"Green" investments in Kazakhstan
The REVERA Kazakhstan team successfully facilitated a deal for an Asian investor to acquire a stake in a local company to secure further investment opportunities in alternative energy projects in Kazakhstan.
The client, an investment company specialising in construction and engineering in Asia, approached REVERA Kazakhstan with the task to support the acquisition of a stake in a Kazakhstani company that owns land plots with potential for construction of solar and wind power plants.
The lawyers conducted a comprehensive analysis of the request and elaborated a multi-stage strategy to implement the transaction.
The first stage included Due Diligence of the investee company and ended with a report on possible transaction risks and ways to minimise them.
The next stage of the transaction was formalisation of the purchase of a 12% of the stake in the Kazahstani company.
The first buyout was followed by formalisation of subsequent phases of the transaction and acquisition of the remaining 24% of the stake, subject to certain conditions.
The REVERA Kazakhstan team guaranteed protection of the client's interests and compliance with all legal norms and requirements at each stage of the transaction, ensured co-operation with local authorities and partners, as well as provided comprehensive contractual and documentary support for this project.
The outcome: the client was able to utilise the potential of Kazakhstani lands for alternative energy projects, including solar and wind farms, which strengthened its strategic position in the region of Central Asia.
