Bucharest, 4 May 2026 – Wolf Theiss advised MidEuropa, a leading private equity investor 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 the receipt of the required regulatory approvals.

Wolf Theiss’ Corporate/M&A team assisted MidEuropa in the acquisition of RBC, a leading local provider of IT solutions for the retail and banking sectors. 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, supported by Iuliana Stoicescu, Smaranda Văcaru and Andreea Tudorache (all Senior Associates).

The 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, to refinance the target company’s existing indebtedness and to support the company’s ongoing capital expenditure and future growth through a dedicated capex and acquisition facility.

The Competition & Antitrust team, coordinated by Anca Jurcovan (Partner), together with Maria Popescu (Senior Associate), advised on merger clearance and foreign direct investment approval.
