Bonelli Erede and Sutich Barbieri Sutich in the Ccpl’s debt restructuring
19 marzo 2019
BonelliErede advised the creditor banks involved in CCPL’s debt restructuring agreement under Article 182-bis of the Italian Bankruptcy Law. CCPL is the parent company of one of Italy's leading cooperative industrial and financial groups, operating in the fresh food packaging, real estate, construction materials and facility management industries.
Before signing the restructuring agreement, which was filed with the Court of Reggio Emilia, an application was filed pursuant to Article 182-bis, paragraph 6, and Article 182-quinquies, paragraph 3, of the Italian Bankruptcy Law, which was followed by the Court's authorization to maintain the self-liquidating loans granted by the banks.
BonelliErede's Restructuring & Insolvency Focus Team supported the banks with a team coordinated by the partner Paolo Oliviero and composed of the managing associate Lucio Guittilla and the associate Ruggero Battaglia.
CCPL was assisted by Sutich Barbieri Sutich Law Firm, with lawyers Giorgio Barbieri, Brunella Bertani and Alessandro Nironi Ferraroni, and by Bain & Company as financial advisor.
Conference "Le liquidazioni virtuose" - Mantua 5 and 6 October 2018
The lecture focused on the possible actions of the bankruptcy receiver on the debtor’s share capital. From a static perspective, such actions may be identified in those aimed at recovering the unavailable assets corresponding to the share capital of the bankrupt company.
From a dynamic point of view, also in light of the scenario set up by the draft of the new Italian Bankruptcy Law, the mentioned actions consist in (extraordinary) operations, directly or indirectly involving the bankrupt company’s share capital (or its subsidiaries), reorganizing - in a broad sense - the company’s capital and/or financial structure.
In this last respect, the lecturer examined the controversial issue of the bankruptcy’s impact on the powers of the corporate bodies and of the bankruptcy receiver during the insolvency proceeding or in the perspective of a composition with creditors (“concordato fallimentare”)
