(12) 信托计划中受托人对股权投资应当如何进行管理?
实践中,信托计划受托人取得股权主要基于两种情形,一是基于受托而取得股权,即委托人将自己合法持有的股权作为信托财产,转移至受托人管理和处分;二是基于投资而取得股权,即委托人先把自己合法持有的信托资金或其他财产转移至受托人,进而由受托人通过管理、运用该等受托财产,以增资、受让等方式投资取得股权并对该等股权进行管理和处分。
基于受托人取得股权的不同情形,受托人对股权投资的管理责任不完全相同。
如受托人系基于受托取得股权,受托人的股东身份更接近“名义股东”,其对投资股权的管理主要受限于信托合同约定的信托财产的运用及管理方式。
回购条款作为资管产品中常见的增信措施,资管新规对其有何影响?
资管新规之前,回购条款的效力得到法院普遍认可
回购条款本质上是一种逆向的、独立的交易行为,属于合同债权的范畴。其虽然具有一定的债权保障作用,但不构成债权担保的从属性,更不具有担保物权的优先受偿功能。因此,回购条款并非我国的法定担保形式。
资管新规之前,司法实践中,法院在考察当事人意思表示和内容的合法性基础上,一般会认可回购条款的合法有效性。
在“重庆国际信托股份有限公司与安徽三联实业发展有限公司等合同纠纷案”(〔2015〕渝高法民初字第00025号)中,法院认为,“《资产收益权转让及回购协议》系当事人的真实意思表示,不违反法律、行政法规的强制性规定,合法有效。结合信托公司提供的营业执照和金融许可证上载明的内容,信托公司签订的上述合同不违反金融监管部门核准的经营范围;且本案合同所涉的借款资金来源并不影响借款合同本身的效力。”
The Senate Legal and Constitutional Affairs Legislation Committee (“the Committee”) has endorsed the passing of the Bankruptcy Amendment (Enterprise Incentives) Bill 2017 (“the Bill”) in its report dated 21 March 2018.[1]
The Queensland Court of Appeal has upheld an appeal by the liquidators of Linc Energy Limited (In Liquidation) (“Linc”) and given full effect to their disclaimer of contaminated mining property and onerous obligations the subject of an environmental protection order (“EPO”) issued by the Queensland Department of Environment and Science (“DES”).[1]
On 28 March 2017, the Turnbull Government released draft legislation which would implement wide-ranging reforms to Australia’s corporate restructuring laws. The draft legislation focuses on reforms to the insolvent trading prohibition (Safe Harbour) and introducing a new stay on enforcing “ipso facto” clauses during certain restructuring procedures (Ipso Facto).
In a decision handed down earlier today, in Willmott Growers Group Inc v Willmott Forests Limited (Receivers and Managers appointed) (in liquidation) [2013] HCA 51, the majority of the High Court upheld the Victorian Court of Appeal’s conclusion that the liquidators of an insolvent landlord can disclaim a lease, thereby extinguishing the tenant’s leasehold interest.
