We advised one of the leading insurers in Europe, Vienna Insurance Group (VIG), on the purchase of the remaining 9.17% shares in BTA Baltic Insurance Company (BTA). This means that VIG has become the only shareholder in BTA.
Seeing the positive tendencies and perspectives in the Baltic insurance market, VIG decided to acquire 100% of BTA shares in order to strengthen its position.
