Wolf Theiss – Legal Advisor of Astronergy Solar Netherlands B.V

by Wolf Theiss October 28, 2013

WOLF THEISS Bucharest law firm has assisted Astronergy Solar Netherlands B.V. in the acquisition of ACV Solar Technology S.R.L., a company developing a 5.98 MWp photovoltaic project in Cluj County.
Initially, Wolf Theiss has assisted Astronergy in the extensive and challenging due diligence phase of the acquisition, including in connection with the remediation of the issues identified in the due diligence process and repeated updates of the due diligence report. "The Due Diligence investigation involved a sustained effort to identify the critical issues and the best solutions to address the problems in a relatively short time and in the context of unclear legislation." stated Oana Caminof, Associate Wolf Theiss.

Further on, Wolf Theiss has assisted Astronergy in relation to the structuring of the deal and in the actual negotiation and implementation of the transaction.
Adelina Iftime-Blagean, Senior Associate Wolf Theiss, stated: "The transactional stage was again extremely challenging, with intensive, sophisticated and lengthy negotiations concerning the preferred structure, the elements conditioning the completion of the transaction, the specific obligations undertaken by the parties prior and post completion, the liability thresholds, the payments structuring and the reciprocal securities given by the parties. The excellent collaboration between Wolf Theiss team members ensured the successful completion of this transaction, after almost eight months as of the start of the due diligence process".

Ciprian Glodeanu, Partner Wolf Theiss, also stated: "I am overjoyed that there is still interest in the photovoltaic industry in Romania, despite the uncertainties introduced by recent legislative changes. Astronergy is a prominent name in the field of solar energy and this new acquisition confirms that this area can still attract important investments to the Romanian economy."
The Wolf Theiss Bucharest team lawyers involved in the transaction were Adelina Iftime-Blagean (Senior Associate – Corporate M&A team), Luminita Gheorghe (Associate - Corporate M&A team), Oana Caminof (Associate – Projects team) and Alice Apetrei (Associate – Real Estate team) with the support of Ciprian Glodeanu (Partner).
Wolf Theiss continues to assist Astronergy, among others, in the implementation of the transaction closing and in further restructuring of ACV Solar Technology S.R.L.
