By combining these 25 businesses into its parent firm, Avatel Telecom SA, Avatel has streamlined its organisational structure. As a result, the absorbed companies transfer all of their assets and obligations to the parent company in one lump sum and are dissolved without liquidation. It accomplishes this using the 2023 closed balance sheets and the June 28, 2024, approved Joint Merger Project. In particular, it is a special controlled merger in which Avatel actively participates and owns all of the share capital of these 25 companies.

According to the Official Gazette of the Commercial Registry, the group’s parent company has therefore executed a merger by absorption that will serve to combine some of the local operators that it has been purchasing in recent years and whose original firms still had legal individuality. The operator is often acquired by the company, which then appoints its key executives to the board before rebranding the acquired business as Avatel Telecom.

In the resolution, the CNMC clarifies that Avatel supplied “inaccurate,” “erroneous,” or “out of date” information for the agency’s statistical bulletin for 2023, as well as for the sectoral economic report and geographic monitoring of the telecommunications industry for the same year. For instance, Competition notes that according to the data for the second quarter of 2023 that was requested from Avatel in order to include it in the statistical bulletin, the company supplied data that showed the rise of over 60,000 pay-TV subscribers “without any justification” in a single quarter.
