Swiss Federal Supreme Court rules that shareholders have no say on asset sales in composition proceedings

The Swiss Federal Supreme Court has issued an important decision on asset sales during a composition moratorium. In essence, the court has clarified the following: - Like creditors, shareholders do not have standing to challenge a court's decision on asset sales during a composition moratorium. - If an asset sale occurs during a composition moratorium, no shareholder approval is required even if the sale relates to all or a significant part of the assets of a company. The decision removes legal uncertainty and will be helpful to structure and implement pre-pack and other asset disposal transactions under time pressure.
