Clifford Chance in Germany represented SCA in relation to the acquisition and the banks were represented by Clifford Chance in London.

The transaction is conditional upon the salient regulatory approvals and is expected to be completed during the second quarter of 2017. The financial conditions governing the transaction have not been made public.
