Vinge advises Saab in connection with the sale of C3 Technologies

July 14, 2011

Vinge has advised Saab in connection with the sale of the entire issued share capital of C3 Technologies. Saab is the company’s majority shareholder and the company itself is a spin-off from Saab which offers 3D-data to the consumer market based on Saab’s 3D map technology. Saab received a purchase price of approximately SEK 1 billion, which resulted in a profit to Saab of approximately SEK 900 million. The transaction is subject to customary competition law approvals.

Vinge’s team consisted of partner Johan Winnerblad together with, among others, associates Johan Larsson, Johan Mattsson, Adam Weissbach and Malin Buch as well as project assistants Ida Norlin and Mikaela Mars. Partners Per Eric Alvsing and Karin Grauers and associates Claes Henriksson and Daniel Järmén provided IP law advice.  

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.
