RNS Number : 4303R  Competition and Markets Authority  27 October 2023

 

START OF CMA MERGER INVESTIGATION: ANTICIPATED ACQUISITION BY SIEMENS
INTERNATIONAL HOLDING BV, A WHOLLY OWNED SUBSIDIARY OF SIEMENS AG (SIEMENS),
OF CHARGECO TOPHOLDING BV (HELIOX)

 

The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) is considering whether it is or
may be the case that this transaction, if carried into effect, will result in
the creation of a relevant merger situation under the merger provisions of the
Enterprise Act 2002 and, if so, whether the creation of that situation may be
expected to result in a substantial lessening of competition within any market
or markets in the United Kingdom for goods or services.

 

The CMA announced the launch of its merger inquiry by notice to the Parties on
27 October 2023 and has a deadline of 22 December 2023 for its phase 1
decision.

 

Invitation to comment: closes Friday 10 November 2023.

 

To assist it with this assessment, the CMA invites comments on the transaction
from any interested party.

 

These comments should be provided by the deadline set out above to:
