    CEOの綱渡りな旅 - フリーマネーからオペレーショナル・エクセレンスへ
    2024-05-08

    第3回は、「フリーマネーからオペレーショナル・エクセレンスへ」

    世界経済は2023年の多くの予想を上回り、2024年に順調なスタートを切ったようだ。中央銀行は、景気後退を回避しながらインフレを抑制するという、捉えどころのないソフトランディングを成し遂げようとしている。

    金利は今年中に低下し始めると見込まれるが、中央銀行はインフレを確実に抑制するために金利を高い水準に維持する決意を示している。市場では高金利の長期化のムードが続いており、昨年の米国金利は10年ぶりの高水準を記録し、10年国債の利回りは16年ぶりに5%の閾値を超え、低格付けクレジットの利回りは2008年の金融危機以来のピークに達した。アリックスパートナーズが毎年発表しているディスラプション・インデックスでは、CEOが2024年に自社のビジネスが直面する最大の脅威として「金利」と「インフレ」を挙げている。

    このような事業環境を考えれば、倒産が増加しているのは当然だ。昨年、米国の倒産件数は金融危機以来の水準となった。とはいえ、歴史を振り返ってみると、現在の資本コストは特別に高いわけではないことは認識しておくと良いだろう。いまこそ企業は10年間にわたるフリーマネー時代に萎縮した筋肉を鍛えるタイミングだ。これ以降で3つのポイントを紹介する。

    Directors' "Creditor Duty" in Singapore: Guidance for Creditors
    2024-05-07

    In its recent judgement of Foo Kian Beng v OP3 International Pte. Ltd. [2024] SGCA 10, the Singapore Court of Appeal laid down some key principles regarding the scope of directors' duties to creditors, i.e. the "creditor duty". These principles serve as useful guidance not just for directors to understand how they should discharge their duties but also for creditors seeking to hold directors to account. We set out some practical guidance for creditors on ensuring that directors discharge the "creditor duty".

    What does the "creditor duty" of directors encompass?

    香港公司清盘程序对内地债权人的影响(下篇)
    2024-05-13

    前言

    2024年4月8日,世茂集团控股有限公司(股份代号00813.HK,“世茂集团”)在港交所披露,中国建设银行(亚洲)股份有限公司于2024年4月5日向香港特别行政区高等法院(“香港高等法院”)提出对世茂集团的清盘呈请,涉及金额15.795亿港元。世茂集团极力反对该呈请,提出将继续推进境外债务重组,并于4月10日发布有关清盘呈请的进一步公告称,高等法院已将该呈请的首次聆讯日定为2024年6月26日,呈请人提交清盘呈请并不代表能成功进行清盘。

    而在2024年1月29日,香港高等法院对中国恒大集团(股份代号03333.HK,“中国恒大”)正式作出公司清盘令并委任共同及各别清盘人。2024年3月22日,中国恒大发布自愿性公告,称其已撤回向美国法院提出的境外债务重组协议安排申请。

    继中国恒大陷入严重债务危机并被香港高等法院颁布清盘令后,世茂集团近期被债权人提出清盘呈请的事件再度引发内地债权人关注。对于内地债权人而言,香港清盘程序究竟会对其产生何种影响?

    关于香港清盘程序以及清盘令的内容,以及香港清盘程序与内地破产程序的对比,详见我们在香港公司清盘程序对内地债权人的影响(一)一文中的分析。

    Pledged Equity Proxy Rights and the Rise of the Board Flip
    2024-05-14

    Borrower beware: in times of distress, your credit documents may give your secured lenders an opportunity to “flip” control of your board

    Distress happens, even at companies that once appeared financially solid. When it does, the company, its board (which may be controlled by a sponsor in a public or private equity scenario), and its lenders often enter into restructuring discussions in search of a consensual path forward, typically under the terms of a forbearance agreement.
