EU fines Kingspan €40M for misleading merger review data

The European Commission fined Kingspan €40 million for supplying incorrect and misleading information during its 2021 review of the Kingspan–Trimo acquisition under the EU Merger Regulation. The penalty underscores EU enforcement against procedural non-compliance in merger reviews, though the underlying deal's outcome is not stated. This signals heightened regulatory scrutiny of corporate disclosure in antitrust processes.
