Pro-Gest SpA Faces Financial Restructuring Amid Allegations

Italian paper and packaging firm Pro-Gest SpA, known for its proximity to Venice, is engaged in a court-supervised financial restructuring process following allegations of financial misconduct and defaulting on debt obligations. According to a report by Bloomberg, the firm's restructuring efforts, dubbed 'composizione negoziata,' were triggered after lengthy negotiations with creditors.

The restructuring process revealed notable mishandlings within the company's finances, as highlighted in a draft report by auditing giant Deloitte LLP. The report raised concerns about more than EUR80 million of transactions by Pro-Gest, including expenses related to a yacht and a prosecco winery. These revelations have raised questions about the private credit industry's risks, which increasingly lends to non-public companies with less stringent disclosure practices.

Carlyle Group's EUR200 Million Private Bond Deal

Carlyle Group Inc., a major private capital firm, extended a lifeline to Pro-Gest by providing EUR200 million in private bonds in 2020, amid rising demand for paper packaging due to the pandemic and pressure from a locally suspended plant in 2019. However, Deloitte's draft report, presented but not acted upon by Pro-Gest's board, unearthed potential breaches of the financial covenants tied to the Carlyle debt. Allegedly, 16 financial covenant breaches and 29 instances of misuse of company funds were identified.

Internal and External Repercussions

The firm's troubles have not gone unnoticed, resulting in an overhaul of its board and a sudden exit by the first chief restructuring officer. Pro-Gest's newly appointed CRO, Angelo Rodolfi, refuted claims of financial misconduct as "incorrect and untrue." Despite these allegations, Pro-Gest has proposed several measures aimed at alleviating its financial strain, including extending debt maturities, selling assets, and cutting rental costs.

According to data available on the IndexBox platform, the paper and packaging industry has been deeply impacted by such controversial debt restructuring cases, often influencing creditor confidence and highlighting the complexities within private financing.

The company's struggles could serve as a cautionary tale in the world of private credit, where lending to family-owned and entrepreneurial firms requires keen observation of financial practices. Companies like Pro-Gest, which sit outside the public trading sphere, have historically navigated less rigorous scrutiny, presenting unique challenges for their creditors.
