On 3 November 2026, the Polish competition authority issued Decision No. DKK-241/2026, approving Arabella BidCo GmbH’s acquisition of control over BayWa r.e. AG. Arabella BidCo is based in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, and BayWa r.e. is based in Munich, Germany.

The authority granted clearance under Article 18, in conjunction with Article 13(1)(1) and Article 13(2)(2) of Poland’s Competition and Consumer Protection Act, following antitrust proceedings initiated at Arabella BidCo’s request. The decision does not state that remedies or conditions were imposed.

The authority waived a written statement of reasons because the decision fully granted the applicant’s request, did not resolve disputed interests between parties, and was not issued following an appeal. The decision may be appealed to the Warsaw Regional Court’s Competition and Consumer Protection Court through the authority within one month of service.
