Vinge has advised SBB in connection with the sale of properties to a company co-owned with Kåpan

November 19, 2021

Vinge has advised Samhällsbyggnadsbolaget i Norden AB (”SBB”) in connection with the sale of properties for SEK 10 billion to a company co-owned by Kåpan with a focus on government infrastructure.

In the transaction, SBB sold properties for an agreed property value of SEK 10 billion within government infrastructure to a jointly owned company with Kåpan Occupational Pension Association (“Kåpan”). The properties have an annual rental income of approximately SEK 584 million and an operating net of SEK 435 million. The leasable area is approximately 500,000 sqm. In parallel with the transaction, SBB acquires 23 percent of the shares in the community service property company Stenvalvet AB (publ) (“Stenvalvet”) from Kåpan and thus, together with Kåpan, becomes a major owner in Stenvalvet.

Vinge’s team consisted of Jesper Schönbeck, Rikard Lindahl, Joel Magnusson and Anna Svensson.

Sweden proposes a new law on investment screening which will have significant implications for transactions

Contrary to the situation in many other countries, there are currently only limited possibilities to regulate or prevent foreign direct investments in Sweden that could entail risks to Swedish security interests. Existing regulatory frameworks, such as the Protective Security Act (Sw. Säkerhetsskyddslagen), are limited to certain areas, to certain activities and to specific situations. The final report of the Inquiry of foreign direct investments (Sw. Granskning av utländska direktinvesteringar), published on 1 November 2021, puts forward a proposal for new legislation to address this gap.
