GA_P advises FacePhi Biometrics on its new investment agreement with Nice & Green with a maximum value of 20 million euros
18 December, 2020
Gómez-Acebo & Pombo has advised on the design and implementation of the second equity line, for a maximum amount of 20 million euros, between the Swiss entity Nice & Green and FacePhi Biometría, S.A., a company whose shares are incorporated in BME Growth (formerly MAB). This operation was especially important as, due to its particular legal regime, the company could not delegate the exclusion of pre-emption rights, so the operation was carried out through the issue of warrants and a parachute resolution from the shareholders in General Meeting.
Guillermo Guerra and Jacobo Palanca, partner and lawyer respectively in the Corporate & Commercial Practice Area, advised on the operation.

Royal Decree 415/2026: key aspects of the new health technology assessment system
Royal Decree 415/2026 establishes a unified framework for the assessment of health technologies in Spain, distinguishing between the technical assessment and the administrative decision regarding funding, pricing or inclusion in the service catalogue, and incorporating the requirements of Regulation (EU) 2021/2282.

The Court of Justice of the European Union clarifies the impact on VAT of intra-group transfer pricing adjustments
The Court of Justice, in the Stellantis Portugal case, confirms that a transfer pricing adjustment intended to ensure a specific profit margin, even if certain repair or warranty costs are partially taken into account in its calculation, does not necessarily lead to the conclusion that there is an independent supply of services subject to value-added tax. The determining factors are the existence of a legal relationship involving reciprocal consideration and a direct link between the identifiable service and the consideration received.
