A Legal Review of Bills that can be Compensated as a Share Deposit in a Limited Liability Company (Debt to Equity Swap): A Study of Several Decisions in the Central Jakarta Commercial Court

Introduction

In an effort to save companies from bankruptcy, various strategies are employed, including juridical and non-juridical executions. Debt restructuring is a crucial aspect that can be categorized as a combination of these two approaches. This effort can be carried out both outside the bankruptcy process and during the process, in accordance with the provisions stipulated in Law No. 4 of 1998 concerning Bankruptcy. The implementation of debt restructuring is also governed by Article 28 of Law No. 5 of 1995 concerning Limited Liability Companies and PP No. 115 of 1999 concerning the forms of bills that can be compensated. However, the lack of understanding and low socialization regarding this matter, as well as conflicts of interest between debtors and creditors, often result in the not optimal utilization of debt compensation as stock deposits.

The purpose of this research is to examine the implementation of legislation related to bills that can be compensated as stock deposits, as well as the use of debt compensation as an alternative to debt restructuring in completing the bankruptcy process. This study uses a normative juridical approach and is carried out descriptive analytically, with the location of research in the Central Jakarta Commercial Court.

Research Methodology

The data source in this study consists of secondary data, which includes primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials, equipped with field research to gather information related to existing cases. Data collection techniques are carried out through literature studies and field research. Data analysis is applied qualitatively to gain a deeper understanding of the issue under study.

Results and Discussion

The implementation of regulations regarding bills that can be compensated as stock deposits can be divided into three aspects. First, companies that have received money or goods that can be valued by money will divert to third parties, and the third party will make compensation. Second, in the context of the company that acts as a debt guarantor for other parties, where companies have received benefits that can be valued with money, are often found in the world of investment, especially in insurance institutions and other financial institutions, including the government.

Benefits that can be assessed in the form of money have a broader meaning, including trust and investment value. An example is a service loan agreement guaranteed by the government, where the guarantor has fulfilled its obligations to pay off the company's debt related to the subrogation, as stipulated in Article 1400 of the Civil Code. This subrogation process is closely related to the process of debt compensation as a stock deposit.

Compensation Procedure

The procedure for compensation for billing rights as a capital deposit in the Company consists of three stages, namely the pre-GMS, GMS, and after the GMS. These three stages are important in ensuring that the form and type of limited liability company are considered, especially in the context of debt compensation as an alternative in the debt restructuring to complete the process of postpone the debt payment obligation (PKPU), in accordance with Article 212 of Law No. 4 of 1998 concerning Bankruptcy.

However, the use of debt compensation as a stock deposit in practice is very limited. Of the 179 bankruptcy cases and 49 PKPU cases, there were only three cases that carried out stock compensation. This shows that there is still a lot of space to improve understanding and implementation in this regard.

Recommendation

To increase understanding of debt that can be compensated as a stock deposit in a limited liability company, it is recommended that the authorities issue detailed and integrated guidelines. In addition, it is expected that there will be a revision of the Law on bankruptcy to accommodate debt restructuring, especially compensation as a stock deposit, as an alternative to clearer dispute resolution.

Thus, it is expected that the future of debt restructuring can be handled more effectively and efficiently, facilitate the resolution of conflicts between debtors and creditors better, and provide legal certainty for all parties involved.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the implementation of debt compensation as a stock deposit in a limited liability company is still limited. However, with the issuance of detailed and integrated guidelines, as well as a revision of the Law on bankruptcy, it is expected that the use of debt compensation as a stock deposit will increase. This will facilitate the resolution of conflicts between debtors and creditors, provide legal certainty for all parties involved, and improve the effectiveness and efficiency of debt restructuring.

Limitations of the Study

This study has several limitations. First, the study only focuses on the implementation of debt compensation as a stock deposit in a limited liability company. Second, the study only examines the existing cases in the Central Jakarta Commercial Court. Third, the study does not examine the impact of debt compensation as a stock deposit on the company's financial performance.

Future Research Directions

Future research can focus on the following directions. First, the study can examine the impact of debt compensation as a stock deposit on the company's financial performance. Second, the study can examine the implementation of debt compensation as a stock deposit in other types of companies, such as joint-stock companies. Third, the study can examine the impact of debt compensation as a stock deposit on the company's stakeholders, such as employees and creditors.
