ITALIANER
                                        Director-General
