The amendments entered into force on the date of publication. The substantial amendments introduced by the New Communiqu\u00e9 are summarised below:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Increase in Turnover Thresholds<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The main amendment introduced by the New Communiqu\u00e9 is the increase of the turnover thresholds triggering the Competition Board approval. In this context, the thresholds stipulated in the former regulation have been increased by three to four times and are determined as follows:<\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>The aggregate turnover of the transaction parties in T\u00fcrkiye exceeds TRY\u00a0three billion (approx. EUR\u00a067,099,083<a href=\"#_ftn1\" id=\"_ftnref1\"><sup>[1]<\/sup><\/a>, approx. USD\u00a075,987,842<a href=\"#_ftn2\" id=\"_ftnref2\"><sup>[2]<\/sup><\/a>) and the Turkish turnovers of at least two of the transaction parties each exceed TRY\u00a0one billion\u00a0, or<\/li>\r\n<li>In acquisition transactions, the Turkish turnover of the assets or activities subject to the transfer, and in merger transactions, the Turkish turnover of at least one of the transaction parties exceeds TRY one billion (approx. EUR 22,366,361, approx. USD 25,329,280) and the worldwide turnover of at least one of the other transaction parties exceeds TRY nine billion (approx. EUR 201,297,489, approx. USD 227,963,526).<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Specific Thresholds for Technology Undertakings<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>According to the new regulation, in merger transactions where at least one of the transaction parties is a technology undertaking in T\u00fcrkiye and in transactions concerning the acquisition of such undertakings, the TRY\u00a0one billion\u00a0 thresholds shall be applied as TRY\u00a0two hundred fifty million (approx. EUR\u00a05,591,590, approx. USD\u00a06,332,320) with respect to the transaction party subject to the transfer.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Transitional Period<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Provisional Article 1 introduced by the New Communiqu\u00e9 provides a regulation regarding the transitional period for the change in turnover thresholds. Accordingly, it is regulated that in case of changes to the turnover thresholds or other conditions, the ongoing examination processes shall be terminated by the Competition Board decision for merger or acquisition transactions whose examination is ongoing as of the date of entry into force of such amendment and which fall below the newly determined turnover thresholds or are found not to meet other conditions.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>In this framework, with the new turnover thresholds entered into force on 11\u00a0February\u00a02026, the examination of transactions currently under review that fall below the new thresholds will be terminated by the Competition Board decision.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Conclusion<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>It is considered that the increase in turnover thresholds will enable the Competition Board to direct its examination capacity towards large-scale transactions that may raise serious competition concerns. As a result of this amendment, many medium and small-scale transactions will be exempt from the notification obligation.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The lower thresholds stipulated for technology undertakings indicate that the objective of closely monitoring concentrations in digital markets is maintained. In this context, transactions involving undertakings operating in digital platforms, software, financial technologies, biotechnology, pharmacology, agrochemicals and health technologies will continue to be subject to the Competition Board supervision with lower thresholds.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>In this framework, it is important for undertakings to take into account the new turnover thresholds and the special regulation regarding technology undertakings in their planned merger and acquisition transactions. In particular, companies operating in the technology sector, or planning to acquire undertakings in this sector, should carefully assess whether notification obligations to the Competition Authority arise due to the new thresholds.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>You can access the New Communiqu\u00e9 published in the Official Gazette <a
