Munich — Kirk­land & Ellis has advi­sed the lenders of LEONI AG’s €750 million RCF faci­lity on the German auto­mo­tive supplier’s land­mark restructuring.

The LEONI restruc­tu­ring is by far the largest procee­dings under the German Act on the Stabi­liza­tion and Restruc­tu­ring of Compa­nies (StaRUG) since it came into force in Janu­ary 2021 and a mile­stone in the German restruc­tu­ring landscape.

LEONI is a global provi­der of products, solu­ti­ons and services for energy and data manage­ment in the auto­mo­tive and other indus­tries. The value chain includes wires, opti­cal fibers, stan­dar­di­zed cables, special cables and assem­bled systems as well as intel­li­gent products and smart services.
