Vinge advises Concordia Bus in connection with new share issue and refinancing

September 08, 2009

Vinge has advised Concordia Bus in connection with the implementation of a rights issue subject to pre-emption rights for the existing shareholders and the exchange of the company’s existing senior notes in the amount of EUR 130 million for new senior notes. In connection with the rights issue, all of the company’s outstanding preference shares were redeemed. The new issue will generate just over SEK 800 million for the company.

Concordia Bus is one of Europe’s ten largest public transportation groups and the Nordic region’s leading bus transportation group. The group has approximately 7,000 employees and a turnover of approximately SEK 5.5 billion.

The Vinge team consisted of Ola Sandersson, Maria-Pia Midenbäck Hope, Bo Adrianzon, Mattias Schömer, Maria Doeser, Dain Nevonen, Nils-Taro Lock, Elin Hjort and Christian Granqvist.

Vinge authors the Swedish contribution regarding tax disputes for The Legal 500

 International companies run the risk of the erroneous management of tax issues when conducting operations in several jurisdictions. In such event, disputes can arise with the relevant tax authorities. The Legal 500 has now introduced a dedicated chapter on tax disputes in its comparative guide for the first time and Ulrika Bengtsson, advokat and counsel, has been selected to provide a clear picture of the Swedish tax litigation system.

The wide reach of the prohibition against circumventing EU sanctions

Against the background of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the EU has imposed a number of sanctions, which include a prohibition for companies within the EU to take certain measures in relation to Russia, as well as designated Russian people and entities on the sanction lists. Furthermore, a prohibition to circumvent the sanctions has been introduced in order to ensure that the sanctions are effective also in practice. When it comes to this circumvention prohibition, it is important to be aware of its wide interpretation, as established by the Court of Justice of the European Union and the European Commission.
