    上市公司破产重整中“红线问题”的解决思路——汇总解析近三年案例中资金占用及违规担保的应对方案
    2024-02-20

    引言

    2020年10月5日国务院发布的《关于进一步提高上市公司质量的意见》(国发〔2020〕14号)中明确规定,“上市公司实施破产重整的,应当提出解决资金占用、违规担保问题的切实可行方案”。2022年3月,沪深交易所分别发布《上海证券交易所上市公司自律监管指引第13号——破产重整等事项》《深圳证券交易所上市公司自律监管指引第14号——破产重整等事项》,进一步明确了上市公司在申请破产重整时,需要提交包含资金占用情况和违规担保情况的自查报告。至此,上市公司破产重整中两大“红线问题”暨资金占用及违规担保问题,已被提到了空前的高度。在重整前或重整中解决资金占用及违规担保问题已成为法院受理上市公司破产重整的必要条件。

    资金占用系指非经营性资金占用,即上市公司控股股东及其关联方非经营性占用上市公司资金,以及变相利用经营性资金往来的形式达到实质非经营性占用上市公司资金的行为。违规担保,系指上市公司及其控股子公司违反法律法规规定或公司章程规定,或超过规定限额对外提供担保的行为。对于陷入危机的上市公司而言,违规担保往往表现为上市公司为控股股东及其关联方提供担保,也是控股股东变相占用上市公司资金的一种形式。因此,资金占用及违规担保问题在上市公司破产重整中往往相伴相生,需要一并解决。

    What does an ‘insolvent trust’ mean for its creditors, and how can they be protected?
    2024-02-21

    The concept of an ‘insolvent trust’ is somewhat of a paradox. A trust is not a separate legal entity in the way that companies are and, as such, cannot be insolvent in the technical sense. Trustees legally own assets in a trust for the benefit of beneficiaries.

    5 Most Impactful Hong Kong Restructuring and Insolvency cases in 2023

    2023 was a busy year for the restructuring and insolvency industry in Hong Kong. we had a ground breaking decision of the Court of Final Appeal (CFA) ruling on the conflict between dispute resolution clauses and the Court’s jurisdiction to wind-up/bankrupt a debtor. We also saw the court extend and strengthen its reach to assist insolvency officeholders (whether appointed in Hong Kong or elsewhere).

    FTX: Forcing The Examiner Mandate in the Third Circuit
    2024-02-21

    It is a rare occasion that one can be assured with certainty that, if they file a motion with a bankruptcy court, it will be granted. But, in the Third Circuit, that is exactly what will happen if a creditor or other party in interest moves for an examiner to be appointed under Section 1104(c) of the Bankruptcy Code. Once considered to be within the discretion of a bankruptcy court “as is appropriate,” the appointment of an examiner is now guaranteed if the statutory predicates are fulfilled according to the Third Circuit Court of Appeals.

    庭外债务重组中的尽职调查
    2024-02-18

    企业发生债务危机拟进行债务重组时,企业的客观情况,包括但不限于企业集团的构成、资产、负债、业务经营等等,是企业自身选定重组方向制定重组方案、政府机关判断企业有无救助价值、债权人判断重组方案是否可行、投资人研判企业有无投资价值及具体投资方向的基本依据,故全面、及时地尽职调查对危机企业极有必要。然而应当注意的是,基于债务重组为目的的尽职调查与传统的收并购、IPO、债权融资等业务所涉尽职调查在尽调的对象、内容、方法等方面存在区别,应基于尽职调查的目的有针对性地设计尽调方案,进而获取对使用人有价值的尽调结果。本文拟对债务重组场景下“尽职调查”的目的、分类、尽调的主要内容及方法、以及尽调中的注意事项进行分析论述。

    一、庭外债务重组尽职调查目的概述

    尽职调查的目的是指导如何设计尽调方案、采取何种尽调方法、如何进行尽调结果披露的基础。举例来说,在股权收购项目中,收购方需对目标企业进行尽职调查,其目的是了解企业是否具备投资价值、并尽可能的发现可能对投资人收益产生影响的潜在风险;在资产收购项目中,收购方需对收购标的进行尽职调查,其目的是了解资产的客观状态及法律状态,确定收购资产的客观现状、法律权属、法律瑕疵等;而在庭外债务重组中,尽职调查的主要目的是了解企业的客观现状,以便确定如何化解其债务危机问题。

    2024 年の事業再生
    2024-02-02

    1. 始めに

    年始になると、今年の経済・法律情勢はどうかという話がよく議論される。特に日本はゼロゼロ融資の問題 もあり、法的倒産事件が増加するのではないかとも議論されるが、近時の情勢においては、それ以外のいく  つかの点に留意する必要があるように思える。概括すると、①法的倒産手続への社会の期待はそれほど大き くない状態にあること、②他方で、経済的苦境以外の法的問題点が増加していること、③もう少し幅広い視

    点で見ると、経済環境の変化をどのように捉えるか、という 3 点が重要といえる。

    Holt Fund SPC: Restructuring Officers, SPCs and the dual approach to solvency
    2024-02-02

    In the Matter of Holt Fund SPC (Unreported, 26 January 2024) is the first occasion where an application has been made to appoint Restructuring Officers over portfolios of a segregated portfolio company. At first glance the judgment appears uncontroversial. However, it highlights a lacuna in the law which readers should be aware of.

    Background

    The Petitioner sought the appointment of Restructuring Officers (ROs) in respect of two segregated portfolios of the Holt Fund SPC.
