Alten SA 40 Avenue André Morizet 92100 Boulogne-Billancourt France
Dear Sir or Madam,
(1) On 4 September 2024, the European Commission received notification of a proposed concentration pursuant to Article 4 of the Merger Regulation, by which ALT 08 SARL (“ALT 08”, France), ultimately controlled by Alten SA (“Alten”, France), will acquire within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Merger Regulation sole control of the whole of The Worldgrid business, including Worldgrid France SAS and other Worldgrid entities and assets (“Worldgrid”, France), ultimately controlled 3 by Atos SE (France), by way of purchase of shares and assets. ( )
(2) The business activities of the undertakings concerned are the following:
– Alten provides worldwide engineering and IT services to major corporate, telecoms and service clients for their projects with a technological dimension in the Technical, Research & Development and Information Systems Divisions,
– Worldgrid specializes in integration projects and real time smart energy solutions to energy & utilities companies across the power, water, oil & gas value chains. It is active on IT and operational technology services, mainly in Europe, notably in France, Germany, and Spain, and in the UK.
(3) After examination of the notification, the European Commission has concluded that the notified operation falls within the scope of the Merger Regulation and of
1() OJ L 24, 29.1.2004, p. 1 (the ‘Merger Regulation’). With effect from 1 December 2009, the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (‘TFEU’) has introduced certain changes, such as the replacement of ‘Community’ by ‘Union’ and ‘common market’ by ‘internal market’. The terminology of the TFEU will be used throughout this decision.
2() OJ L 1, 3.1.1994, p. 3 (the ‘EEA Agreement’).
3() OJ C, C/2024/5521, 12.9.2024.
paragraph 5(d) of the Commission Notice on a simplified treatment for certain
4() OJ C 160, 5.5.2023, p. 1 (the ‘Notice on a simplified treatment’).
(4) For the reasons set out in the Notice on a simplified treatment, the European Commission has decided not to oppose the notified operation and to declare it compatible with the internal market and with the EEA Agreement. This decision is adopted in application of Article 6(1)(b) of the Merger Regulation and Article 57 of the EEA Agreement.
For the Commission
(Signed) Olivier GUERSENT Director-General
