Vinge advises Alder II in conjunction with the acquisition of Scanacon

September 26, 2018

Alder II has entered into an agreement together with the management of the company to acquire the entire issued share capital of Scanacon Intressenter from the seller Verdane Capital.

Scanacon will be the first investment in Alder’s new fund, i.e. Alder II. Alder II is a Swedish based investment fund which invests in Nordic sustainable technology companies. The investments focus on established companies in the Nordic region.

Vinge’s team consisted of, among others, Johan Larsson, Albert Wållgren, Filip Brosset, Manne Bergström, Stina Bengtsson, Ludvig Wettergren and Andreas Lexhag which represented the purchaser Alder II in connection with the acquisition.  

New statute prohibits unfair terms and conditions and practices in conjunction with the purchase of agricultural and food products

The so-called UTP Act prohibits buyers from using certain terms and conditions and practices against suppliers of agricultural and food products. The Swedish Competition Authority exercises supervision and can, among other things, carry out unannounced inspections and order individual to attend formal interviews. In conjunction with violations, sanctions such as injunctions subject to a default fine or a sanction fee of up to one per cent of the buyer’s annual turnover can be imposed. The UTP Act will enter into force on 1 November 2021 and will also be applicable to contracts which are entered into prior to this date.

European Commission provides sanctions compliance guidance

The European Commission has recently issued three opinions regarding the interpretation of asset freeze provisions in certain sanctions legislation pertaining to Central African Republic, Ukraine, Libya and Syria. The opinions are also of relevance for other sanctions regimes which provide for the same or similar restrictions. Therefore, their practical relevance goes far beyond the sanctions regimes in the context of which they were issued and they therefore provide for helpful guidance regarding the required thresholds for sanctions compliance generally.
