Brussels, 13 December 2024
The European Commission has approved, under the EU Merger Regulation, the acquisition of joint control of SRK Kliniken Beteiligungs GmbH (‘SRK’) by STRABAG SE (‘STRABAG’) and Haselsteiner Familien-Privatstiftung (‘HFPS’), all of Austria.
The transaction relates primarily to the management consultancy and hospital activities sectors.
The Commission concluded that the notified transaction would not raise competition concerns, given that SRK has negligible activities in the European Economic Area and the companies’ limited market positions resulting from the proposed transaction. The notified transaction was examined under the simplified merger review procedure.
More information is available on the Commission’s competition website, in the public case register under the case number M.11643.
