Leroy și Asociații advised Lactalis on acquisition of Albalact minority stakes

This follows the assistance provided to the French group regarding the voluntary public takeover bid of Albalact.

Leroy şi Asociaţii advised the French group Lactalis on the procedure of withdrawal of the minority shareholders of Albalact (squeeze out).

This procedure successfully completed the largest transaction of the past five years in the FMCG industry, resulting in Lactalis acquiring Albalact. This was the first significant voluntary takeover bid on the Bucharest Stock Exchange.

The Leroy şi Asociaţii team, consisting of Bruno Leroy, partner, Andreea Toma, partner and Mădălina Ivan, senior associate, advised the French group on all legal aspects in connection with the squeeze out procedure.

“We are proud to offer high quality legal advice to Lactalis group for over 10 years in the largest transactions on the Romanian dairy market. We are at the same time grateful for the opportunity to have worked on the most significant voluntary takeover bid of a company listed on the Bucharest Stock Exchange. This transaction has strengthened our M&A and Capital Markets practice,” said Bruno Leroy, Founding Partner Leroy şi Asociaţii.
