Group Restructuring

Group restructuring involves the legal, regulatory, and operational reorganisation of a corporate group to improve efficiency, prepare for a sale, initial public offering, or new investment round, separate profitable or higher risk activities into distinct legal entities, or comply with changed regulatory requirements. Neptune Fiduciaries Group advises on solvent restructurings that can be carried out without disruption to the group's ongoing business operations. Typical restructuring transactions include: intragroup transfers of business undertakings or specific assets, share for share exchanges between group companies, the conversion of a subsidiary from one legal form to another, and the winding up of dormant or redundant entities within a group structure.

A successful group restructuring requires careful planning across multiple dimensions: legal (ensuring that relevant corporate law procedures are followed, statutory requirements are met, and the restructuring is legally effective in each jurisdiction), tax (ensuring that the restructuring is structured in a way that is tax neutral or that any tax costs are minimised and planned for in advance), regulatory (obtaining any required regulatory approvals or notifications), and operational (ensuring that existing contractual relationships, employment arrangements, banking facilities, and licences are not disrupted or inadvertently transferred or terminated). Neptune Fiduciaries Group coordinates the multi-jurisdictional aspects of complex group restructurings and works alongside local legal and tax counsel in each affected jurisdiction.

Solvent Restructuring Without Business Disruption

Neptune Fiduciaries Group advises on solvent restructurings designed to minimise disruption to the group's ongoing commercial operations, customer relationships, employment arrangements, and banking facilities throughout the restructuring process.

Intragroup Asset Transfers

We advise on the transfer of assets, business undertakings, contracts, licences, and intellectual property between group companies in different jurisdictions, including the applicable company law procedures, tax treatment, third party consents, and regulatory notification requirements.

Share for Share Exchanges

We advise on share for share exchanges between group companies, including the merger and conversion transactions that allow entities to be moved up, down, or across the group structure without triggering unnecessary tax charges or requiring third party consents where not strictly required.

Demergers and Divisional Separations

We advise on the demerger of specific business divisions into separate legal entities, the restructuring of a group prior to a partial sale or IPO, and the legal separation of activities that are to be conducted under different ownership or distinct regulatory frameworks going forward.
