Brussels, 8 April 2024
The European Commission has approved, under the EU Merger Regulation, the acquisition of joint control of Smart Clinic S.r.l. by Generali Italia S.p.A. (‘Generali’), Gruppo San Donato S.p.A. (‘GSD’) and GK Holding Italia S.r.l. (‘GK Holding’), all of Italy.
The transaction relates primarily to the provision of outpatient healthcare and diagnostic examinations.
The Commission concluded that the notified transaction would not raise competition concerns, given that Smart Clinic 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.11417.
