Commission clears acquisition of Rheinmetall Automotive by Aequita

The European Commission has approved, under the EU Merger Regulation, the acquisition of sole control of Rheinmetall Automotive AG by AEQUITA Management SE (‘Aequita'), both of Germany.

The transaction relates primarily to the automotive sector.

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.12524.
