Salans Paris assisted the Caisse des Dépôts et Consignation (French publicly-held largest
financial institution) in its purchase and subscription of 20% of the stock of Voltalia 's
subsidiary in French Guyana. The company produces electricity created through renewable energy and
is also a carbon credit operator.
This transaction aims at cofinancing Voltalia's projects in French Guyana, and can be
re-evaluated until 2011, according to the development of projects in various renewable energy
sectors.
Olivier Genevois and Sylvain Paillotin (on the corporate M&A side) and Olivier Laffitte and
Charles-Henri de Saint Julien (on the tax and regulatory aspects) advised the Caisse des Dépôts et
Consignation 's legal and operational teams in negotiating their share in Voltalia Guyane's
capital.
