11-11-2021
What is Pre-Pack?
Simply put, a Pre-Pack is an
informal out-of-court settlement/restructuring
between a
creditor and a debtor, with the advantage of a formal court-based
approval/enforcement system backing such restructuring.Pre-Pack has been in existence in
developed countries like the US and the UK for many years and has enjoyed a
fair bit of success. It has recently been introduced in India in a phased manner.
Why Pre-Pack?
•Amicable
– Facilitates resolution - It is
an amicable process, unlike CIRP which is perceived to be adversarial. It will
increase cooperation from management, reduce litigation and will allow for over
all ease of coordination.
•Reduced
Litigation - Reduce
litigation time, as pre-pack spends very little time court and only goes, to
get the seal of approval.
•Value Preservation - Lesser
disruption to business, no suspension of board, no transitioning of management,
inspiring confidence of business partners
•Confidentiality
– Confidence - Until a
rescue plan is in place, the proceedings are not public knowledge, quelling
panic.
