Real estate and trade - Further German Signa subsidiaries file for insolvency

Further German subsidiaries of Austrian investor René Benko's ailing real estate and retail group Signa have filed for insolvency.

Signa Financial Services GmbH, based in Frankfurt/Main, Signa REM Germany Rent GmbH and SCAx GmbH (both Munich) have filed for insolvency at the Berlin-Charlottenburg district court, according to court announcements. Berlin-based lawyer Torsten Martini was appointed as provisional insolvency administrator in all three cases.

The parent company Signa Holding had previously applied for restructuring proceedings under self-administration. The real estate and retail group consists of a complex network of companies with several hundred individual companies.
