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.

Renewable energy – The Council agrees on a temporary emergency regulation

In the beginning of November, the European Commission put forward a proposal regarding a framework to accelerate the deployment of renewable energy, with the ambition to speed up the transition to green energy and reduce the EU’s dependency on Russian fossil fuels. In line with the conclusions of the European Council at the end of October, the European Commission considers that the ongoing energy crisis requires immediate action to transpose parts of the REPowerEU plan, and therefore proposes to adopt a Council Regulation using Article 122(1) of the Treaty of the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) as legal basis.

REPowerEU – The European Parliament and the Council have assumed their standpoints

In May 2022, the Commission presented its proposal regarding REPowerEU. The purpose of the plan, which is based on the "Fit for 55" parcel , is to change Europe’s energy system by eliminating the EU’s dependency on Russian fossil fuels as well as to tackle the climate crisis. The European Parliament and the Council have now adopted their positions in order to incorporate the plan into the national recovery and resilience plans.

Vinge authors the Swedish contribution regarding tax disputes for The Legal 500

 International companies run the risk of the erroneous management of tax issues when conducting operations in several jurisdictions. In such event, disputes can arise with the relevant tax authorities. The Legal 500 has now introduced a dedicated chapter on tax disputes in its comparative guide for the first time and Ulrika Bengtsson, advokat and counsel, has been selected to provide a clear picture of the Swedish tax litigation system.
