(C/2026/1945)

On 19 March 2026, the Commission received notification of a proposed concentration pursuant to Article 4 of Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (1). This notification concerns the following undertakings:

| — | Raiffeisen Immobilien Bauträger GmbH (‘Raiffeisen Immo’, Austria), controlled by RAIFFEISEN-HOLDING NIEDERÖSTERREICH-WIEN registrierte Genossenschaft mit beschränker Haftung (‘RHO NÖ-W’, Austria), |

| — | RealBestand Immobilien GmbH & Co KG (‘RealBestand’, Austria), controlled by Raiffeisenlandesbank Oberösterreich Aktiengesellschaft (‘RLB OÖ’, Austria), |

| — | Business Center Muthgasse (Austria), controlled by Deka Immobilien Investment GmbH (Germany). |
RHO NÖ-W and RLB OÖ will acquire within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Merger Regulation joint control of the whole of Business Center Muthgasse.

The concentration is accomplished by way of purchase of assets.

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are the following:
| — | RHO NÖ-W is a holding company with investments in the sectors of agriculture, banking, media and infrastructure. While RHO NÖ-W is focused primarily on Austria, it also has operations across the EU and internationally.
