The Lingen (Ems) Local Court has lifted the preliminary insolvency proceedings concerning the assets of ThomasLloyd Cleantech Infrastructure Holding GmbH. The company has thus taken a first important step towards averting the immediate opening of insolvency proceedings. However, this does not mean that affected investors can breathe a sigh of relief.
By order of 12 May 2026 (Ref. 18 IN 6/26), the Local Court of Lingen (Ems) has definitively lifted the previous order of 20 February 2026 concerning provisional administration and further protective measures under Sections 21, 22 InsO, after the protective measures had already lapsed by order of 29 April 2026. The insolvency proceedings initiated by a second group of investors are thus off the table for the time being, and the management has regained the power to dispose of the company’s assets.
Saved for now – but risks remain
Even though ThomasLloyd Cleantech Infrastructure Holding GmbH has successfully averted the definitive opening of insolvency proceedings at this stage, the situation remains highly sensitive for investors. Experience shows that the lifting of provisional insolvency administration does not automatically mean that the company’s financial problems have been resolved or that invested funds can be safely repaid.
“The lifting of the provisional proceedings can currently only be regarded as a temporary victory for the company. At the very least, it has managed, like the german figure named Baron von Munchhausen, to pull itself out of the slump of its own liabilities by its own hair. For investors, however, this is by no means a signal to become passive. Rather, the window of opportunity for waiting is now closing: outstanding and existing claims must now finally be consistently enforced through legal channels,” says lawyer Dr Sven Tintemann of the law firm AdvoAdvice Partnerschaft von Rechtsanwälten mbB, assessing the current developments.
Action required for investors: Enforcing claims through the courts
As the proceedings have been discontinued, the stay on individual enforcement and legal actions under insolvency law no longer applies.
Conversely, for creditors and investors, this means that the path is once again completely clear for the individual, judicial enforcement of claims for repayment or damages. Anyone who continues to hesitate risks coming away empty-handed should the situation deteriorate at a later date. It is therefore strongly recommended that existing claims be reviewed and enforced by a specialist solicitor in banking and capital markets law without delay.
Two further insolvency proceedings are ongoing
Two further insolvency proceedings against Vierte Cleantech Infrastrukturgesellschaft mbH and Cleantech Infrastruktur GmbH are still ongoing before the Local Court of Lingen (Ems). These have not been discontinued. The financial problems and challenges within the ThomasLloyd Group therefore persist in these specific instances.
