03/05/2023 (Agence Europe) – The European Commission announced on Wednesday 3 May that it has authorised the acquisition of joint control, by way of purchase of shares, of the whole of the waste management company River Ridge Holdings Limited (UK) by Equitix Holdings Limited (UK) and Cube Infrastructure Managers (Luxembourg), two energy-related investment and asset and infrastructure management companies. The merger was found to comply with the Merger Control Regulation (EC/139/2004). The case was dealt with under the simplified procedure. The Commission concluded that the proposed acquisition would not give rise to any competition concerns as River Ridge has only limited activities within the European Economic Area.
