RE: How US court deal with Cineworld is UK company?3 May 2023 21:35
Docket 1610. Page 61.
Under English law, a public limited company, such as the Cineworld Parent, cannot cancel its
existing equity interests and issue new shares of a company to creditors solely through a chapter 11 case.
As such, full implementation of the restructuring contemplated in the Plan will require additional steps to
be taken in England and Wales through one or more Implementation Mechanisms. The Debtors’ decision
regarding the Implementation Mechanisms will be reflected in the Restructuring Transactions
Memorandum and the Plan Supplement. Implementation of the Restructuring Transactions (including the
completion of the Implementation Mechanisms in England and Wales) is a condition precedent to the
Effective Date of the Plan.
