Activation of the upload function in the schedule of claims portal
On 3 July 2024, the Private Bankruptcy Administrators published a provisional distribution list for the purpose of making an interim payment to the creditors with legally recognised claims. As part of this publication, these creditors were requested to provide the Private Bankruptcy Administrators with their bank details by completing and uploading a form in the schedule of claims portal.
Subsequently, the upload function in the schedule of claims portal was deactivated in order to prepare payments to creditors. However, a significant number of creditors had not completed and uploaded their form by this time. As announced in their communication of 12 August 2024, the Private Bankruptcy Administrators therefore reactivated the upload function in the schedule of claims portal (kuv-portal.envion-konkurs.ch). This means that these creditors now have the option of completing and uploading the form retroactively in order to receive the interim payment. The creditors concerned by this will be contacted and informed separately by e-mail.
Creditors with legally recognised claims who have not yet completed and uploaded a form are accordingly requested to do so in the schedule of claims portal (kuv-portal.envion-konkurs.ch) by 5 June 2025. The upload function will be available to these creditors until 5 June 2025. Alternatively, the form can still be sent by email to [email protected]. You will find instructions for completing the form below.
Provisional distribution list
The Private Bankruptcy Administrators (“PBA”) have decided to make an interim payment of 15 % to all creditors with legally recognised claims. Creditors with suspended claims will not receive an interim payment. However, any dividend due to them will be retained. They will therefore not suffer any disadvantage as a result of not participating in the interim payment.
During the period of inspection from 4 July 2024 to 24 July 2024, the provisional distribution list is available for inspection by creditors at the offices of the PBA, Wenger Plattner, Jungfraustrasse 1, 3000 Berne 6, and at the Bankruptcy Office of the Canton of Zug, Aabachstrasse 5, 6301 Zug. For a physical inspection at the offices of the PBA, please pre-register with the PBA. During the period of inspection, the provisional distribution list is also available to all creditors to be inspected electronically in the schedule of claims portal (kuv-portal.envion-konkurs.ch).
Any appeals against the provisional distribution list must be submitted to the II. Appeals Division of the High Court of the Canton of Zug, Supervisory Authority of the Swiss Federal Statute on Debt Enforcement and Bankruptcy (SchKG), Kirchenstrasse 6, P.O. Box, 6301 Zug, within twenty days of receipt.
Special notice
All creditors will also be sent a statement for the first interim payment (known as a special notice) with their personal details for the interim payment. Creditors in Switzerland will be sent this special notice by registered mail together with circular no. 6. In accordance with Article 232(2)(6) Swiss Federal Statute on Debt Enforcement and Bankruptcy (SchKG), the place of service for all persons concerned who are domiciled abroad and have not designated a place of service in Switzerland is – as already communicated in the bankruptcy publication and the call to creditors of 28 October 2019 – the Bankruptcy Office of the Canton of Zug. Accordingly, the special notice will not be sent to them by mail, but will be uploaded electronically to the schedule of claims portal (kuv-portal.envion-konkurs.ch).
