VIVATIS Holding AG has acquired Frisch & Frost, which once again finds itself in Austrian ownership. The sellers, US and Holland-based foodstuff giant Lamb Weston / Meijer, which owned 75% of Frisch & Frost, and Raiffeisen Ware Austria, parent company of Raiffeisen-Lagerhäuser (25%), were both advised by Wolf Theiss.

Partner Christian Mikosch led the Wolf Theiss team, which further consisted of Associate Daniel Kocab and Associate Lukas Slameczka of the Corporate/M&A practice group. The team was responsible for providing advice in all legal matters.

The signing took place on 3 October 2017. The Austrian Federal Competition Authority is yet to approve the transaction.
