General Motors will end production this week at the first of five North American plants it wants to close by early next year as part of a companywide restructuring.

The last American-made Chevrolet Cruze will come off the assembly line Wednesday at GMs sprawling Ohio assembly plant near Youngstown, GM spokeswoman Kim Carpenter said Monday.

The plant closings come as the Detroit-based automaker moves toward shifting its focus to making trucks, SUVs and electric and autonomous vehicles.

The United Auto Workers has sued GM over the closings, which still must be negotiated with the union.

Ohios political leaders along with union officials and workers are leading a campaign to save the Lordstown plant, but more than 300 alre…

Analysts said the MCA notification helps clear the ambiguity regarding who can approach NCLT for CIRP.

The government has allowed trustees, estate administrators, persons authorised by a companys board of directors etc to
initiate corporate insolvency resolution process (CIRP) against a corporate debtor before the NCLT, on behalf of financial creditors under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC), 2016.

In a notification, the ministry of corporate affairs (MCA) said a guardian, an executor or administrator of an estate of a financial creditor, a trustee (including a debenture trustee) and a person duly authorised by board of directors of a company may file an application for initiating CIRP against a corporate debtor before the adjudicati…

Divorce is not the only scenario in which you can be affected by whether you married in community of property or out of community of property, according to attorney Simon Dippenaar.

He points out that another major event to consider is insolvency.

What is insolvency?

He explains that insolvency is not the same as bankruptcy, although the terms are often used to mean the same thing. One is a financial state; the other is a legal procedure.

Someone is insolvent when they are unable to pay their debts, either because their liabilities exceed their assets, or because they have insufficient cash flow.

Bankruptcy

Bankruptcy, on the other hand, occurs when one of the following takes place:

  • A person or legal entity – that is a close corporation or comp…

    Carlyle Group is to provide funding to restructuring US-based Nordam to enable the aerostructures manufacturer and repair provider to emerge from Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.

    But the Siegfried family, which founded and still owns Nordam, will continue as a shareholder of the Tulsa-based company.

    The Siegfried family will retain its 50-year ownership and oversight of the business, and continue to lead the company forward, Carlyle Group says.

    No financial details of the transaction have been released; it is scheduled to be completed by June.

    Carlyle Group says that it will provide equity and new debt financing to de-lever the business and position the company for continued growth.

    Nordam entered Chapter 11 bankruptcy protectio…

    The Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India (IBBI) has come up with a charter of responsibilities for Insolvency Resolution Professionals (IRPs) and Committee of Creditors (CoC) so that stakeholders have a complete and clear understanding of their roles and responsibilities in a Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP) under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC).

    This charter, which is not mandatory, has been prepared in consultation with the three insolvency professional agencies that have been set up by the CA Institute, the Institute of Company Secretaries and the Cost Accountants Institute.

    This charter is only indicative and meant for the sole purpose of educating the stakeholders, said an IBBI official.

    While specifying th…

    When we think of celebrities, we always think of them as having tons of money. Money that will buy them luxury cars, destination homes and so much more. But thats not always the case.

    Many celebrities go from being famous and having it all to being bankrupt almost overnight. In some cases, this may be due to multiple expensive shopping sprees or being involved in messy lawsuits. Heres a list of celebrities who lost all their money (and possibly gained it back) at least once in their life!

    Michael Jackson

    When this famous pop singer comes to mind, bankruptcy is probably the last thing that youd think of. However, it was found that The King of Pop was approximately $400 million in debt at the time of his death in 2009! He took out several…

    Port of Tyne is axing a number of back office roles within its business as part of a restructuring exercise.

    The company confirmed that it is planning to make cuts to its support team, after making the decision to close its external haulage business in January.

    The firm has declined to say how many jobs may be affected by the redundancy round, as consultations with staff are still ongoing.

    A spokesperson for Port of Tyne said: As a direct result of ending the ports provision of distribution only transport, we are proposing some structural change which impacts a small number of support staff.

    The Port had operated a separate logistics businesses that handled goods that were not shipped through its facilities, but following the decision …

    Mumbai: A new amendment to corporate insolvency regulation prescribing stringent punishment for successful resolution applicants who fail to make promised payments is likely to protect the new bankruptcy law from frivolous bidders, lawyers said. The amendment comes after recent cases of backtracking by winning bidders in taking over debtladen companies.

    The latest of such example is the case of Chennai-based Orchid Pharmaceuticals, which owed lenders Rs 3,000 crore. Last week, a two-judge bench of the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) ordered the restart of the resolution process after US-based Ingen Capital Group failed to deposit money to take over the debt-laden company. Earlier, UK-based investor Liberty House had backed out after…

    Latest News

    Coolgardie Minerals has entered voluntary administration just months after gold production launched at its Geko project in Western Australia.

    The miner will put its Geko project up for sale while exploring other debt restructuring and capital raising alternatives.

    Mining issues at Geko had led to delays and significant additional costs, which were not budgeted and are unfunded, voluntary administrators Pitcher Partners said.

    In September last year, Coolgardie had an offtake agreement with Northern Star Resources for 100,000 ounces of gold from Geko at $1650 per ounce. This was expected to generate $10 million in revenue.

    Coolgardie managing director Bradd Granville said at the time, This agreement is a si…

    New Delhi, Mar 3 () State-run power giant NTPC has decided to acquire only those stressed power projects undergoing insolvency proceedings in the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), with an aim to get fairer deals.

    All those insolvency deals so far in the NCLT have got discounts of up to 70 per cent or even more from secured creditors.

    The secured creditors have a say on deals in the NCLT while views of unsecured creditors are not considered.

    Stressed power projects have been in favour of resolving issues and avoiding distress sale under the insolvency proceedings. However, NTPC would have greater chances of getting better deals via NCLT route.

    Earlier, NTPC had planned to acquire these stressed power projects through negotiations as w…
