Episode 1: The third amendment to the Italian Business Crisis and Insolvency Code is now in force. Its reach extends across the full range of restructuring procedures, altering the conditions, requirements, and strategic value of each one. For companies in financial difficulty and the advisers guiding them, understanding what has changed, and what it means in practice, is now urgent.
A&O Shearman's restructuring specialists open this series by examining the key changes the third amendment makes to composition with creditors. What are the revised requirements for accessing the procedure? How have the rules governing creditor voting and plan content been modified? And what do the changes mean for the relative attractiveness of composition with creditors compared with other restructuring routes available under the amended code?
Corporate directors, legal advisers, and restructuring professionals beginning to engage with the new Italian framework will leave this first episode with a clear foundation for understanding how the landscape has changed and where the most significant practical implications lie.
