Enforcement of share pledge(s) / Use Release Powers under the Intercreditor Agreement  Involves assuming control of operating entities by creditor holding share pledge.  Use the powers granted to the Security Agent under the Intercreditor Agreement to release debt and force creditors to take a haircut.  May involve new investment.  Newly-formed Special Purpose Vehicle purchases entity whose shares have been pledged through sale of enforced shares.

This resulted in significant tax challenges for both competing proposals.

The Rodenstock business  Europe’s fourth largest manufacturer and distributor of frames and spectacle lenses.  Maintained around 40 sales offices across the globe and major production facilities in Europe and Thailand. The financial situation  Rodenstock GmbH (“Rodenstock”) was main operating company in the Group with a turnover of approximately EUR million. Rodenstock Group’s aggregate annual turnover was approximately EUR million.  Outstanding senior debt of approximately EUR 305,335,000 secured by a market standard collateral package.  The syndicate primarily consisted of major banks. Only very few CLOs and hedge funds were present in the lending group.

Restructuring attempt  In mid-2009 the senior lenders formed a senior coordinating committee but lender group was fractioned and did not appear to act as a homogenous group with aligned interests.  Not able to agree on a straightforward transaction with another private equity sponsor initiated by Sponsor. Scheme in light of imminent threat of insolvency  Rodenstock and the senior coordinating committee took charge of the process in light of the imminent threat of insolvency proceedings.  Ultimately, the parties chose to pursue a restructuring by way of an English Scheme of Arrangement to preserve the going concern value of the Group.

| 18 A L A W F I R M S E R V I N G G L O B A L C L I E N T S KIRKLAND & ELLIS INTERNATIONAL LLP A L A W F I R M S E R V I N G G L O B A L C L I E N T S Restructuring Agreement and Scheme Restructuring Agreement  Rodenstock, members of the senior coordinating committee and certain other seniors entered into a Restructuring Agreement providing the framework for the proposed restructuring.  The framework contemplated implementation by means of a Scheme in case the restructuring could not be implemented consensually or by way of any other method.  The only other alternative option available seemed to involve a share pledge enforcement.

| 19 A L A W F I R M S E R V I N G G L O B A L C L I E N T S KIRKLAND & ELLIS INTERNATIONAL LLP A L A W F I R M S E R V I N G G L O B A L C L I E N T S Scheme Jurisdiction Re Rodenstock [2011] EWHC 1104 (Ch) Jurisdiction: “liable to be wound up under the Insolvency Act 1986”  Section 895 (2) (b) of the Companies Act 2006 is designed simply to identify the types of companies which may be subject to the Scheme jurisdiction.  Insolvency Act 1986 confers jurisdiction to wind up both insolvent and solvent unregistered companies with no express jurisdictional restriction to the company's place of incorporation, centre of main interest or establishment.  Nothing in either Judgments Regulation or the Insolvency Regulation (both came into force far later than the provisions on the court's jurisdiction to sanction Schemes) was intended to, and in fact does, restrict the scope of the “liable to be wound up” touchstone of jurisdiction, i.e. a company being eligible for the application of a Scheme of Arrangement.  However, Briggs J. left open whether and to what extent the Scheme Creditors must satisfy jurisdiction pursuant to Chapter II of the Judgments Regulation.  Unnecessary to resolve this issue because more than 50 percent (by value) of the Scheme Creditors, i.e. Rodenstock’s senior lenders, were domiciled in England.
