Reticulum may acquire RWA Czechia through its subsidiary SPV oak, s.r.o. The Czech competition authority approved the transaction, and its decision is final.

Reticulum’s group operates in crop and livestock production, agricultural supplies distribution, agricultural commodity trading, and services for farmers. Its wider activities also include debt portfolio management, internal financing, property rental and management, and operation of Brno-Tuřany International Airport.

RWA Czechia is active mainly in distributing agricultural production supplies, trading agricultural commodities, and providing services to farmers. It operates primarily in the Czech Republic, as well as in Germany and Austria.

The authority examined the parties’ activities across the Czech Republic and in individual regions. In most areas assessed, the transaction would bring only a very small change or a marginal increase in the parties’ market shares. Even where their combined share exceeded 15%, the parties would continue to face pressure from other competitors. The authority therefore concluded that the merger would not substantially impede competition.
