中国半導体大手の紫光集団は破産の発表後、新たな株主を取り込んでいるが、鴻海集団傘下の富士康工業互聯網（FII）も新株主として名を連ねており、今後総額約98億元（約435億台湾ドル）の出資を行う予定である。これにより鴻海集団の半導体事業ポートフォリオは大きな飛躍を遂げると見られる。
中国メディアの報道によると、紫光集団は7月11日に会社株式及び新任取締役、監査役、CEOに関する工商変更登記手続きを完了させている。これまで株主だった清華控股及び北京健坤投資集団は完全に撤退し、智路資本及び建広資産管理により立ち上げられた北京智広芯控股が紫光集団全ての株式を継承した。
業界の分析によれば、紫光集団の事業領域はメモリやIC設計に及び、同集団は中国最大のメモリチップメーカー・長江存儲や、独立系の携帯端末用チップメーカー・紫光展鋭の株主でもある。鴻海集団の紫光集団への出資は、鴻海集団のメモリ及び通信用チップ事業への参入、さらにはファウンドリ／製造、IC設計、OSATがワンストップサービスで行われることを意味する。メモリや通信用チップはいずれも現在鴻海集団で不足している半導体資源であるため、メモリーや通信に関する事業ポートフォリオを拡大できれば、今後半導体や電気自動車事業において大きなアドバンテージとなる。
On 05 July 2022, a Full Bench of the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) in Jaipur Trade Expocentre Private Limited v. M/s Metro Jet Airways Training Private Limited, Company Appeal (AT) (Insolvency) No. 423 of 2021, held that a claim towards unpaid license fees for an immovable property would constitute an operational debt under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 (Code) and consequently constitute a debt in default for initiating the corporate insolvency resolution process (CIRP).
Overview
In a recent decision of the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands (the “Court”) concerning a supervision order in respect of a Cayman company in voluntary liquidation, Kawaley J considered the settled principles in a solvent Cayman Islands liquidation involving a dispute as to the identity of the official liquidators to be appointed.
The Proceeding
Insolvency Practitioners should be alert to the potential impact of new and proposed corporate transparency measures.
Companies House reform and the new Register of Overseas Owners of UK Property will be largely welcomed, providing more in depth access to more reliable information which will support IPs when carrying out their duties. However, some of the insolvency specific details are yet to be confirmed and IPs will want to watch this space. We have set out a high level summary of the forthcoming changes below.

The Luxembourg act of 28 October 2022 introducing the procedure of administrative dissolution without liquidation (procédure de dissolution administrative sans liquidation, the "Administrative Dissolution Procedure") (the "Act") has just been published and will enter into force on 1st February 2023.
Background and objective
The purpose of the Act is to dissolve empty shell companies within a short timeframe at reduced costs for the Luxembourg State.
The perceived costs of proposing a restructuring plan are seen to be the biggest inhibitors to using the process for SMEs. It is still a relatively new tool and insolvency practitioners, lawyers and the courts are still grappling with it, but as we have seen recently in Amigo Loans it can provide creative and innovative restructuring solutions[1].
What this means for the shareholders of a business facing insolvency
Good afternoon.

Seahawk China Dynamic Fund: winding up on just and equitable grounds
In a recent decision, the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands grappled with the question of whether the need for an investigation into the affairs of the company is a stand-alone ground for winding up. While the Court did not determine the question conclusively, it did provide an indication of how it may rule if the issue were to be placed squarely before the Court again.
