Go ahead for AMP, PSP and Arcus takeover of Alpha Trains

Brussels, 15/04/2014 (Agence Europe) - On Tuesday 15 April, the European Commission approved the acquisition of joint control over Alpha Trains Holdings Sarl of Luxembourg and its subsidiaries (Alpha Trains), by AMP Capital Investors Limited (AMP) of Australia, Public Sector Pension Investment Board (PSP) of Canada and Arcus European Infrastructure Fund GP LLP (Arcus) of the United Kingdom. The Commission concluded that the proposed acquisition would not raise competition concerns because AMP, PSP and Arcus are not engaged in any business activities in the same relevant product and geographic markets. AMP, PSP and Arcus are all investment companies, whereas Alpha Trains is a specialist train leasing company providing rolling stock to operators in a number of countries in Europe. (EL)
