Impact goes insolvent over a debt equivalent to three apartments' worth
Real estate developer Impact Developer & Contractor, founded
in the early '90s by businessman Dan Ioan Popp, has entered
insolvency proceedings at the request of construction firm
Romconstruct based in Ploiesti, which demands the payment of a 1.3
million-RON (308,000-euro) debt, equivalent to three apartments
built by Impact.
In response, the representatives of Impact, one of the few
developers to have built more than 1,000 homes in Romania, have
organised a press conference to announce they will challenge the
ruling of the Bucharest Court of Law. They say the firm has the
financial capability to pay the debt, which it does not, however,
acknowledge.
"I don't think we will get to the reorganisation stage, and even if
we do, the company's assets are worth around 480 million RON, while
the overall debts amount to just 150 million RON," specified Carmen
Sandulescu, CFO and minority shareholder of Impact.
