Russet House Inc.

Expansion of Canadian food company in Peru. Our firm is advising Russet House—a Canadian company with extensive experience in the production and commercialisation of certain food products—on the development of a new production business line through two newco in Peru. Structuring and drafting transaction documentation: We have advised the client on the structure of the transaction, the drafting of the memorandum of understanding (MoU), and the incorporation documents for the newco. Peru emerging as regional hub for food supply: One of the most interesting aspects of this transaction is that our client already is a provider of one of the biggest worldwide chains of fast food and, therefore, the new production business will also be distributed to other countries of our region, making Peru the hub for the latter. Strategic partnership for high-quality food production expansion: Our client has found a potential partner with large experience in the production of food products with a high level of quality; which is the owner of a great land that would permit to develop the new business and moreover, it counts with enough additional space to eventually increase the initial production capacity; as well as with great workers with solid experienced and duly qualified. Latest development: We are providing advisory to our client on the formalisation of several contribution to capital and assets contributions.
