The proposed transaction concerns the acquisition by Arcelor of control over the Severstal Group together with 70% of the shares of certain operating businesses of Lucchini.
The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:
Arcelor S.A.: Arcelor S.A. is the ultimate parent company of a group of companies active in the worldwide production and distribution of most types of carbon flat, carbon long and stainless steel for, inter alia, the automotive, industrial and construction industry.
Severstal: Severstal is a group of companies which is active in the steel and mining sector.
