Under the terms and for the purposes provided for in Article 17 of Regulation (EU) No. 596/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council, Inapa – Investimentos, Participações e Gestão, S.A. ("Inapa IPG") informs the market, that the initial petition for insolvency has been submitted today to the Commercial Court of the Judicial District of Lisboa Oeste, as previously communicated on July 21.
The insolvency situation of Inapa IPG has arisen from a temporary short-term cash flow shortfall faced by its subsidiary, Inapa Deutschland GmbH ("Inapa Deutschland"), amounting to €12 million. Unfortunately, no solution to secure financing for this shortfall was found by July 22, deadline established by German law, which ultimately resulted in the filing for insolvency of Inapa Deutschland on that date.
The filing for insolvency of Inapa Deutschland had immediate repercussions on Inapa IPG. Consequently, the Board of Directors of Inapa IPG concluded that the insolvency of Inapa IPG was imminent and on July 21, having been resolved to file Inapa IPG for insolvency in accordance with Portuguese law, particularly considering the following points:
the German company Inapa Deutschland Holding GmbH ("Inapa Deutschland Holding"), a company that 100% controls Inapa Deutschland and which therefore became inevitable to also go into insolvency on July 22nd;
in this context, Inapa IPG is in serious difficulties to continue its activity, given the impacts that the circumstances described have on its relationship with financing entities, suppliers, credit insurers and other stakeholders.
Under the Portuguese legislation, it is now awaited the distribution of the insolvency process and the appointment by the Judicial Court of the District of Lisboa Oeste of the respective insolvency administrator, who will be responsible for conducting the process and determining the next procedural steps.
