Clifford Chance guides Mezzanine Capital and J&T BANKA through combined refinancing and acquisition financing transaction

The Prague office of Clifford Chance has provided legal advisory to Mezzanine Capital, through MCI Eta s.r.o., and J&T BANKA in complex transactions involving the mezzanine refinancing of the RT TORAX Group and new acquisition financing of prime property "NORDICA BUILDING" located in the central part of Ostrava.

This transaction offered a complex solution for several simultaneous streams of financing for the RT TORAX Group and partially builds on the previous successful collaboration, where Clifford Chance supported the financing parties in the acquisition financing of GATE Nová Karolina in Ostrava from Passerinvest Group.

Mezzanine Capital is a leading and highly qualified provider of tailored credit solutions in the market, with extensive experience in banking and strategic advisory services. The company delivers the highest level of service through a wide range of financial (credit) products, as well as transactional and strategic advisory services, primarily in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and neighboring countries.

J&T BANKA has been offering services and consultancy since 1998, addressing not only the current needs of clients but also consider broader family relationships and a longer time horizon. The services of J&T BANKA include multigenerational asset and succession management, investment advisory, securities trading, asset administration and structuring. In addition, J&T BANKA also provides specialized financing in the real estate and corporate acquisition sectors.

RT TORAX Group is an investment group that was founded in 1994 in Ostrava by two patriots, Radek Šnita and Tomáš Häring. The investment group is active in many areas, including automotive and real estate, and develops its activities not only in the Moravian-Silesian Region. In the Nová Karolina area, the group is preparing the construction of a high-rise building that will exceed 200 meters and thus will become the tallest building in the Czech Republic.

The Clifford Chance team was supervised by partner Miloš Felgr and led by associate Bára Mika. The team was further supported by junior lawyer Sára Bartlová.
