“According to its own information, the debtor is not seeking to continue or restructure its company,” says David Schlepnik from KSV1870. According to the AKV, she is not entitled to self-administration. According to the information, 14 creditors and 4 employees are affected by the bankruptcy. According to the debtor, ongoing wages and salaries were paid up to and including the end of October.
According to KSV1870, the debtor, whose managing director was Marcus Mühlberger, was the sole shareholder of Leiner & Kika Möbelhandels GmbH and its operational management company until six months ago. The focus of the debtor’s entrepreneurial activity was therefore to hold the shareholding and to provide management tasks for this (later equally insolvent) company. The stake was sold and the debtor was then in final liquidation.
