Gigaset AG i.L.: Management Board expanded; options for revitalizing the
company through insolvency plan proceedings / investor solution being
examined
Bocholt, February 8th, 2024 (09:52 a.m.) - The Supervisory Board of Gigaset
AG i.L., whose assets have been subject to ordinary insolvency proceedings
since January 1st, 2024, today decided to expand the company's Management
Board and to appoint Gerrit Jan Konijnenberg, Guoyu Du, Sean Hsin Jan Fang
and Ran Tao as additional members of the Management Board on an interim
basis for four months from February 12th, 2024. The current sole member of
the Management Board, Dr Magnus Ekerot, will remain Chairman of the Board.
The expansion of the Management Board takes place against the backdrop of
discussions between the insolvency administrator, Dr Markus Wischemeyer, and
Gold Gear Investment (Singapore) Pte. Ltd ("Gold Gear") regarding a possible
investor solution for the presentation of an insolvency plan to the
creditors and other parties involved in the proceedings. In order to
facilitate the process, Gold Gear has provided a temporary commitment to the
insolvency administrator to cover the ongoing losses likely to be incurred
in maintaining the business during the commencement of the insolvency
process. Gold Gear has indicated that it will submit a proposal for an
insolvency plan in the near future with the aim of restructuring the Gigaset
AG i.L. and terminating the insolvency proceedings.
The relevant considerations exist independently of the agreement announced
on January 24th, 2024 to sell the business and other assets of Gigaset
Communications GmbH to a subsidiary of VTech Holdings Limited.
The insolvency administrator is open to talks with Gold Gear in a
constructive manner with a view to satisfying the creditors of Gigaset AG
i.L. to the best of its ability. It remains to be seen whether and, if so,
within what timeframe an investor solution can be found and an insolvency
plan presented.
