Rymarz Zdort Maruta has advised SFS Ventures on its transfer of an 11% stake in Eurozet to co-shareholder Agora.
"As a result of the transaction, Agora's interest in Eurozet increased from 40% to 51%, while SFS Ventures' interest fell from 60% to 49%," the firm reported. "The price of the shares amounted to EUR 9.17 million, subject to adjustment in accordance with rules agreed upon by the parties. The transaction was financed using a loan granted by SFS Ventures to Agora."
According to Rymarz Zdort Maruta, "the transaction was carried out after the Court of Appeal in Warsaw issued a final judgment (as reported by CEE Legal Matters on March 3, 2023) upholding an earlier decision of the first-instance court granting unconditional consent to Agora's acquisition of control over Eurozet."
According to the firm, "prior to the acquisition of the 11% interest by Agora, the parties entered into an annex to the existing shareholders' agreement between them. This agreement, among other things, grants Agora the right to acquire the remaining 49% stake in Eurozet held by SFS Ventures. The right can be exercised until July 31, 2025."
