Question juridique clé
Whether the zero-capital cut and immediate re-increase satisfied Art. 732a OR's sanitation purpose requirement
Solution extraite
The measures were unlawful because no sustainable restructuring concept or accompanying measures were presented, so the general meeting could not assess a genuine sanitation purpose.
Motifs extraits
A zero-capital cut is allowed only as a true restructuring measure. If the capital increase alone does not eliminate overindebtedness, the board must present further measures forming a sustainable restructuring concept. Without that concept, the general meeting and shareholders cannot make an informed decision.
