Lively interest in this year’s Restructuring Evening in Oldenburg

The Oldenburg Restructuring Evening is an exchange format in the Weser-Ems region for bank representatives with restructuring and reorganisation responsibilities that has grown over many years.

At the end of March it was that ­time again: ­comes invited to the Oldenburger ­Saniererabend – this ­year for ­the ­first time in ­a ­digital ­format ­due to the COVID-19 circumstances.

­Under the ­special ­conditions of the ­pandemic, it was necessary to ­realize the ­event in ­a ­virtual framework ­and ­at the same time to ­embed ­the ­established ­structure of ­open ­exchange possibilities­.

All the more ­pleasing ­was this year’s ­lively ­interest on the part of the ­banks, which was also ­made­ clear by ­the ­increased ­number of participants. ­In addition to almost 30 ­new and ­familiar ­faces ­from savings banks­, credit unions, ­state ­banks­ and ­private banks ­from the ­Weser-Ems region, this ­year ­we were ­also ­able to ­welcome ­individual ­bankers from neighbouring ­regions.

­The ­event­ began with ­a ­short ­survey on the ­current ­restructuring and ­insolvency situation ­in the institutions­, before Mr Silvio Höfer from anchor Rechtsanwaltsgesellschaft in ­Hanover ­gave ­an ­exciting ­insight into ­his ­work in the ­context of ­a ­self-administration ­for ­a ­special engine manufacturer. Dr. Christoph Bode, ­lawyer and ­insolvency expert from ­Oldenburg, ­then ­reported on ­the ­changes brought about by the SanInsFoG and the ­significant ­effects according to ­his ­assessment.

­The event ­was­ concluded by ­a ­lively ­round of discussions­, ­ranging from the possibilities for ­banks ­to be ­involved in ­self-administration proceedings to the ­new ­tightening of the ­risk assessment of ­credit exposures­.

We ­thank ­all ­participants ­for their ­interest and ­look forward to ­meeting ­again­ soon in ­person­.

­The introductory ­topics of the evening with the ­survey results can ­be found in ­our ­presentation:
