Prior Notification Case M.12237 Carlyle BASF Coatings
Summary
The European Commission received a prior notification of a proposed concentration (Case M.12237) involving The Carlyle Group's acquisition of BASF Coatings. The transaction was notified under Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 on the control of concentrations between undertakings (EU Merger Regulation). Third parties with a legitimate interest may submit observations to the Commission.
What changed
The European Commission published a prior notification of Case M.12237 Carlyle/BASF Coatings in the Official Journal. This is a standard procedural step under the EU Merger Regulation whereby the Commission makes the notified concentration public to allow third parties with a legitimate interest to submit observations.\n\nAffected parties in related markets (coatings, specialty chemicals) and third parties with a legitimate interest should monitor this case for subsequent Commission decisions. The notification does not itself impose obligations on the parties beyond standard merger control procedures.
What to do next
- Monitor for Commission Phase I or Phase II investigation decisions
- Submit observations to the Commission if you have a legitimate interest as a third party
