The purchase price was paid by Heineken after all the suspensive conditions from the transaction agreed upon in April have been met. The Slovenian Competition Protection Agency last week decided not to oppose to the concentration at the occasion of the Heineken takeover of the Laško brewery; they established it was in compliance with the rules on competition, providing the corrective measures regarding the use of beverage coolers in restaurant facilities in Slovenia would be fulfilled.

The consortium of vendors of the 51.11% share of Pivovarna Laško, formed by BAMC, Kapitalska družba, Alpen invest, Abank, KD Funds, NKBM, Zavarovalnica Triglav, Banka Koper and Fund for Craftsmen and Entrepreneurs, signed the sales contract with Heineken in April. Heineken paid 25.56 euros per share, i.e. 114,8 million euros for 4.471.054 shares.

The number of shares paid for today is higher, as certain vendors took advantage of the right of sale of additional shares obtained after the contract had been signed, i.e. shares obtained by the existing shareholders through the public offer by the Management and Consultancy Company, for purchase of 126,407 shares representing 1.5% share of Pivovarna Laško.
