Lottomatica and Cirsa approve merger plan ahead of November shareholder vote
Lottomatica and Cirsa’s boards approved a cross-border merger plan, with shareholders due to vote at extraordinary meetings in late November 2026. Cirsa shareholders would receive 0.668 newly issued Lottomatica shares per share, and Cirsa plans a special dividend of EUR1.56 per share, about EUR262m; completion is expected in the second quarter of 2027.
The proposed merger would transfer Cirsa’s assets and liabilities to Lottomatica and change the combined group’s listings.
