Sumida, General Counsel Asian Development Bank Asia is recovering from the financial crisis of 1997–1998. Still, Asian economies must con- tinue to strengthen their legal and regulatory frameworks if they are to avoid a recurrence of such a crisis. In the face of continuing political uncertainties, predictable and transparent legal frameworks are needed now more than ever to encourage credit expansion and private sec- tor investment – factors that are so necessary for economic growth. The establishment and strengthening of legal frameworks and the restructuring of ailing corporations and banks are vital for sustained development in Asia. The Asian Development Bank (ADB) is actively promoting the development of sound legal frameworks to underpin insolvency and restructuring activities. In 1998, the ADB provided support for a comprehensive review of the insolvency regimes in 11 Asian economies. This has helped to identify and stimulate the development of best practice for insolvency law. Economies that are seeking to assess, revise and amend their insolvency legal regimes can use these standards as operational benchmarks. Sound laws, however, have little impact without transparent, predictable and effective judi- cial and extra-judicial processes, as well as additional enforcement mechanisms. For this reason, the ADB has assisted, and will continue to assist, its developing member countries in legal and judicial reform. Such reforms include alleviating court congestion, increasing access to justice, strengthening legal information systems and developing other related insti- tutional capacities. As recently as December 2000, the ADB approved a technical assistance project that provides training for officials at Thailand’s Business Reorganization Offi c e . Building on its previous innovative work in insolvency law reform, the ADB will launch a regional technical assistance project this year that will include Indonesia, Korea, the Philip- pines and Thailand. The project aims to strengthen regional cooperation in insolvency law reforms and will look at cross-border issues, informal workouts and judicial cooperation. As 2 Guide to Restructuring in Asia 2001 Foreword intra-Asian trade and commerce increase, the absence of cross-border legal regimes to deal with insolvency will become a pronounced problem. Top priorities for the project are enhanc- ing cross-border judicial cooperation and increasing understanding throughout the region of case management procedures. Equally important is the development of a "restructuring friendly" culture. The challenge for Asia is to foster, within the cultural context of each economy, an understanding and accep- tance of restructuring’s benefits among practitioners, business communities, government reg- ulators and legislators. This will require the comprehension of restructuring and related laws as they are actually applied by these parties and additional stakeholders. This is why I am very pleased to introduce this Guide to Restructuring in Asia 2001. In association with White Page and the participating law and accounting firms in the region, we have jointly developed a guide to the implementation of restructuring and insolvency laws in 11 Asian jurisdictions, as well as a comparative study of their application. The legal and accounting analyses are accompanied, in most cases, by an evaluation of implementation experience. We hope that the Guide will serve as a good basic reference, and that it will con- tribute in a practical way to Asia’s economic development. Gerald A. Sumida Guide to Restructuring in Asia 2001 3 Introduction Ronald Harmer, Staff Consultant Asian Development Bank This publication presents a guide to corporate res t r ucturing in 11 Asian jurisdictions. They are Pak- istan, Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Philippines, Japan, Korea, the People’s Republic of China, Hong Kong, China, and Taipei,China. They are collectively ref e r r ed to as the “11 jurisdictions”. Each jurisdiction is separately covered in the chapters that follow. The aim of the guide is to pre- sent, for the benefit of investors and lenders, the major res t ructuring and insolvency processes in each jurisdiction (this largely presents the legal position through the contributions of the various law firms) and to focus upon important issues that might affect or impede the application of those pro c e s s e s (this, in the main, will be found in the “Financial issues” supplements prepared by Pricewaterhouse- Coopers that accompany each legal chapter). Although the guide is centered upon re co n s t r uction and insolvency processes, these cannot be presented in isolation from other important related considera- tions. Thus, the guide also briefly reviews debt recovery and security enforcement processes and the judicial and administrative application of the processes. The main emphasis in the guide is upon the more positive and creative area of corporate restruc- turing processes and techniques. Accord i n g l y, this introduction contains a presentation of re s t ru c- turing processes, the forms they may take and their importance to the development and stability of the commercial law systems of the 11 Asian jurisdictions. The art form of restructuring Restructuring is variously labeled or titled as “rescue”, “reorganization”, “reconstruction”, “arrange- ment” and so forth. Whichever of those descriptions might be used, the restructuring of a corpora- tion that is insolvent or in financial difficulty involves the employment of a relatively basic

  • Brexit: a Unique Irish Opportunity for Cross-Border Restructuring? 14.02.2019
    briefing Brexit: a Unique Irish Opportunity for Cross-Border Restructuring? 14.02.2019 Certainty is a key element in any business planning. For corporate restructuring practitioners who are planning or working on cross border transactions, the uncertainty relating to Brexit and the departure of the United Kingdom from the European Union (“EU”) may have long-term significant consequences and a “no-deal” Brexit (without a withdrawal agreement and the certainty of a transition period) will have immediate and significant consequences for any such cross-border transaction. In this context, Irish law and the Irish Courts can provide practical and effective solutions to assist corporates (and their advisors) restructure their business and affairs in a straight-forward and easily understood manner. It is also an opportunity for the Irish legal system to demonstrate its value to international practitioners. This opportunity was also recognised in a recent proposal document to the Irish Government produced by the Law Society of Ireland and the Bar Council of Ireland entitled “Promoting Ireland as a leading centre globally for international legal services” (the “Report”). In the context of the UK’s exit from the EU, the Report states that “we foresee a meaningful role for Irish law in certain areas and industry sectors allied with the provision of a greater range of legal services in Ireland for the benefit of international and Irish business. In a number of sectors, we believe that Ireland as a location and the Irish law and the Irish Courts are and can be advantageous contractual choices for international clients (now or in the future)”.

  • Irish Examinership: Post-Eircom a Look at Ireland's Fastest and Largest
    A look at Ireland’s fastest and largest restructuring through examinership and the implications for the process Irish examinership: post-eircom A look at Ireland’s fastest and largest restructuring through examinership and the implications for the process* David Baxter Tanya Sheridan A&L Goodbody, Dublin A&L Goodbody [email protected] The Irish telecommunications company eircom recently successfully concluded its restructuring through the Irish examinership process. This examinership is both the largest in terms of the overall quantum of debt that was restructured and also the largest successful restructuring through examinership in Ireland to date. The speed with which the restructuring of this strategically important company was concluded was due in large part to the degree of pre-negotiation between the company and its lenders before the process commenced. The eircom examinership demonstrated the degree to which an element of pre-negotiation can compliment the process. The advantages of the process, having been highlighted through the eircom examinership, might attract distressed companies from other EU jurisdictions to undertake a COMI shift to Ireland in order to avail of this process. he eircom examinership was notable for both the Irish High Court just 54 days after the companies Tsize of this debt restructuring and the speed in entered examinership. which the process was successfully concluded. In all, This restructuring also demonstrates the advantages €1.4bn of a total debt of approximately €4bn was of examinership as a ‘one-stop shop’: a flexible process written off the balance sheets of the eircom operating that allows for both the write-off of debt and the change companies.

  • Singapore's New “Supercharged” Scheme of Arrangement
    KEY POINTS Feature Singapore’s new regime combines elements of the US Ch 11 process with the traditional creditor scheme of arrangement. Companies may apply for a broad moratorium that can apply to acts outside of Singapore. Moratoriums can also be granted in respect of certain related companies. There is a (cross-class) cram down mechanic in respect of unsecured debt, but its effectiveness in practice is uncertain. The changes include introduction of a “pre-packaged scheme” which bypasses the requirement for scheme meetings, where it can be demonstrated the outcome is a foregone conclusion. It remains to be seen the extent to which foreign courts will recognise and give effect to a Singapore scheme.

  • The Scheme of Arrangement: a Viable Option for Nigerian Companies In
    EMERGING MARKETS RESTRUCTURING JOURNAL ISSUE NO. 1 — SPRING 2016 The Scheme of Arrangement: A Viable Option for Nigerian Companies in a Downturn? By DIPO OKURIBIDO In Nigeria, large corporate bankruptcies are a rarity, and available literature on the subject tends to deal more with theory and provisions of existing law than with actual precedents and examples of lenders seeking liquidation, or to otherwise enforce security. Reasons abound for this situation, but perhaps the most striking of these is the fact that existing corporate insolvency legislation generally focuses on the actual liquidation of the insolvent company, as opposed to establishing buffers or moratoriums to create opportunities for its turnaround or rescue. The result of the limited insolvency regime is that Nigerian law establish a process for a Nigerian company to enter into a companies simply do not surrender to bankruptcy proceedings compromise or arrangement with its creditors or shareholders until there is clearly and absolutely no hope of survival. Up to (or any class of either of them). that point, in the gap between limping and dying, the tool of choice has been the Scheme of Arrangement.

  • Schemes of Arrangement As Restructuring Tools
    Schemes of Arrangement as Restructuring Tools Since the start of the current credit crunch there has been a huge increase in the use of schemes as a restructuring tool. In most cases a scheme will be the fall-back strategy for use in cases where consensual changes to creditors’ and/ or shareholders’ rights under finance documents cannot be negotiated. Often the need for a scheme will fall away, but the prospect of a scheme will have helped deliver the consensus. So as well as those schemes that see their way through to implementation, there are many draft schemes in the marketplace.
