Merkur plans to acquire a majority stake in Société Française de Casinos
On August 28, 2026, Merkur Spielbanken Beteiligungs GmbH signed a purchase agreement to acquire a 95% stake in Casigrangi from GPG GROUPE PHILIPPE GINESTET and DOFA. Casigrangi, which owns 81.21% of Société Française de Casinos (SFC), is the holding company for the Le Stelsia casinos. The transaction price values each SFC share at €6.19, representing a significant premium over previous share prices.
Under regulations, Merkur will have to launch a simplified public tender offer for the remaining shares of SFC. The transaction is expected to be finalized in the first quarter of 2027, with the offer potentially being filed as early as the first half of 2027. The conclusion of the definitive agreement is subject to necessary consultations and approvals, including from the Ministry of the Interior.
