Commission clears acquisition of AURES Holdings by EPEI

The European Commission has approved, under the EU Merger Regulation, the acquisition of sole control of AURES Holdings a.s. of Czechia by EP EQUITY INVESTMENTS S.À.R.L. (‘EPEI’) of Luxembourg.

The transaction relates primarily to the market for retail sale of used cars and related services in the Central and Eastern European region.

The Commission concluded that the notified transaction would not raise competition concerns, given the companies' limited combined market position 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.12293.
