Vinge is advising Nytida in connection with merger with the Solhaga Group

January 25, 2016

Vinge is advising Nytida, which is part of Ambea, in connection with the merger with Solhagagruppen (the “Solhaga Group”).

Nytida intends to merge with the Solhaga Group. Nytida and the Solhaga Group possess considerable experience and expertise within the fields of functional impairment and the Solhaga Group specializes in the fields of neuropsychiatric and psychiatric impairment and reduced development. Both Nytida and the Solhaga Group conduct operations throughout a large part of Sweden and provide accommodation, schooling, short-term accommodation and daytime activities. The Solhaga Group also conducts operations in Norway.

Closing of the transaction is subject to the customary approval of the relevant competition authority.

Vinge’s team consisted of, among others, partners Christina Kokko, Jonas Johansson, Louise Brorson Salomon and Marcus Glader together with associates Linda Sengul, Maria Dahlin, Albert Wållgren, Anna-Maria Terzi, Emil Fahlén Godö and Anne Wijkman.

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.
