Czech web portal NetCentrum has acquired Slokak Web portal Atlas.sk from EPIC Holding. NetCentrum will pay more than €20M. The new company claims 4.9M. NetCentrum was bought by Warburg Pincus last December, partially cashing out the company's founders. The company is run by CEO Pavel Mucha who was an analyst with McKinsey & Co.
