Maverick Advocaten successfully assists investment fund during investment test Vifo Act at BTI

Martijn van de Hel and Saskia Stolk successfully guided an investment fund in obtaining approval from the Bureau Toetsing Investeringen (‘BTI’) to acquire a company exporting military goods.

The investment fund invests in Dutch SMEs operating in various sectors. The target company operates as a supplier of precision metal components and (sub)modules. Some of the target company's products require an export licence for military goods.

On 28 February 2024, the investment was notified to the BTI under the notification requirement and investment test under the Investments, Mergers and Acquisitions Security Test Act (‘Vifo Act’). On 5 April 2024, the BTI informed that no review decision was required.
