    Turbulent times ahead for struggling European businesses or more extensions? The upcoming spring ‘cliff edge’ or a softer landing?
    2021-02-17

    Over the last 12 months, global markets have been amazingly resilient, indeed even buoyant, aided in large part by governments around Europe and the world providing seemingly unlimited funding and extensive financial stabilisation measures, such as quantitative easing.

    This, coupled with protective legislation for companies to prevent insolvency filings and to ensure continued trading – for example, moratoriums, relaxations on insolvency filing obligations and restrictions on creditor actions – has given businesses significant breathing space and prevented widespread failures.

    Exemption from the mandatory offer in connection with the restructuring of the target company
    2021-02-17

    A report about the administrative practice of the German Takeover Panel in the last decade

    The exemption from the requirement to launch a mandatory offer based on the restructuring of a target company is the most frequently applied exemption from the mandatory offer procedure in German takeover law. In view of the expected increase of restructuring cases due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it is likely to become even more important.

    ドイツ倒産法の近時のアップデート(2021年2月16日号)
    2021-02-15

    I. 概要と背景 

    2021 年 1 月 1 日、わずか数週間の議会審議を経た後、いわゆる「事業再建及び倒産法の更なる発展に関する法律 (SanInsFoG)」によって、ドイツ倒産法に重大な変更が加えられました。また、2019 年 6 月 20 日の指令(EU)第 2019/1023 号により 国内移行が義務付けられた全く新たな倒産前事業再建措置(「企業の安定化及び事業再建のための枠組みに関する法律 (StaRUG)」)に加えて、ドイツの立法者は、COVID-19 パンデミックの影響を受ける企業への圧力を緩和することを目的として、2020 年前半に導入された規則の一部を修正する改正を行いました。

    Aufatmen bei Unternehmensleitern und Insolvenzverwaltern: Bundesgerichtshof bestätigt D&O-Deckung bei Insolvenzverschleppung
    2021-02-10

    Der Bundesgerichtshof (BGH) hat mit Urteil vom 18. November 2020 (IV ZR 217/19) entschieden, dass Ansprüche gegen GmbH-Geschäftsführer auf Ersatz von Zahlungen, die nach Insolvenzreife vorgenommen wurden, vom Versicherungsschutz der D&O-Versicherung umfasst sind. Mehrere Oberlandesgerichte hatten dies zuletzt noch anders beurteilt. In der Praxis hatte dies zu einer erheblichen Unsicherheit geführt, nicht zuletzt mit Blick auf die infolge der COVID-19-Pandemie vorübergehend geänderten Insolvenzantragspflichten.
