WHOA SPECIAL – 4. TEIL
Das WHOA-Verfahren gibt Unternehmen in finanzieller Krise die Chance, ihre Schulden zu restrukturieren und so die Insolvenz lebensfähiger Unternehmen zu vermeiden. In den letzten vier Jahren hat sich das WHOA-Verfahren als flexibles Instrument für grenzüberschreitende Restrukturierungen bewährt, sowohl eigenständig als auch in Kombination mit ausländischen Verfahren wie dem US-amerikanischen „Chapter 11“ oder dem englischen „Scheme of Arrangement“ bzw. dem „Part 26A Restructuring Plan“.

Wagevoe
Since 1 January 2025, a new act was introduced for shareholder disputes: the ‘Act amending the dispute resolution rules and clarifying the admissibility requirements for inquiry proceedings’ (in short: Wagevoe). Before 2025, anyone who wanted to buy out a co-shareholder or leave a company could usually expect a long process involving various procedures. As my colleague Rick Dijksterhuis explained at the time in his earlier contribution on this bill, the legislator had one clear goal: to make the resolution of shareholder disputes faster, simpler and more practical. In practice, we see that this has an impact on the way shareholders litigate.

The moratorium under the WHOA
The Act on the court approval of private restructuring plans (Wet Homologatie Onderhands Akkoord, abbreviated as WHOA) makes it easier for a company in financial distress to sit down with its creditors and shareholders and make arrangements to restructure its debts. The annual report over 2023 of the group of specialised judges and staff tasked with implementing the WHOA (the WHOA Pool) shows, among other things, that in 2023, the moratorium (afkoelingsperiode) was the most frequently requested measure of all the restructuring tools offered by the WHOA.
