»The Debt/Equity Swap within Insolvency Proceedings« The recently reformed German Insolvency Code (InsO) now allows creditors to enforce against the shares of an insolvent company. Using the example of a debt equity swap, the thesis scrutinizes the new insolvency regime and the surfacing frictions between insolvency law, corporate law and capital markets law. Given that insolvency generally wipes out the equity of a company the author favours the primacy of insolvency law (»Primat des Insolvenzrechts«) and concludes that the reform was required in order to ensure best possible creditor satisfaction.
