    私募股权投资纠纷:优先清算权条款该如何执行
    2019-12-10

    优先清算权条款是境外风险投资项目的常见条款,随后逐渐在国内私募股权投资文件中采用。很多投资人关心,这一舶来品能否获得中国司法机关的认可,我们简要分析如下:

    一、什么是优先清算权

    优先清算权,是指公司清算时,部分股东优先于其他股东获得剩余财产分配的权利;或者,在约定的“视同清算事件”发生时,部分股东优先于其他股东从公司获得收益的权利,“视同清算事件”通常包括公司合并、被并购、出售控股股权、出售主要资产等事件。

    在私募股权投资项目中,投资人为保障其自身权益采用优先清算权条款,目的是:在公司经营不善遭遇清算时,投资人可以优先拿回一些补偿;在投资人无法通过公司上市退出,发生公司被并购等“视同清算事件”发生时,其能够优先收回其投资成本和一定程度的投资回报,实现资产变现。该条款可谓投资人的“分钱利器”。

    二、如何看待该条款效力

    《公司法》第34条明确规定股东可以自由约定“利润分配”的比例。该条规定:“股东按照实缴的出资比例分取红利;公司新增资本时,股东有权优先按照实缴的出资比例认缴出资。但是,全体股东约定不按照出资比例分取红利或者不按照出资比例优先认缴出资的除外。”

    破产法最新进展 - 香港法院促请涉及跨境债务重组的法院更紧密地协调
    2019-12-16

    大禹金融控股有限公司(前称为China Agrotech Holdings Limited浩伦农业科技集团有限公司)(清盘中) [2019] HKCFI 2531 (判决日期2019年10月17日)

    这是一宗关于对香港上市的离岸公司进行债务重组中获准并存债务偿还计划的案件。在债务偿还计划中,重组成本通常数额巨大,直接影响对计划债权人的回报。本案中,香港法院对使用并存债务偿还计划,以及重组成本和债权人回报之间的关系,提出了富有远见的意见。

    背景情况

    大禹金融控股有限公司(前称为China Agrotech Holdings Limited浩伦农业科技集团有限公司)(清盘中)(下称“公司”)成立于开曼群岛,并于香港联交所上市。公司自2015年初开始清盘,其上市状态是公司的唯一重大资产。公司大部分的债务均受香港法管辖。

    清算人已找到了一名白衣骑士,以进行债务重组和恢复公司股份的交易。拟议重组计划涉及对公司股本的重构和向投资者发行新股,收益将用于支付收购新业务的费用、公司重组费用和部分解除公司负债。债权人回报率约为4.28%,在开曼群岛和香港开展并存债务偿还计划,预期实现债务重组。

    新除牌制度与借壳上市规则
    2019-12-16

    ——新修订将如何影响上市公司重组

    作为打击壳股活动的一系列举措之一,香港联合交易所有限公司(以下简称“联交所”)修订了《香港联合交易所有限公司证券上市规则》(以下简称“《上市规则》”)中的大量条文,并发布了相关指引信。最新修订的条文于2019年10月1日生效,修订主要关于借壳上市和持续上市准则有关。其他已于2018年开始生效修订的条文与除牌机制和融资规则有关。除此之外,联交所逐渐加强了对新上市申请人的上市适合性审查。尽管这些修订主要针对壳股活动,但是也会影响其他重组活动,包括上市公司破产重组。

    我们将在本文中分享对上述修订及其对上市公司破产重组的影响的看法。本文不讨论《上市规则》中所有经过修订的条文,仅关注某些会影响上市公司重组的特定条文。

    除牌制度

    在2018年8月以前,根据《上市规则》第17项应用指引的规定,除牌程序由三阶段组成。但在2018年8月以后,除牌程序简单化,上市公司持续停牌18个月,联交所即可将其除牌。

    2019-12-26

    2019年12月24日,最高人民法院邀请全国人大法工委、司法部、发改委、人民银行、证监会等单位在京召开了全国法院审理债券纠纷案件座谈会,并讨论了《全国法院审理债券纠纷案件座谈会纪要》(征求意见稿)(以下简称“《纪要》(征求意见稿)”)。会后,市场成员对会上提供的《纪要》(征求意见稿)文本进行了认真学习与热烈讨论。大家普遍认为,该文件正式公布后,将成为司法领域第一份专门针对债券及其纠纷审理机制的文件,不仅为法院审理各类债券纠纷案件奠定坚实基础,更将成为市场成员合法合规开展债券业务、避免或减少法律风险的重要指引。

    九民纪要和资产证券化没关系?错!
    2019-12-30

    2019年11月14日,最高院正式发布第九次全国法院民商事审判工作会议的会议纪要——《全国法院民商事审判工作会议纪要》(简称“《九民纪要》”)。

    对资产证券化圈的许多机构从业者,《九民纪要》具体有什么样的意义可能不太熟悉。在这里,我们还是借用引言中的一句话来体现它的意义:

    “对当前民商事审判工作中的一些疑难法律问题取得了基本一致的看法。”

    《九民纪要》的条款中,与金融业务有关的就可以说是包罗万象。但在正式看条款和案例之前,不妨先再来品读一下它的引言部分:

    这些统领性原则,结合一些代表性案例,我们认为,会赋予证券化业务更多的司法支持。具体体现在:

    The interplay between insolvency and arbitration proceedings in Hong Kong
    2020-01-09

    Sit Kwong Lam v Petrolimex Singapore Pte. Ltd [2019] HKCA 1220 (date of judgment 1 November 2019)

    But Ka Chon v Interactive Brokers LLC [2019] 5 HKC 238 (date of judgment 2 August 2019)

    The Companies Court has changed the approach in which winding up proceedings are handled when the alleged debt is the subject of an arbitration agreement in the case of Lasmos Limited v Southwest Pacific Bauxite (HK) Limited [2018] HKCFI 426. In two recent bankruptcy cases, the Court of Appeal made obiter comments on the Lasmos approach.

    Demystifying Chinese insolvencies - all roads lead to the Mainland
    2020-01-13

    Chinese firms acquiring foreign assets has been a hot topic for some time. But one often overlooked question is what happens to those overseas assets if the Chinese business fails? Given the scale of Chinese investment overseas and the financial problems currently being experienced by many Mainland businesses, this question is of growing importance. Two recent decisions – one in Hong Kong and one in New York – address this issue and point to the growing demystification and recognition of Chinese insolvency law outside China.

    First recognition order granted by the Hong Kong Court to PRC insolvency practitioners
    2020-01-16

    CEFC Shanghai International Group Limited (in Liquidation in the Mainland of the People’s Republic of China) [2020] HKCFI 167 (date of judgement 13 January 2020)

    This is the first case in which the Hong Kong Court granted a recognition order to administrators of a PRC company appointed by a PRC Court. The case also considered whether a garnishee order nisi should be made absolute if a foreign bankruptcy order is made after the service of the garnishee order nisi.
