Some of our lawyers’ experience in this area include:
- The reorganization of Alfa Finance Holding related to its solar business: as a result of reorganization of the activities of Alfa Finance Holding and its subsidiary Kaolin AD (“Kaolin”), the solar business of the group, previously carried out by the listed company Kaolin was spanned-off in a separate unit – the newly formed Solarpro Holding AD, an indirect subsidiary of Kaolin. The shareholders of Kaolin were granted the option to swap a portion of their shares in Kaolin against shares of the new solar company, also a listed company. This transaction was the first in Bulgaria of that kind. DTT has acted as legal counsel to Kaolin which was the company responsible for the transaction within the group;

BAEF is a private U.S. corporation established in 1991 under legislation enacted by the U.S. Congress to promote active participation in the development and expansion of the economy in Bulgaria.
