Clifford Chance has advised Ceskoslovenska Obchodni Banka, alongside Raiffeisenbank, UniCredit Bank Czech Republic and Slovakia, and the Prague branch of Vseobecna Uverova Banka, on the club financing of Ceska Posta's existing indebtedness and ongoing business needs. Havel & Partners and Wolf Theiss reportedly advised on the financing as well.
According to Clifford Chance, the transaction marks Ceska Posta’s first foray into club financing, having previously relied solely on bilateral arrangements. Ceska Posta, the Czech Republic’s state-owned postal operator, plays a key role in the country’s logistics and financial services infrastructure, operating under the Ministry of the Interior.
The Clifford Chance team included Managing Partner Milos Felgr, Senior Associate Hana Cekalova, and Junior Lawyer Ondrej Steco.
