The insolvency of the SIGNA Group is the largest ever insolvency in Austria with debts reportedly exceeding EUR14 billion.
Recently, the three largest holding companies of the group started debtor in possession restructuring proceedings which allowed management to continue the day-to-day running of the businesses during insolvency proceedings. Due to an error in the timing of the proceedings, the non-operationally active top holding company (SIGNA Holding) was forced to end self-administration.
The timing of the insolvency applications of the three group holding companies meant that (due to the statutory deadlines) SIGNA Holding's restructuring plan would be voted on before the creditors of the affiliated holding companies had voted on their restructuring plans. Confirmation of the acceptance of their plans was required for the restructuring of SIGNA Holding which could not proceed without it.
