18 Sep 2024 AGROFERT, a.s.AGROFERT: 21 million EUR for concealed takeover of two large bakeries upheld SlovakiaMerger control €21m

In 2013, AGROFERT acquired control of the bakeries PRVÁ BRATISLAVSKÁ PEKÁRENSKÁ and PEZA, but had the Žilina bakery held covertly by a third party for two years in order to circumvent the notification threshold – the authority had rejected an earlier takeover in 2011. The Council of the Protimonopolný úrad Slovenskej republiky (Antimonopoly Office of the Slovak Republic, PMÚ SR) upheld the fine of 21 million EUR; final since 27 September 2024.

What organisations can take from it
