                Popovici Nițu & Asociații was nominated in four categories:
                
                  - Agro and FMCG (assisting Ameropa Holding on  the acquisition of Azomureş);

The award for the Largest  AGRO/FMCG Deal of 2011 was granted to Popovici Nițu & Asociații for  assisting the Swiss group Ameropa in taking over the largest fertilizer  manufacturer in Romania, Azomureş Târgu Mureş.
            “I  would like to thank the organizers for this award and for their constant  interest in monitoring the Romanian business advisory market. I would also like  to thank my team which, for the approximately 7 months that this deal lasted,  made extraordinary efforts in order to make this deal possible. The extraneity  elements (the takeover of the control over the assets fully located on the  Romanian territory was accomplished by taking over certain corporate vehicles  registered in the United States) and the difficulty to accommodate the position  of a heterogeneous group of sellers were the main elements in which the  complexity and beauty of this deal consisted”, states Bogdan C.
