Romanian Law firm, PavelMargarit & Associates, advised Vast Resources PLC, an UK, London based AIM-listed mining company with operating mines in several countries, on acquiring 49,9 % of Sinarom Mining Group a Romanian limited liability company, from the Chinese businessman Ni Jinming.
The acquisition project was coordinated by Attorney at law PhDc. Radu Catalin Pavel, Managing Partner of Pavel, Margarit& Associates, who supervised the team of three Senior Attorneys at law from the Corporate,Commercial, Mergers and Acquisitions Department of the law firm.
This was a very complex project, taking into consideration the diversity of commercial and legal business relations of the company acquired by the London based company. Our role was to protect Vast Resources PLC legal interests in this transaction and to prevent any potential risks that might endanger the buyer in the future. Taking into account that Vast Resources PLC and the seller, Mr. Ni Jinming, were shareholders in the Romanian company for almost two years, the sale and purchase agreement underlined all the agreements between parties concerning Ni Jinmings exit from the company and from the Board of Directors, said Attorney at law Phdc. Pavel Catalin Radu.
Pavel, Margarit& Associates was the only law firm who advised the investor Vast Resources PLC on the acquisition of the minority stake owned by the Chinese businessman.
This transaction was a challenge for us, we have covered any potential contractual future risks for the British investor and legally prevented them by inserting special clauses in the sell and purchase agreement. We secured Vast Resources PLC contractual position by inserting rights and obligations for both seller and buyer, by inserting sanctions in case of failure to perform with the obligations and also by inserting penal clauses, to protect our clients rights. This might seem standard clauses, involved in any M&A transaction,compared to similar cases we studied and to ones where we advised, some acquisition transactionsare atypical, our role in this kind of transactionsis was to legally secure the transaction, said the Managing Partner, Attorney at Law Radu Catalin Pavel.
Through the acquisition, Vast Resources PLC took full control over Sinarom Mining Group SRL and over the Manaila Polymetallic Mine in Romania.
