GA_P advises Arendals Fossekompani on the sale of Cogen Energía
29 July, 2021
Gómez-Acebo & Pombo has advised Arendals Fossekompani, a Norwegian listed company, on the sale of Cogen Energia to MET Group.
The sale of Cogen Energia is part of a strategic move by Arendals Fossekompani to exit all fossil fuel positions. Cogen Energia is recognised as a major player in the Spanish cogeneration market. Cogen Energia’s cogeneration plants use waste heat from gas-fired electricity production to generate steam for nearby industrial partners.
The GA_P team consisted of: David González, Ignacio de la Fuente and Miguel Azpeitia, partner, associate and trainee, respectively, from the Corporate area, and Luis Gil, of counsel from the Public Law area.

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.
