Vinge advises Norra Affars on acquisition of Remium

July 06, 2016

Vinge assists Norra Affärs Holding AB on its acquisition of Remium Nordic Holding AB from Mannerheim Invest Holding AB.

Remium is a leading capital markets services provider in the small to medium sized enterprises segment offering e.g. corporate finance, equity research, asset management and corporate services. The acquisition is a strategic supplement to Norra Affärs’ business concept which primarily comprises lending to small to medium sized enterprises. The acquisition is expected to be completed early autumn 2016 after receipt of the relevant approvals from the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority.

Vinge’s team consisted of among others partners Peter Sundgren (M&A) and Emma Stuart-Beck (financial regulatory) as well as associates Johan Mattsson and Marith Welin-Berger (M&A), Caroline Krassén and Henrik Schön (financial regulatory), Karin Isacson (employment & benefits) and Rebecka Weitzberg (intellectual property law).

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.
