[Direct answer]In the Beijing area, there are reasons for bankruptcy or the possibility of losing solvency. According to the Enterprise Bankruptcy Law, if an enterprise legal person cannot pay off its due debts and its assets are insufficient to pay off all debts or it obviously lacks solvency, it may proceed with restructuring according to law; if the debtor meets the above conditions or there is a clear possibility of losing solvency, it may also apply to the people's court for restructuring. The applicants for restructuring include the debtor and the creditor. The creditor may apply for the debtor to be restructured, and the debtor may also apply for restructuring on its own. The application for restructuring shall be submitted to the people's court with jurisdiction and the corresponding materials shall be provided, usually to the people's court at the debtor's domicile. It should be noted that restructuring aims to rescue enterprises with a chance of recovery, and it differs from bankruptcy liquidation and bankruptcy settlement in terms of purpose and procedure.

1. Problem background and typical scenarios

When a company faces a debt crisis due to market changes or a tight capital chain, creditors will assert their rights. The company hopes to gain time to restructure its debts and resume operations to avoid entering direct liquidation and deregistration. Bankruptcy reorganization provides the company with a chance to recover, but there are clear conditions, subject and procedural requirements for applying for reorganization. The preparation of materials and the choice of timing directly affect whether the application can be accepted.

II. Key points of contention

First, the applicable conditions for reorganization and the determination of the reasons for bankruptcy. Second, who has the right to file an application for reorganization. Third, application materials and the jurisdiction of the court. Fourth, the differences and choices between reorganization and liquidation and settlement.

III. Professional analysis by Henglue Lawyers

First, applicable conditions: If an enterprise legal person is unable to repay its due debts, and its assets are insufficient to settle all debts or clearly lack the ability to repay, it may proceed with restructuring according to law; if the debtor meets the criteria for bankruptcy or has a clear possibility of losing the ability to repay, it may also apply for restructuring. Therefore, the threshold for restructuring is appropriately relaxed compared with liquidation, with the emphasis on rescuing the enterprise. Second, application subjects: Both the debtor and creditors may initiate restructuring applications. The debtor may apply for restructuring after entering bankruptcy proceedings, and creditors may also apply to convert a bankruptcy liquidation application into a restructuring application. Shareholders generally cannot directly apply for restructuring. Third, jurisdiction and materials: The application should be submitted to the people's court at the debtor's domicile, along with materials such as a statement of financial status, a list of debts, a list of creditors, financial accounting reports, and a feasibility plan for restructuring. Fourth, procedural differences: Restructuring involves developing a restructuring plan to clear debts and reorganize the enterprise's operations, with the aim of enabling the enterprise to recover; conciliation refers to the debtor and creditors reaching an agreement on debt repayment; and liquidation involves liquidating assets and terminating the enterprise. Henglue advises that enterprises should assess the feasibility of restructuring and prepare materials as early as possible in the initial stages of a debt crisis to avoid losing the basis for restructuring due to assets being disposed of by individual creditors. At the same time, the restructuring process involves the interests of multiple parties such as creditors, employees, and shareholders. It is necessary to communicate with key creditors early and develop a restructuring plan that takes all parties into account to increase the likelihood of the restructuring plan being approved. Additionally, enterprises should comply with the time limit requirements for restructuring and submit a draft restructuring plan within the prescribed period after the court's decision on restructuring, to avoid the procedure being converted due to late submission.

IV. Practical suggestions and legal basis

The first step is to sort out the enterprise's assets, liabilities, and maturing debts to determine whether it meets the conditions for reorganization. The second step is to assess whether the enterprise has reorganization value and feasibility, and form a preliminary reorganization plan. The third step is to submit a reorganization application to the people's court of the debtor's domicile, and provide materials such as a statement of the debtor's financial status, a list of debts, and a list of creditors. The fourth step is to cooperate with the administrator after entering the procedure to promote the formulation and voting on the reorganization plan. The main legal basis: Article 2, Article 7, and Article 70 of the "Enterprise Bankruptcy Law of the People's Republic of China" (implemented on June 1, 2007). Specific application shall be subject to the currently effective provisions.
