October 13, 2016

Vinge has advised the Swedish state in connection with its sale of shares in SAS pursuant to a bookbuilding procedure performed on 12 October 2016.

In total, 23 million ordinary shares held by the Swedish and Norwegian governments were placed at a price of SEK 15.50 per share, equivalent to an aggregate value of approximately MSEK 357.  Following the transaction, the Swedish government holds 17.2 per cent of the ordinary shares and 17.1 per of the votes in SAS.

Vinge’s team consisted of partners Charlotte Levin and Eric Sjöman together with associates Amanda Knutsson and David Andersson.

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.

The wide reach of the prohibition against circumventing EU sanctions

Against the background of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the EU has imposed a number of sanctions, which include a prohibition for companies within the EU to take certain measures in relation to Russia, as well as designated Russian people and entities on the sanction lists. Furthermore, a prohibition to circumvent the sanctions has been introduced in order to ensure that the sanctions are effective also in practice. When it comes to this circumvention prohibition, it is important to be aware of its wide interpretation, as established by the Court of Justice of the European Union and the European Commission.
