Do not wait too long to start the WHOA-proceedings
The Act on the court approval of private restructuring plans (Wet Homologatie Onderhands Akkoord or WHOA) makes it easier for a company in financial distress to sit down with its creditors and shareholders at the negotiating table in order to agree upon a reduction of its debt burden. These agreements are set out in a so-called private arrangement (onderhands akkoord). If not all creditors agree to this arrangement, it can be submitted to the court for ratification. If the court ratifies the arrangement (homologatie), the dissenting creditors will also be bound by the arrangement.

New Reporting Obligation for Businesses Under the Foreign Subsidies Regulation
As from October 12, 2023, certain undertakings within the European Union ("EU") that have received direct or indirect subsidies from non-EU member states are required to make a notification to the European Commission if they are involved in mergers, acquisitions, public procurement procedures or the establishment of joint ventures. This obligation arises from Regulation (EU) 2022/2560 on foreign subsidies distorting the internal market ("Foreign Subsidies Regulation" or “FSR”), which came into effect on January 12, 2023. The primary objective of the FSR is to reduce the distortive effect of foreign subsidies on the European internal market.
