Workshop 8
Insights new regulation on restructuring of banks after default
Presenter: Jeroen Vossenberg | Zeki Korkmaz
Function: Counsel | Lawyer
Description
Ever-rising inflation, unprecedented levels of unpaid taxes due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the nitrogen crisis stalling the Dutch housing market, bankruptcy numbers returning to pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels. And these are not even all of the issues threatening the Dutch economy at present. Are we going back to 2008? In terms of bankruptcies, that is actually not anticipated. Reason for this being the Pre-insolvency Scheme Act (Wet Homologatie Onderhands Akkoord, WHOA) that was introduced in the Netherlands in 2021. This law, modelled on, among others, Chapter 11 in the US, enables debtors to force creditors’ participation in an out of court restructuring plan to restructure and right size their capital structures. The number of companies using WHOA is steadily rising. And banks, as major creditors, are increasingly facing the consequences, with varying and interesting outcomes! In this workshop, by means of a case study we will explain how banks are involved in and affected by this newly introduced restructuring tool in the Netherlands and how banks can anticipate such proceedings to bank through crises.
