Court Approved Restructuring Plan

In order for it to be passed it requires 75% of each class of creditor and shareholders to agree to it.

However if one or more classes of creditor votes against it all is not lost. If the Court deem the proposal to be of general benefit to the majority of creditors without the dissenting classes of creditors being worse off than under a relevant alternative, it can approve the agreement regardless of the dissenting creditors.

This is unlike a Company Voluntary Arrangement (‘CVA’) where all classes of creditors must vote in favour by 75% or more for it to be approved.

Putting together a restructuring plan requires a large amount of financial and legal due diligence. The procedure requires two court hearings, the first to approve the classes of creditors voting and the second to approve the arrangement.
