The FSC initially suspended Synergon Holding's buyout bid in July.
In June, Synergon Holding acquired a 32.08% stake in Svetlina at a price of 5.5 levs per share.
Regardless of the outcome, Synergon Holding intends to delist Svetlina from the Bulgarian Stock Exchange, the company has said previously.

Synergon Holding was set up in 1996 as a privatisation fund under Bulgaria's voucher privatisation programme. The fund was transformed into a holding structure the following year. It has more than 25 subsidiaries and affiliated companies operating in various sectors of the Bulgarian economy.
