Vinge Advises PSI on Cross-Border Merger

April 24, 2008

The Board of Directors in CashGuard AB (publ), listed on the OMX Nordic Exchange Stockholm, and the PSI Group ASA, listed on the Oslo Exchange, has entered into an agreement to implement a cross-border merger. The largest shareholders in both companies support the merger, which is proposed to be implemented with PSI as the acquiring company. On the international technology market the merger between PSI and CashGuard will form a leading company. 
 
The new company will have its primary listing in Norway but will apply for a secondary listing in Sweden. The merger must be approved by both companies' general meetings, which are estimated to be held in early June 2008, and the approval of relevant competition authorities.

Vinge’s team included Johan Cederlund, Pontus Enquist and Lennart Larsson, among others.

The prohibition imposed by EU law on complying with secondary sanctions laid down by the United States against Iran may be relied on in civil proceedings

 On Tuesday 21 December, the EU Court of Justice delivered its long-awaited judgment in the Bank Melli Iran case (Case C-124/20) on the interpretation of the EU Blocking Statute regarding compliance with third country sanctions. According to the Court, the prohibition imposed by EU law on complying with secondary sanctions laid down by the United States against Iran may be relied on in civil proceedings. Following the Court’s judgment, anyone seeking to terminate a contract with a person or business subject to US sanctions must thoroughly consider if the termination is motivated by other reasons than the existing sanctions and reflect on whether to apply to the Commission for a derogation from the Blocking Statute.
