Bucharest, 4 May 2026 – Wolf Theiss advised MidEuropa, a leading private equity player in Central and Eastern Europe, on the acquisition and financing of a majority stake in Romanian Business Consult (RBC). The transaction, signed on 1 January 2026, was closed on 30 April 2026 following receipt of the regulatory approvals.
Wolf Theiss’ Corporate/M&A team assisted MidEuropa in the acquisition of RBC group, the local market leader in IT solutions for modern retail and banking. The transactional team was coordinated by Ileana Glodeanu (Partner) with the support of Andreea Cărare (Counsel) and included Richard Clegg (Partner), Claudia Popescu (Partner), Boryana Filimonova (Senior Associate) and Marius Moldoveanu (Associate). Partners Claudia Chiper and Nicholas Coddington led the financing team involved in the transaction, ably supported by Iuliana Stoicescu, Smaranda Văcaru and Andreea Tudorache (Senior Associates), whose tireless efforts were essential in bringing this complex financing to completion.
Wolf Theiss’ Banking & Finance team provided legal assistance to MidEuropa on a senior secured financing package granted by a syndicate of banks comprising Banca Transilvania, Raiffeisen Bank and UniCredit Bank. The facilities were structured to finance the acquisition of RBC group and refinance the target group’s existing indebtedness, as well as to support the group’s ongoing capital expenditure and future growth through a dedicated capex and acquisition facility.
The Competition & Antitrust team, coordinated by Anca Jurcovan (Partner), alongside Maria Popescu (Senior Associate), advised on merger clearance and foreign direct investment approval.
