EU keurt overname Hagemeyer dr Rexel goed, onder voorwaarden

AMSTERDAM (Dow Jones)--De Europese Commissie heeft de Franse leverancier van elektronische onderdelen Rexel sa toestemming gegeven om grote delen van Hagemeyer nv te kopen, met als voorwaarde dat het Hagemeyers elektronische distributie activiteiten in Ierland verkoopt.

In de rest van de markten waar de activiteiten van de twee bedrijven overlap vertonen, zei de commissie dat er genoeg concurrentie is, waardoor er geen zorgelijke situaties ontstaan.

Rexel wil Hagemeyers activiteiten overnemen in Belgie, Tsjechie, Duitsland, Estland, Finland, Ierland, Letland, Litouwen, Nederland, Noorwegen, Polen, Spanje, Groot-Brittannie en Rusland.

Hagemeyer en Rexel zijn voornamelijk actief in de groothandel en distributie van elektronische producten en installatiemateriaal, ventilatie en airconditioning.

Rexel heeft laten weten van plan te zijn een aantal activiteiten van Hagemeyer te verkopen aan Sonepar, een andere Franse leverancier van elektronische onderdelen.

Als het bod op Hagemeyer slaagt, is Rexel van plan om zijn eigen Duitse activiteiten te verkopen aan Sonepar, terwijl Sonepar zijn Zweedse activiteiten zal verkopen aan Rexel, hebben de bedrijven aangekondigd.

EC keurt overname Hagemeyer door Rexel goed
22 februari 2008, 17:28 uur | FD.nl/Betten
Amsterdam (BETTEN FINANCIAL NEWS) - De Europese Commissie heeft de overname van Hagemeyer door het Franse Rexel goedgekeurd op de voorwaarde dat Hagemeyers activiteiten in Ierland worden afgestoten. Rexel heeft daarmee ingestemd, zo blijkt vrijdag uit een publicatie van de commissie.

Uit het onderzoek van de commissie kwam naar voren dat de overname van het technische handelshuis uit Naarden de concurrentie in de meeste landen niet aantast, met uitzondering van Ierland. De Ierse activieteiten hebben een omzet van minder dan euro 40 mln, zo laat Hagemeyer weten in een persbericht.

De overname van de Ierse activiteiten levert volgens de commissie mededingingsbezwaren op, omdat 'de transactie de bestaande leidende positie van Rexel zou versterken op een sterk gefragmenteerde markt, waar concurrenten niet groot genoeg zouden zijn en niet de regionale dekking zouden kunnen bieden om concurrentiedruk op de fusieonderneming uit te kunnen oefenen'.

Rexel neemt nu de activiteiten van Hagemeyer overnemen in Belgie, Tsjechie, Duitsland (met uitzondering van zes filialen), Estland, Finland, Letland, Litouwen, Nederland, Noorwegen, Polen, Spanje, het Verenigd Koninkrijk en Rusland.

Hagemeyer bereikte eind november overeenstemming met Rexel over een bod van euro 4,85 per aandeel op het Naardense bedrijf. Het bod waardeert Hagemeyer op circa euro 3,1 mrd. Naar aanleiding van deze transactie sloot Sonepar (dat een belang had van ruim 10% in Hagemeyer) een overeenkomst met Rexel om een aantal onderdelen over te nemen.

Op 8 februari gaf de Europese Commissie al groen licht voor de overname van een aantal onderdelen van Hagemeyer en Rexel door Sonepar. Sonepar krijgt de activiteiten van Hagemeyer in Oostenrijk en Zweden in handen. Verder is goedkeuring verleend voor de overname van zes kantoren in Duitland
