BPV Huegel, working with Frankfurt-based FPS Rechtsanwaelte, has advised RWA eGen on its purchase of an approximately 47.53% stake in RWA AG from BayWa AG. Jones Day’s Munich office reportedly advised BayWa AG.
The transaction remains contingent on regulatory approval.
RWA AG is a producer, service provider, and retailer in the fields of agriculture, technology, energy, building materials, and home and garden.
According to BPV Huegel, the sale is part of BayWa’s transformation concept, which involves divesting key international holdings. The transaction values the stake at EUR 176 million and, once completed, will increase RWA eGen’s ownership in RWA AG from roughly 49.99% to almost 97.52%.
The BPV Huegel team included Partners Christoph Nauer, Thomas Lettau, Astrid Ablasser-Neuhuber, Nico Wolski, and Ingo Braun, Attorneys at Law Johannes Mitterecker, Roland Juill, and Barbara Valente, and Associates Anna Zirkler, Daniel Maurer, Patrick Nutz-Fallheier, Stefan Holzweber, and Philipp Stengg.
