In a Communication has informed Unister Holding on insolvency. The lines are to sound reassuring. But what is really behind it? FOCUS Online has deciphered together with the insolvency expert Jens M. Schmitt man.
For many vacationers and travelers it’s a shock. Unister, operators of websites like Ab-in-the-holidays and Fluege.de is insolvent. The uncertainty about how it is to travel is great. The available information, however, is thin. From companies there are mainly a press release. But the real content reveals itself not always directly.
The communication states: “The e-commerce company ‘Unister Holding GmbH’ uses a provisional insolvency proceedings to secure its ability to act. The company’s holding had been shaken by the accidental death of its founder and partner a few days ago “
This means it. , the first sentence of the press release Direct’s interesting. This has less to the phrase “preliminary insolvency proceedings”. The usual. Because before the incorrect procedure is opened, the insolvency administrator must check first if the company can still be saved. More exciting is the second part of the sentence: “In order to safeguard its ability to act,” says da
Often this is just an empty phrase.. But here, the words are important. Because Unister Holding is a limited company. The accident Thomas Wagner was authorized Managing Director and held 40 percent of the shares. “Actually, the General Meeting takes a new CEO appointed” explains the insolvency expert Jens M. Schmitt man. “But the situation is opaque. For example, nothing is known about whether Wagner’s heirs inherit the legacy. Because it is possible that Wagner was received on loans many guarantees. That would not be unusual in a GmbH. “The heirs would then also take over his duties, if they want to acquire the shares. But at last it was said again and again that it does not stand well to Unister. Without managing but is a limited almost impotent. There is virtually no one there, the power of disposal has. with the appointment of a temporary administrator, there is now someone who can act on behalf of the society so that Unister again may participate in legal transactions.
What about the affiliates?
the communication states: “the insolvency application relates solely Unister Holding the operating companies of the group are not affected by the insolvency..”
This is what it : This sentence is important for Unister customers because this means that the subsidiaries continue to exist and carry out their tasks, the great.. question is, how long it is still like that. In the past, it was often the case that the subsidiaries of the parent company followed into bankruptcy. “It is also possible that the daughters are sold to satisfy the proceeds the claims of creditors of the mother,” explains Schmitt man
The communication states:. “the tragic death of the shareholder is not only personally, but also company law and economically an incision for the company,” Prof. Lucas Flöther which was used proposed by the shareholders of the district court Leipzig as provisional insolvency administrator. “The preliminary insolvency proceedings allows Unister Holding to remain fully operational during this difficult phase, and reinforce their unity as a company.”
That means The usual procedure after a bankruptcy is that an insolvency administrator is appointed. It ensures that no liquidity funds flow. Often it also checks, consist of prospects for continuation of the company. In the case of Unister Holding was chosen Lucas Flöther of the Registry Flöther & amp; Wissing, a very experienced insolvency. Flöthers Quote reiterates the objective of the act. The was no longer fully secured by Wagner’s death, as described above. The second part of the sentence indicates that Flöther will not sell parts of Unister
This is in almost every bankruptcy message
The communication states:. “the company’s business continues to run without any restrictions, the wages and salaries of employees are secured by the insolvency fund. Flöther has already contacted with financiers, suppliers and customers of the company in order to inform them of the situation “
That means . These rates are among the solid components each practical bankruptcy announcement. Only once everything is on. A settlement should be avoided at all. Because that would be the end of the company. The aim is usually to find a new owner. This is often easier if the company still exists. there is no buyer, only the sale of the building remains up to standard lamp, to get money in the treasury and to satisfy the creditors.
In reference to the employee but it is important to differentiate. Although Unister Group employs some 1,100 people. “The holding company itself but likely only a very small part of work,” says Schmitt man
“Short-term financial security”
The communication states:. ” ‘The provisional insolvency provides primarily short-term financial security’, so Flöther. ‘On this basis Unister Holding can then set up long term stable again.’ “
That means : The most important tasks the trustee belongs to secure liquidity. No believer should on their own, for example, can collect its unpaid bills by bailiffs. Therefore, the opening of insolvency proceedings for the described by Flöther “short-term financial security” makes
The communication states:. “developed Unister Holding GmbH and operates well-known Internet portals with primarily German domains. The services range from information about advice columns, to booking portals for hotels, travel and other services. The portals are operated by independent companies that are not affected by the insolvency. Unister was founded in 2002 in Leipzig. The Group currently employs around 1,100 people “
This means it. Finally, the message is again described the company. A typical end of a message.
What is not said
Exciting are the points that are not answered in the statement. For example, there is no indication on the ground for insolvency. What’s insolvency, indebtedness or impending insolvency? Moreover, nothing is known. Customers are also only mentioned in passing. It lacks an assurance about the fact that the holiday is, or the like safely. The reason may be that the holding company itself has no customers, but only acts as a holding company
