GA_P advises Homerun Technologies OY on the acquisition of Spanish company Urban Share
22 September, 2021
Gómez-Acebo & Pombo has advised Homerun Technologies OY (KODIT.IO) on the acquisition of 100% of the Spanish company URBAN SHARE, S.L. (“HOLA LUCAS”), a leading rental housing platform. Homerun (KODIT) is a Finnish multinational company specialised in activating fast real estate sales (iBuyer).
Finland’s Kodit.io, powered by artificial intelligence, helps sellers receive instant cash offers for their property. Its main goal is to help more people buy home ownership and improve the experience digitally.
On the other hand, Spain’s Urban Share specialises in rent to buy through a technological model, so that a young buyer can access a home by contributing only 5% of its value, when the current mortgage market requires the payment of more than 20% of the total value.
The GA_P team was formed by Pablo Fernández Cortijo and Rocío García de Oteyza, partner and associate in the Corporate area, and Ignacio del Fraile, partner of the Labour area.

Derogations from the principle of supervision in the home Member State in respect of information society services and control over content by means of an algorithm
The Court (Grand Chamber) defines the scope of derogations from the principle of supervision in the home Member State for information society services on grounds of public policy, security and safety, clarifying the distinction between general prohibitions and individualized measures directed at specific providers. It also provides important criteria regarding the liability of digital platforms, holding that control exercised by means of algorithms may preclude the application of the exemption from liability provided for data hosting services.

Are company directors directly liable for torts attributable to the company?
Debt from liability in tort for third-party damage or loss arises directly against the directors, without prejudice to the fact that, pursuant to Article 38 CC, it also arises simultaneously against the company, to which the non-contractual acts or omissions of its directors are also attributed. This is so true that the liable company (in debt, for example, with the tax authorities as the person liable for the surcharge and the tax penalty owed) may bring an action for contribution against its directors after settling the debt.

Voluntary takeover bids and squeeze-outs
The Judgment of the Court of Justice of the European Union (Fifth Chamber) of 13 May 2026 (Korfin and Sempiola v Slovnaft, Case C-225/25) clarifies the concept of a takeover bid for the purposes of Article 2 of the 2004 Takeover Bids Directive, such that an offer made to the holders of securities of a company with a view to acquiring all or some of those securities does not fall within the concept of a takeover bid where it is made by an offeror who already controls the offeree company. Consequently, based on that court’s interpretation of the Directive’s provisions, there is no right of squeeze-out in such voluntary takeover bids.

Severance pay is a claim against the insolvent estate - not an insolvency claim - if a pre-opening-of-insolvency-proceedings dismissal is ruled unfair post hoc
Notwithstanding a dismissal occurring before the opening of insolvency proceedings, if a court finding of unfairness and an employer decision to make a severance payment occur after, the dismissed employee’s claim must be deemed against the insolvent estate, even if the parties had reached a settlement, if such was reached also after.
