Vinge has advised Coop in connection with the acquisition of Netto’s Swedish grocery stores

May 16, 2019

Vinge has advised Coop Butiker & Stormarknader AB in connection with the acquisition of Netto’s Swedish grocery stores.

The transaction includes 163 grocery stores which will eventually be integrated and re-branded to Coop. Coop Butiker & Stormarknader AB operates 240 of Coop’s 650 grocery stores. The grocery stores are mainly located in Stockholm, Mälardalen, Östergötland and in the west of Skåne. The seller is Salling Group, Denmark’s largest consumer company, which, inter alia, operates Netto in Denmark, Germany, Poland and Sweden.
 
The acquisition is conditional upon customary closing conditions such as the approval of the Swedish Competition Authority.
 
Vinge’s team primarily consisted of responsible partners Daniel Rosvall and Niclas Winnberg together with, among others, associates Christoffer Nordin, Milad Kamali, Karolina Cohrs, Hampus Olsson, Valter Gran and VDR assistant Jessica Öijer. 
 

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.
