JGA represented both funds in the proceedings before the President of the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection.

Avallon MBO II B.V. is a Dutch investment company specialising in management buyouts on the Polish market, while Nobium s.á.r.l. is an investment vehicle of the Genesis Private Equity Fund III L.P., which invests primarily in companies operating in Central and Western European markets. EQOS Energie Polska sp. z o.o. is a company operating in the field of technical construction services, services related to power lines and substations, and Intelligent Transportation Systems.

The intention of the concentration was subject to notification to the Polish Antitrust Authority due to the value of turnover generated by the participants of the concentration.
