The Competition Council received documentation regarding a planned acquisition on July 27. Following a comprehensive assessment of the proposed changes, the Council issued a determination concluding that the contemplated transaction will not establish or reinforce a dominant market position, nor will it significantly restrict competition within the relevant markets. The asset at the center of the deal is a hotel, which is currently owned by Grand Hotel Vilnius, a company registered in Lithuania.
The execution of this transaction is being managed by Spectra, a controlling company based in the Netherlands, which has established ties to Tesonet Global. The Tesonet group operates several technology companies, including well-known brands such as NordVPN, Nord Security, Surfshark, and Incognito. Collectively, the group’s corporate interests span critical sectors including cybersecurity, data protection, and artificial intelligence, alongside the provision of VPN services, internet access, and related digital services.
The current development involves Tesonet acquiring the central Vilnius hotel, an asset previously associated with the INVL fund. The Council’s review focused specifically on the market implications of this corporate transaction. By determining that the proposed merger does not impede competitive structures, the Council cleared the path for the acquisition to proceed.
This clearance indicates that, from a regulatory standpoint, the integration of the hotel into the portfolio overseen by the Tesonet-affiliated entities is deemed acceptable, as it does not negatively affect market competition.
