Deal Description: The group has finalized a definitive agreement to acquire the target in a move designed to fundamentally transform its European network density. The strategic rationale for this transaction centers on a "market-unification" play, merging the target's industry-leading technical operational depth in the Czech leisure market with the group’s established global low-cost infrastructure. This structural alignment provides the organization with the scientific talent and logistical hardware (specifically an additional 47 aircraft) required to address the increasing demand for affordable cross-border travel in the CEE region. This operation allows the group to execute a definitive structural expansion of its destination portfolio, particularly targeting the robust tour operator networks in Prague.

CESKE AEROLINIE, which reported an EBITDA margin of LOGIN in 2024, is valued in this transaction at an EV/EBITDA multiple of LOGIN, representing a LOGIN discount to the 11.3x average currently observed in the Business Services sector.
