12 Feb 2025 Synot W, a.s.; Ing. Igor Vicel (Unternehmer)Gambling takeover without notification: 428,500 EUR for gun-jumping SlovakiaMerger control €428,500

In 2020, Synot and a sole trader jointly acquired control of the gambling operator SLOV-MATIC, transferred shares and replaced corporate bodies before notifying the concentration. Under a settlement, the Protimonopolný úrad Slovenskej republiky (Antimonopoly Office of the Slovak Republic, PMÚ SR) imposed 400,000 EUR on Synot and 28,500 EUR on the entrepreneur; final since 7 March 2025.

What organisations can take from it

Before closing, neither replace corporate bodies nor steer finances – M&A teams need a gun-jumping checklist.
