This implies the dissolution of the entity, in bankruptcy proceedings, and the dismissal of the current administrators and their replacement by the bankruptcy administration.
This process is parallel to the pre-bankruptcy of creditors that the board of directors of Abenewco 1, Abengoa’s operating subsidiary, has requested for 27 companies, including Abenewco 1 itself, after its rescue request of 249 million euros was rejected by the Fund of Support to the Solvency of Strategic Companies managed by the State Company of Industrial Participations (Sepi).
