High Court sanctions a scheme of arrangement, allowing a major banking group to reorganise its European consumer bank business. The decision facilitates the transfer of the business to a newly formed entity, which will subsequently merge with an Austrian credit institution. The original decision to restructure was based on strategic considerations to discontinue consumer services in the region. The court's approval was grounded on the fact that it enables a seamless transition with minimal disruption to customers, employees, and other stakeholders.
