By judgment of 18 July 2023, the Tribunal d’arrondissement de et à Luxembourg (District Court of Luxembourg in Luxembourg City), sitting in commercial matters during its summer recess, ordered the liquidation and winding up of the public limited company FUCHS & ASSOCIES FINANCE SA (established and having its registered office at L-1724 Luxembourg, 47, boulevard Prince Henri, and registered in the Luxembourg Commercial and Companies Register under No B75842) and of its Belgian branch FUCHS & ASSOCIES FINANCE SA, SUCCURSALE DE BRUXELLES (established at Avenue de Tervueren 273, B-1150 Brussels) on the basis of Article 129(1)(2) of the amended Law of 18 December 2015 on resolution, reorganisation and winding-up measures for credit institutions and certain investment firms and on deposit-guarantee and investor-compensation schemes.
The judgment of 18 July 2023 stated that the winding-up order had the effect of withdrawing the authorisation granted to FUCHS & ASSOCIES FINANCE SA.
The same judgment appointed Ms Maria FARIA ALVES (Vice-President of the Tribunal d’arrondissement de et à Luxembourg) as official receiver and Alain RUKAVINA (lawyer with an address for service in Luxembourg) as liquidator.
Creditors are directed to submit their claims to the registry of the Tribunal de commerce de Luxembourg (Luxembourg Commercial Court) before 17.00 on 19 January 2024, failing which they will be time-barred.

Claims drawn up in a currency other than EUR will be converted into that currency at the exchange rate prevailing on the day of the winding-up judgment as published by the European Central Bank, and the payment of all claims accepted shall be in that currency.
No application may be made by the party or by a third party to set aside the liquidation and winding-up judgment. The latter shall with immediate effect be provisionally enforceable notwithstanding any appeal, before registration and without surety.
