重组上市交易(或称借壳上市)通常指收购方(或称借壳方)在取得上市公司控制权的同时或一定期间内,实施重大资产重组将外部资产注入上市公司,以使得上市公司主营业务、资产或收入发生根本变化,实现上市公司业务发展方向的转变,实现借壳方资产证券化的一种交易形式。上市公司作为交易主体参与此类交易,且该类交易的实施流程及审核流程与其他类型的上市公司控制权交易差别较大,本篇作为上市公司控制权收购专题系列文章的最后一篇,拟专题介绍A股重组上市的市场情况、交易架构,并进一步分析此类交易中的重点关注问题。

一、重组上市市场动态

经统计2011年至2024年6月30日期间成功完成的重组上市项目,各年度项目数量变化趋势、各板块占比及民营企业与国资企业占比情况如下:

Buying parts of a distressed company may offer great opportunities for buyers. When a company is struggling but not yet insolvent, external financing might dry up and the sale of non-core activities may be a last resort to generate fresh cash.

The Abu Dhabi Global Market (the “ADGM”) courts have recently handed down their decision in NMC Healthcare Limited & Others v Shetty & Others ([2024] ADGMCFI 0007). The decision deals with several important principles in relation to fraudulent/wrongful trading liabilities under ADGM law. Given the ADGM re-domiciliation (or continuation) regime, enabling companies incorporated elsewhere to be redomiciled to ADGM with relative ease, the decision is likely to be of interest beyond the borders of the ADGM.

In the recent decision Sian Participation v Halimeda (Sian), the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council (the Privy Council) held on a BVI appeal that a winding-up petition should not be stayed or dismissed merely because the underlying debt is subject to a generally-worded arbitration agreement.

引言

在新《公司法》实施的第一天,即2024年7月1日,北京市西城区人民法院微信公众号发布了其审结的首例适用新《公司法》第54条规定的加速到期规则的案件。

在该案中,经债权人申请,西城法院在执行程序中追加案涉公司的股东张某为被执行人。进而,西城法院根据新《公司法》第54条,对案涉公司股东张某适用加速到期规则,判决其履行提前缴纳出资的债务,在其未出资的范围内向债权人承担补充赔偿责任。

一、西城法院案例简析[1]

(一)案情概要

李某系案涉公司的前员工。因该公司拖欠工资,李某提起劳动仲裁。经仲裁委调解,双方达成调解协议,约定:公司应于2023年4月底前支付拖欠李某的工资70,000余元。随后,仲裁委据此出具了《调解书》。

因该公司未履行《调解书》项下的付款义务,李某以该公司为被执行人向西城法院提出强制执行申请。由于该公司名下没有可供执行的财产,西城法院裁定终结本次执行程序。

In the most significant decision of the decade on a matter of U.S. bankruptcy law, the U.S. Supreme Court rendered its highly anticipated decision in Harrington v. Purdue Pharma L.P., 603 U.S. ____ (2024) on June 27, 2024, striking down the non-consensual third party releases that were the cornerstone of Purdue Pharma's Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization by a vote of 5-4.

In the recent decision of Re PBS Building (Qld) Pty Ltd [2024] QSC 108, the Supreme Court of Queensland considered for the first time the operation of the State’s new project and retention trust account regime in the context of an insolvency.

导言

股东出资加速到期,是与注册资本认缴制紧密关联、对股东的法定出资期限利益进行限制与收回的“反向”制度。本次公司法修订中,该制度被深度重塑。

一方面,该制度的相关规定不再分散于其他法律、司法解释、会议纪要等文件中,而是首次明确规定于《公司法》中。另一方面,也是更为重要的是,本次制度调整是在资本制度改革的大背景下完成的。本次公司法修订的一大亮点是资本制度的系统化改革和完善,在股东出资层面主要包括有限公司收紧为五年内限期认缴制、股份公司重回实缴制、增加股东未按期缴纳出资的催缴失权制度、新增非破产情形下股东出资加速到期制度、明确股权转让后转让人和受让人的责任等,其中任何一项制度的改变均与其他制度的变化息息相关。

本文的目的在于揭示新《公司法》资本制度系统性调整的背景下,规则之间的内在联系和互动关系,帮助读者更好地整体性理解股东出资加速到期相关新规。

一、“股东出资加速到期”的两类情形

股东出资加速到期是注册资本认缴制下,为保护公司及债权人利益而限制股东期限利益的特殊公司法制度,[1]具体指在特定情形下,出资期限未届满且未完全实缴的股东,丧失原有的出资期限利益,需要提前缴纳出资。
