Vinge has advised Azelio in connection with a directed share issue of SEK 270 million

September 10, 2020

Vinge has advised Azelio, a public Swedish company specialising in thermal energy storage with dispatchable and low-cost Stirling-based electricity and heat production, in connection with a directed share issue whereby Azelio raises SEK 270 million in issue proceeds before transaction costs.

The subscription price was determined to SEK 22 per share through a so called accelerated bookbuilding procedure. The share issue was directed to a number of Swedish and international institutional investors. The main purpose of the share issue is to finance the company’s ongoing operations and the continued industrialization of Azelio’s Thermal Energy Storage (TES) and Stirling-based electricity production technology, with the objective of reaching industrial volume production in 2021. Azelio’s shares are listed on Nasdaq First North Growth Market.

Vinge’s team consisted of David Andersson, William Kåge, Julia Hirschberg and Olof Löfvenberg.

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.
