    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。

    2. 私的整理手続が活発な理由

    New preventive restructuring framework finally arrived in the Czech Republic
    2024-02-01

    After a delay of more than a year, an Act on Preventive Restructuring (the "Act") implementing the EU directive on preventive restructuring frameworks finally became effective in the Czech Republic on 23 September 2023. The long-awaited Act introduced a brand-new legal tool enabling viable enterprises in temporary financial distress to achieve restructuring outside insolvency proceedings. It is a voluntary and flexible process requiring cooperation with creditors, but not necessarily with all of them.

    Who can use it?

    Schuldkwijtschelding binnen het kader van een reorganisatieakkoord voortaan belast
    2024-02-01

    Het insolventierecht onderging recent een grote wijziging op het gebied van de reorganisatieprocedures. De fiscale wetgeving werd vervolgens aan deze nieuwe procedures aangepast en daarbij werden tegelijk ook de inhoud van een aantal belangrijke fiscale regels gewijzigd.

    De belangrijkste wijziging heeft als gevolg dat een schuldkwijtschelding binnen het kader van een reorganisatieakkoord fiscaal minder interessant wordt. Hoe dat precies zit, verneemt u in dit artikel.

    《公司法》对于“清算义务人”及“怠于清算责任”的重大修订解读
    2024-02-01

    引子

    将于2024年7月1日正式施行的《公司法》(以下简称“《新公司法》”)第二百三十二条对于“清算义务人”及“怠于履行清算义务责任”(以下简称“怠于清算责任”)进行了重大修订,无论是股份公司还是有限公司,董事都将成为法定的唯一清算义务人。该条规定的更新无疑将引发司法解释及其他配套规定的新一轮重大修改,并将对司法实践中本就争议颇多的怠于清算责任案件的裁判规则再次带来冲击。

    回望我国立法沿革,在超过三十年的时间中,对于“清算义务人”及“怠于清算责任”的规定修订之繁多、体系之冲突、解释之模糊,遍观整个民商事法律体系都属罕见,并由此引发了大量“类案不同判”的现象。鉴此,笔者将结合《新公司法》的最新修改,对涉及“清算义务人”和“怠于清算责任”的规定进行系统回顾及梳理,并以此为基础对《新公司法》的新修亮点及溯及力问题进行初步分析,抛砖引玉,并求教于业界。

    一、《新公司法》之前我国法律对于“清算义务人”与“怠于清算责任”的立法沿革

    (一)2005年《公司法》修订之前的相关规定
