JGA acted as an advisor in the transaction involving the acquisition of the KOPEX Capital Group

JGA lawyers advised the buyers, companies belonging to the TDJ Capital Group, in the transaction concerning the acquisition of the KOPEX Capital Group, which had been prepared since the early months of 2016. The TDJ Capital Group is a major shareholder of Polish listed companies such as FAMUR S.A., PGO S.A., and ZAMET Industry S.A., and also engages in investments in other sectors. The KOPEX Group is one of the largest Polish groups providing machinery, equipment, and services for the mining industry.

The acquisition of the KOPEX Group was one of the most extensive projects undertaken by JGA. In addition to acquiring the dominant company within the KOPEX Group, i.e. KOPEX S.A., the transaction also involved coordinating negotiations regarding the restructuring of the companies within the KOPEX Group with the entities financing the Group. The transaction was finalised in early December 2016 after nine months of negotiations. 

JGA’s advisory scope included transaction structuring and negotiating transaction documentation.

The abovementioned project was carried out by JGA team, supervised by Grzegorz Morawiec and Magdalena Jackowicz-Korczyńska.
