Supernova Acquires Casetta Mattei Shopping Center in Rome

The Supernova Group, an Austrian private real estate company with an investment strategy focused on premium commercial properties, has acquired 100% of the share capital of Aurelia Trading, the company owning the Casetta Mattei multifunctional shopping center in Rome.

The transaction is part of a certified restructuring plan under Article 56 of the Italian Insolvency and Business Crisis Code and represents a further step in the consolidation and relaunch of Supernova’s real estate portfolio. 

The buyer was assisted by Andersen, which has also supported Supernova Group recently on the acquisition of the La Scaglia shopping center in Civitavecchia. The team was coordinated by Partner Paolo Trevisanato.  Partners Letizia Carrara and Giacomo Baldin led the professionals handling tax, financial, and legal due diligence. For the negotiation aspects, Partner Gherardo Cadore, together with the M&A group, oversaw the structuring and execution of the transaction up to the signing of the agreement. Finally, Partner Gianclaudio Fischetti led the restructuring team in Supernova’s debt restructuring and in preparing the certified restructuring plan, including reaching an agreement with the lending institution.

Dentons assisted Aurelia Trading’s main financial creditor in the context of the overall restructuring transaction and in defining the debt agreements, with a team led by Federico Sutti, Chairman of the Europe Board and Italy Managing Partner, supported by Counsel Andrea Trabucco and Associates Angelo Pasculli and Giacomo Arrighi.

Gianni & Origoni (GOP) advised the seller and Aurelia Trading in the overall restructuring and sale of the company, with a team led by Partner Filippo Cecchetti and composed of Senior Associate Gregorio Calabresi and Associate Giovanni Paolo Corsi for contractual and corporate matters, and Partner Paola Vallino for restructuring-related issues.

“We are very satisfied with the outcome. Through an integrated and synergistic approach among the different firms, the teams involved contributed to the success of a particularly complex transaction,” said Johannes Wurzer, Head of M&A at Supernova.
