Under the terms of this report, creditors are informed that, in view of the intrinsic link between Inapa IPG's equity situation and the shareholder valuation of the group's companies and taking into account its exposure to rapid deterioration (e.g. due to cancellation of credit insurance, shortening of payment deadlines to suppliers, difficulties in accessing credit lines, reduction of stock, risks of loss of business and loss of human capital), a competitive process has been initiated with potential investors in Inapa IPG and its assets.
