The boards of Lottomatica Group and CIRSA Enterprises have approved a ‘common merger plan’ to settle the terms of their proposed combination, first announced on 2 September 2026. The merger plan will see Lottomatica proceed to absorb CIRSA assets outright, via an enlargement of its enterprise on the Borsa Milan.

As announced: “CIRSA will be absorbed into Lottomatica, with Lottomatica as the surviving entity and CIRSA ceasing to exist as a separate legal entity, without undergoing any liquidation process.

“Lottomatica, as the absorbing company, will acquire all assets and assume all liabilities and other legal relationships of CIRSA.”
