DORDA Supports PATRIZIA AG in the Purchase of a Residential Project Development in Graz
Stefan Artner, DORDA partner and head of the Real Estate practice group, and attorney Magdalena Brandstetter advised PATRIZIA AG on the acquisition of the residential project development "AIRA Tower" in Graz. They were further supported by associate Caroline Lessky. A particular challenge in the legal handling of the project were the regulations for the historically listed Villa Keil on the property. The urban planning specifications for the consideration of contemporary soft mobility (car sharing, cycling concepts, and incentives for public transport) also had to be taken into account.
"We have been advising PATRIZIA for many years now and are happy that we have now also been able to assist in this transaction," says Stefan Artner, head of DORDA's multiple award-winning Real Estate practice group. "The acquisition is a strategically wise expansion of our client's portfolio in Austria and shows that the Austrian real estate market is characterised by growth, development and sustainability despite the current corona pandemic".
The AIRA Tower with 104 apartments includes a commercial unit as well as a day care in a villa on the property, which is a historic landmark. The AIRA Tower forms the entrance to the Reininghaus Gründe district, a newly developed urban neighbourhood on the former premises of a brewery between Gries, Wetzelsdorf and Eggenberg. The AIRA Tower will be completed by the end of 2021 and will be part of an area of around 520,000 sqm consisting of apartments, local amenities, offices, restaurants and educational facilities. With the development of the district, Graz is reacting to the positive population prognosis of around 30,000 new inhabitants by 2028.

BOYANOV & Co.'s M&A and corporate partner Yordan Naydenov advised Valea Foundation on all Bulgarian law aspects of the acquisition of a minority package in the capital of FIBank (No.5 in terms of assets on the Bulgarian banking market).
On 2 July 2020, FIBank announced the successful completion of the capital increase procedure, where all newly issued shares were subscribed by the state-owned Bulgarian Development Bank and Valea Foundation.
Valea Foundation is the family foundation of Mr. Karel Komarek, one of the leading investors from the Czech Republic with various interests in the energy, tourism, gambling and other sectors of the economy. He is No.648 on Forbes Billionaires List 2020.
That was the first portfolio investment of Valea Foundation in Bulgaria, which is viewed by the investor as a promising and fast-developing EU country.
The capital increase procedure may have far-reaching political and financial consequences as the re-capitalization of FIBank was the last condition put to Bulgaria on its way to the ERM II, acceptance in the Eurozone and the Banking Union.

Morgan & Morgan represented Panamanian company Electron Investment, S.A. (the Issuer) in the public offering of corporate bonds for a sum of up to US$ 205,000,000 (the Bonds) in relation to Pando and Monte Lirio, two hydropower generating facilities that it owns and operates. For purposes of the public offering, Electron Investment, S.A. registered the Bonds with the Superintendence of the Securities Market of Panama under an abbreviated registration procedure for recurring registered issuers pursuant to Agreement 1-2019. The Bonds were successfully offered through Panama Stock Exchange, S.A. and were acquired by a group of institutional investors led by Banco General. The Issuer used the funds derived from the sale of the Bonds mainly to cancel the Series A of the corporate bonds issued under a public offering of bonds which is registered with the Superintendence of the Securities Market under Resolution No. SMV-407-15 of June 30, 2015 (the 2015 Bonds), and to cancel a subordinated loan with Banco General

Such amendment was registered before the Superintendence of the Securities Market under Resolution No. SMV-212-20 of May 15, 2020, mainly for the purpose of establishing that, once the obligations arising from the 2015 Bonds have been canceled, the Trust will continue to be in full force so as to guarantee the Issuer's obligations under the Bonds. The assets of the Trust consist mainly of revenue flows that the Issuer is entitled to receive pursuant to energy and/or power purchase agreements and transactions in the spot market. A pledge over the issued shares of the Issuer and mortgages on both movable and immovable property owned by the Issuer and related to the hydropower facilities have also been created in favor of the trustee.
Partners Ramon Varela and Ricardo Arias, senior associate Ana Carolina Castillo and international associate Miguel Arias M., participated in this transaction.

Refinancing in a Pandemic: Dinsmore Deal Helps Save Rupp Arena Renovation
The COVID-19 pandemic has ravaged the prospect of public events, and construction projects for facilities that house public gatherings have been left in limbo. Rupp Arena, home of the Kentucky Wildcats, is no exception. The landmark's renovation was first announced in 2014, and Lexington residents have been waiting for their promised state-of-the-art facility ever since.
While the pandemic threatened to drag out construction further, Dinsmore attorneys kept the process moving by assisting the stakeholders with a proactive "scoop and toss" solution.
Dinsmore corporate attorney John Rhorer and public finance attorneys John Merchant and Roger Peterman helped Lexington Center Corporation (LCC) refinance existing bonds. LCC owns Central Bank Center, which houses the Lexington Convention Center and Rupp Arena, where the University of Kentucky men's basketball team (eight-time NCAA champions) have played its home games since 1976.
In 2018, LCC financed the renovation of Central Bank Center through a series of bonds totaling almost $210 million. Those bonds were issued by the Kentucky Bond Development Corporation through a program to issue bonds for economic development projects that is sponsored by the Kentucky League of Cities. Those bonds are to be repaid from the revenues of LCC and certain hotel taxes levied by the Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government. Fast-forward two years, a pandemic took over, and the Central Bank Center was forced to close for months, resulting in a dramatic drop in LCC revenues and hotel tax receipts.
"Without the tax from hotels, visitor taxes or events being held at the Arena or Convention Center, there was no revenue coming in to pay back the bonds," said Merchant, co-chair of Dinsmore's Public Finance group.
Due to a different credit structure, the new bonds were issued by the Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government Public Facilities Corporation. Rhorer acted as corporate counsel to LCC in the bond deal, and Merchant and Peterman represented Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government and the bond issuer. All parties agreed to waive any conflicts. Commonwealth Economics, a Lexington-based financial advisory firm, was a key player in developing this creative approach to a short-term financial problem.
"We have a long-term relationship with Dinsmore and relied on them to advise us during these unique circumstances," said Bill O'Mara, Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government Commissioner of Finance. "Dinsmore stepped up on this unusual deal during an unusual time and succeeded in getting us the best outcome."
By recommendation of LCC's economic consultant, Tom Howard of Commonwealth Economics, structuring a refinancing to "scoop" up the debt service payments due for the next three years and "toss" the payments to the end of the payment schedule, Dinsmore helped provide LCC with time for financial recovery. The new schedule does not require any interest or principal payments until 2023. In normal times, this is not necessarily a commonly pursued method, as the borrower doesn't typically achieve significant debt service savings; but during a pandemic, it was the best option.
"Whatever the situation is, it is our job to navigate through the water and help our clients," Merchant said. "At the end of the day, we help solve problems any way we can. This deal just happened to be during a pandemic."
Cooperation by the Kentucky League of Cities, Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government, and even the University of Kentucky as a primary tenant was critical in solving the cash-flow problem resulting from the pandemic.

In August 2020, the Firm continued its longstanding pro bono representation of the National Citizenship and Immigration Council 119, which represents over 14,000 employees of the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services ("Council 119"). Council 119 has been a steadfast and vocal critic of the Administration's policies imposing limitations on refugees seeking protection in the United States.
First, on August 3, 2020, the Firm filed an amicus brief on behalf of Council 119 in a lawsuit pending before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit that challenges the Administration's policy requiring asylum-seekers to wait in Mexico pending adjudication of their asylum applications in the United States. The brief argued that requiring asylum-seekers to wait in Mexico results in a violation of the U.S. treaty obligations-the 1951 Convention on the Status of Refugees and the U.N. Convention Against Torture-as well as federal immigration law. The brief was filed by Muhammad Faridi, George Fleming, and A. Robert Quirk.
Second, on August 10, 2020, the Firm submitted comments on behalf of Council 119 in response to a proposed federal rule that seeks to limit asylum during public health emergencies. The comments argue that the proposed rule is contrary to Congressional intent as set forth in our nation's immigration laws and, if adopted, would also result in a violation of our international treaty obligations. According to the comments, "[a]t core, the measures that the proposed rule seeks to implement serve no public health purpose, nor do they advance our country's national security. Rather, they are draconian and contrary to our country's moral fabric and longstanding tradition of providing safe haven to the persecuted." The comments were filed by Muhammad Faridi.
