Investors representing over half of the shares in Mercator, the largest retailer in the Balkans, have signed a deal to sell their combined stake in the business.
Shareholders including Banka Celje, Nova Ljubljanska Banka and brewer Pivovarna Lasko have agreed to sell a 50.03% in Slovenia’s Mercator.

Lasko, which holds 23.3% of Mercator, confirmed the deal in a statement yesterday (16 June).
The brewer is looking to pay off debts and had struck a deal to sell its stake in Mercator to rival Croatian retailer Agrokor earlier this year. However, last month, the deal was blocked by Slovenia’s supreme court on competition grounds.
