JunHe Assists CM Bermuda in its Debt Restructuring and Sale of SPNT Shares

On December 30, 2024, CM Bermuda Limited ("CM Bermuda") entered into an agreement with NYSE-listed SiriusPoint Ltd. (NYSE: SPNT), under which SiriusPoint would repurchase all ordinary shares and warrants held by CM Bermuda in SPNT for a total consideration of approximately USD 726 million. SiriusPoint would pay the amounts in two installments. The first installment of approximately USD 243 million and the related transaction costs of approximately USD 6.7 million born by SPNT were paid on the signing date. The transaction was expected to close by February 28, 2025, when SPNT would pay the second installment of USD 483 million to CM Bermuda. This followed the preferred stock settlement and partial equity repurchase agreement reached between CM Bermuda and SPNT in August 2024. The total amount of the two transactions was USD 987 million. Upon completion of the transaction, CM Bermuda would fully disinvest from SPNT. CM Bermuda is a wholly-owned subsidiary of CMIG International Holding Pte. Ltd. ("CMIG International"), an overseas investment platform jointly established by China Minsheng Investment Group ("CMIG"), Hana Bank, TBEA and Sun Hung Kai Financial. CM Bermuda is an overseas insurance and financial business and is the largest single shareholder of SPNT. SPNT is a global insurance and reinsurance underwriter headquartered in Bermuda, with offices in New York, London, Stockholm and other locations. It is licensed to write property and casualty insurance and reinsurance worldwide. According to SPNT's 2023 annual report, CM Bermuda held approximately 36.5% of SPNT's ordinary shares, approximately 210,000 ordinary warrants and approximately 110,000 preferred shares. CMIG suffered a liquidity crisis in 2019, which affected its subsidiaries while SPNT's stock price had eased since its merger in 2021, hitting a low of USD 4 per share. As a result of these liquidity issues, in December 2023 CMIG’s shares in CMIG International were taken over by a Singaporean receiver appointed by a syndicate of state-owned banks. This transaction became a crucial part of CMIG International's overseas asset restructuring and it faced complex cross-border and multi-party interest coordination challenges. The specific challenges include: (1) This transaction involved a special arrangement whereby a domestic syndicate appointed an overseas receiver. Since the transaction involved overseas assets, the domestic syndicate appointed an overseas receiver. The debt restructuring required balancing the interests of the stakeholders and maintaining the stability of the management team. (2) It involved complex prior financing and mortgage and pledge arrangements for overseas investment projects. In addition to the usual share sale, the transaction documents had to address special cross-border loan repayments and overseas pledge release arrangements. The parties to the transaction conducted thorough analysis, negotiations and risk assessments regarding the pledge of the target shares and the release thereof, the price payment and loan repayment arrangements, and the escrow of payment and release instructions, to ensure that the rights of CM Bermuda and the syndicate were fully protected during the transition period under the transaction documents. The legal counsel also had to consider the client's business needs and the receiver's professional opinions and ensure that the seller's rights and needs were reflected in the corresponding provisions. The legal counsel issued legal opinions, anticipated risks, and prevented malicious challenges from third parties. (3) The transaction had to comply with domestic and foreign regulatory and listing requirements as it involved regulatory and disclosure requirements for listed companies under U.S. and Bermuda laws. The project team cooperated in the disclosure and announcement of the transaction by the parties in strict accordance with the listing regulations within a short timeframe and met the regulatory requirements for the disposal of pledged assets and the receiver's process in both the domestic and foreign jurisdictions. (4) It involved multiple jurisdictions and different teams in the U.S., Bermuda, Singapore and China and the negotiations and document drafting were conducted in English. The opinions of different intermediaries in each jurisdiction, including top law firms such as Perkins Coie, Harneys and Drew & Napier, had to be reflected in the transaction documents and negotiations. The project team had strong English negotiation and writing skills, as well as excellent cross-cultural communication, understanding, coordination, and integration abilities. (5) There were many different time zones and a tight timeline. The project team  coordinated with different teams in China, Singapore, Bermuda, and the U.S. during the negotiations and working across the different time zones posed significant challenges to the team's endurance and stamina. As the transaction documents were finalized and signed during the Christmas holiday period, the project team faced great difficulties in advancing negotiations with foreign parties (including the buyer and its team) when there were significant disagreements between the parties. JunHe was the exclusive Chinese legal counsel to CM Bermuda and the legal counsel to the party leading the project. They closely collaborated with the receiver and the management team to facilitate the smooth progress of the project. JunHe participated in the transaction structuring, negotiated and revised the transaction documents, coordinated with the overseas lawyers and the various intermediaries, and assisted the syndicate and its advisors in advancing the transaction. JunHe also assisted with the contract signing and integrated legal opinions from overseas lawyers. With its efficient and rigorous legal services and detail-oriented and professional expertise, JunHe’s team was highly recognized and trusted by the client and the other intermediaries. Partner SUN, Jiangang (Roy) led the JunHe team and partner HU, Xiaohong provided great support for resolving potential disputes related to the restructuring.

JunHe Assists Dongying in the Court Approval of its Reorganization Plan

On October 24, 2024, the reorganization plan of Shanghai Dongying Real Estate Co., Ltd. ("Dongying") was approved by the People's Court of Pudong New Area of Shanghai Municipality. JunHe’s Shanghai office ("JunHe") acted as the reorganization administrator and assisted Dongying in achieving an important milestone in the work of ensuring timely deliveries of presold homes. The JunHe team was led by partner LIU, Zhengdong. Dongying is a real estate development company primarily engaged in the development of the real estate project "Yipin Yayuan" ("Dongying Huayuan" or "Binjiang Yipinyuan" for promotional purposes) located at No. 188 Puyi Road, Pudong New Area, Shanghai. During the construction of the project, Dongying obtained the pre-sale permit for Yipin Yayuan and sold 285 residential units. Then due to insufficient funds, the construction slowed down and even stopped twice, resulting in a failure to deliver the presold homes on time. As this project concerned the basic housing needs of numerous homebuyers, the People's Government of Pudong New Area of Shanghai Municipality included this project in its list of projects for which "timely deliveries of presold homes should be ensured” and set up a special task force to promote the work. On February 28, 2024, the People's Court of Pudong New Area of Shanghai Municipality ruled to hear the case of Dongying’s bankruptcy reorganization and appointed JunHe as the reorganization administrator. JunHe adopted a two-pronged approach to promote the continued construction of the project and Dongying’s reorganization simultaneously. Within 40 days from entering the reorganization proceedings, the debtor received a loan of RMB 130 million in the form of a debt for the common benefit. The proceeds of the loan were used for the continued construction and as a result, the project resumed construction as soon as possible. Meanwhile, the administrator publicly selected reorganization investors, promoted the negotiation and conclusion of the reorganization investment agreement, and drafted the reorganization plan. The draft reorganization plan was approved by an overwhelming majority in each voting group of investors and creditors. On October 24, 2024, the People's Court of Pudong New Area of Shanghai Municipality ruled to approve the reorganization plan of Dongying and terminate the reorganization proceedings. According to the audit and valuation conducted as entrusted by the administrator, Dongying had total assets of approximately RMB 4 billion and total liabilities of approximately RMB 10 billion. Its main assets were construction-in-progress, and its debts included financial liabilities, construction project debts, operating liabilities, and claims asserted by homebuyers due to its inability to deliver homes on time. The various claims required the administrator to distinguish and handle them differentially. With the strong support of the special task force, JunHe, as the administrator, adhered to the market- and law-oriented principles in the reorganization proceedings and addressed the reorganization challenges through multiple channels and means. This included fully utilizing the government-court coordination mechanism and actively communicating with governmental departments to ensure the safety and stability of the continued construction and comfort the homebuyers; introducing common-benefit debt investors to provide funds for the continued construction, thereby maximizing the value of the bankruptcy estate; fully negotiating with mortgagees to release part of the continued construction value of the collaterals, thus offering higher repayment possibilities for relevant creditors; holding regular communication meetings with homebuyers to update them on the progress of the continued construction, thus alleviating their concerns and misunderstandings and gaining their understanding and recognition of the administrator's work. JunHe was highly recognized by the court, the creditors and other stakeholders in this case. We will actively promote the effective implementation of the reorganization plan and keep the schedule of continued construction, the project quality and safety under control, so as to deliver the presold homes to their buyers for use by March 31, 2025. Partner LIU, Zhengdong led the JunHe team, and partner LI, Chenghao and counsel LIU, Xin were responsible for the specific work of the project. Partner DONG, Ming, counsel WU, Ling and partner CHENG, Hong (Julie) also provided great support for the project.

JunHe Assists La Chapelle in Obtaining Court Approval for its Reorganization Plan after its A+H-Share Delisting and the Granting of a Whitewash Waiver by the SFC

On May 16, 2025, the reorganization plan of Xinjiang La Chapelle Fashion Co., Ltd. (‘La Chapelle’) was approved by the Shanghai Third Intermediate People's Court (‘Shanghai Third Intermediate Court’). JunHe acted as the administrator, and partner Li Chenghao led JunHe’s team and acted as the principal. La Chapelle was established on March 14, 2001, and was formerly known as Shanghai La Chapelle Fashion Co., Ltd. On October 9, 2014, with approval from the China Securities Regulatory Commission, La Chapelle was listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (La Chapelle, stock code 06116). On September 25, 2017, La Chapelle was listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange (La Chapelle, stock code 603157). Due to incorrect judgments regarding the external environment and internal factors such as strategic misalignment, rapid expansion and imbalanced cost structures, La Chapelle began to incur operating losses in 2018. The situation worsened in 2020 with the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to multiple operational challenges. On May 24, 2022, due to negative net assets attributable to shareholders for two consecutive years (2020 and 2021), the company was officially delisted from the A-share market, and its A shares were transferred to the delisted company segment for trading. As the company entered bankruptcy proceedings and an administrator was appointed, trading of its domestic shares and H shares was suspended. On November 14, 2024, due to a suspension period exceeding 18 months, La Chapelle's H shares were delisted from the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. On February 2, 2023, the Shanghai Third Intermediate Court rendered a civil ruling ((2023) Hu 03 Po No. 64), accepting La Chapelle's bankruptcy and liquidation application. On September 12, 2023, the court ruled for La Chapelle's reorganization. On May 22, 2024, the Shanghai Third Intermediate Court issued a decision ((2023) Hu 03 Po No. 64-2), removing the original administrator and appointing JunHe’s Shanghai office as La Chapelle's administrator. After being appointed by the court, JunHe completed various tasks as the administrator. These included completing the creditor’s claim filings and verifications, asset auditing and valuation, signing reorganization investment agreements, drafting the reorganization plan, handling the substantive merger and reorganization applications and reviews, organizing creditor meetings, applying for a review of the H-share delisting decision, and making prompt information disclosures in mainland China and Hong Kong. Despite the delisting of La Chapelle's H-shares and being recognized as a public company by the Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong (SFC) , La Chapelle obtained from the SFC a conditional whitewash waiver letter (now an unconditional waiver letter). This exempted investors from their obligation to make a general offer before the convening of the investor group meeting. On April 1, 2025, La Chapelle's creditor meeting voted to approve the draft reorganization plan, with 100% affirmative votes in the employee creditor group and tax creditor group, and approximately 80% affirmative votes in the ordinary creditor group. On April 30, La Chapelle's investor group overwhelmingly approved the matters related to the investor’s interest adjustments in the draft reorganization plan, with the affirmative votes exceeding 99%. JunHe demonstrated outstanding professional expertise and collaborative capabilities in this case, earning recognition from the court, creditors, La Chapelle, investors, and various stakeholders. The administrator will continue to promote the implementation of the reorganization plan and assist La Chapelle with its rebirth and revitalization in the women's fashion retail market. Partner LI, Chenghao led the JunHe team and acted as the principal of the administrator. ZHU, Chong and counsel LIU, Xiaosen were responsible for the specific work.
