Abstract

The main features incorporated in the Schemes of Arrangement (SOA) in Malaysia under the Companies Act 2016 were designed over more than a century ago. For the first time, the company law framework has embraced corporate rescue laws with the introduction of two tailor-made corporate rescue mechanisms, Corporate Voluntary Arrangement and Judicial Management. This paper argues that the SOA, notwithstanding the presence of the corporate rescue mechanisms, may still be employed to achieve the objective of advancing corporate rescue for financially distressed private companies in Malaysia.
