Nanogate SE files for protective shield proceeding
NANOGATE SE / Key word(s): Insolvency Nanogate SE files for protective shield proceeding Göttelborn, Germany, June 22, 2020. The negotiations between Nanogate SE and its Group financing banks on the financing concept for the compensation of COVID-19 pandemic-related liquidity needs have failed. Nanogate SE will therefore file for bankruptcy in self-administration (“protective shield proceeding”) with the relevant district court immediately due to its imminent insolvency, with the aim of restructuring the company as part of the ongoing restructuring process. The negotiated financing concept essentially comprised a significant postponement of principal payments for existing bank loans. Because an agreement was not reached, an essential prerequisite for the long-term financing of the Group and securing its status as a going concern has not been met. The principal payments to be made without postponement and the resulting extraordinary termination rights from loan and promissory note loan agreements will lead to imminent insolvency. The protective shield proceedings shall apply to the parent company Nanogate SE and the subsidiaries Nanogate Management Services GmbH, Nanogate Kierspe GmbH, Nanogate NRW GmbH, Nanogate PD Systems GmbH and Nanogate Neunkirchen GmbH. Reporting party: Götz Gollan, CFO Nanogate SE
