Wierzbowski Eversheds advised on the cross-border merger of Elpro Development S.A. with the Cypriot company EMP Investment Ltd. The work of the M&A team was coordinated by Krzysztof Feluch.

Work on the project commenced in November 2015, when a schedule for the merger was prepared. In May this year the implementation of the plan began, and on 14 November 2016 the Warsaw District Court registered the cross-border merger between Elpro Development S.A. and the Cypriot company EMP Investment Ltd. The companies belong to Emperia S.A., which is listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange. The merger was a result of the restructuring of the group.

Throughout the project our lawyers supervised the work of the Cypriot company and the law firm supporting it, S. Dionysiou & Partners LLC, and prepared and agreed all corporate documents to be effective in both jurisdictions. The lawyers working on the merger were Krzysztof Feluch and Roza Warszawik from the M&A team; the tax part of the project, which preceded and prepared for the merger, was performed by Karolina Stawowska and Malgorzata Sajkiewicz.

This was another project combining elements of commercial and tax law conducted by Wierzbowski Eversheds for this client during several years of cooperation.
