Here’s some information to assist you with understanding a Voluntary Administration.

The goal of a Voluntary Administration or VA as it is often referred to, is to achieve a better outcome for the company, its creditors and shareholders than would occur if the company entered directly into liquidation.

A Voluntary Administration provides the time, protection and flexibility for the restructure. It also provides directors with protection from personally guaranteed debts during the period of the Voluntary Administration.

During the Voluntary Administration process, there is a moratorium period of approximately 5-6 weeks in which creditors, subject to a number of exceptions, are prohibited from taking any action against the company to recover debts, enforce charges or have the company wound up without the consent of either the Administrator or the Court.

The Administrator will convene two meetings of creditors during the administration:

Held within 8 business days of the Administrator’s appointment at which creditors may vote to replace the Administrator and/or appoint a Committee of Inspection
Held within 25 or 30 business days after the Administrator’s appointment at which creditors may vote to decide the Company’s future.

The Administrator’s role is to take control of the affairs of the business, investigate the financial affairs of the company, report the findings and recommend to creditors one of the following three courses of action:

That the administration cease (and control of the company be returned to the directors);
That the company enter into a Deed of Company Arrangement; or
That the company be wound up as it is insolvent.
