Within five business days, ARMA must receive a proposal from Troostwijk Auctions to conclude the relevant agreement.
In case of failure to conclude an agreement with the winner of the tender, refusal to provide services under the agreement, or if the winner of the tender does not start the sale within the period established by the agreement on the provision of services for the organization of the sale of property, the second-place bidder in the tender, Boathouse Auctions (USA), may become the seller of Royal Romance.
In total, three bidders submitted applications to participate in the tender. One of them, Asset Reality Limited (USA), was not admitted to the tender due to non-compliance with the procedure and submission of an incomplete package of documents.
