Insights

French subsidiary insolvency triggered a debt default risk.

The initiation of Redressement Judiciaire for three French subsidiaries introduces court‑supervised restructuring dynamics. Administrators and a creditor representative are in place, and operations are slated to continue as Gauzy appeals to the Court of Appeal of Lyon.

The filing states the proceedings constitute a default under senior secured facilities. Gauzy is in discussions with lenders to remedy or obtain a waiver, but acknowledges no assurance of success and possible lender remedies, heightening near‑term balance‑sheet risk.

Key near‑term items are the appeal process and lender negotiations. The company also rescheduled its third‑quarter earnings release, linking communications to the French proceedings.

French Insolvency Proceedings

 

On November 13, 2025, the Commercial Court of Lyon, France, ordered the commencement of French law insolvency proceedings (“Redressement Judiciaire”) relating to three subsidiaries of Gauzy located in France. As is customary in such proceedings, the court ordered the appointment of two administrators and a creditor representative, responsible for advising the Company’s three subsidiaries in these proceedings. The Company strongly disagrees with the French court’s ruling and plans to have its subsidiaries appeal the decision of the court as soon as possible, while working collaboratively with the French administrators to quickly resolve the matter. The Company and its subsidiaries plan to continue normal operations as it seeks to meet growing customer demand.

 

Redressement Judiciaire are French insolvency proceedings aimed at preserving a company’s business and operations, maintaining employment and repaying creditors while allowing for a plan to enable its recovery. Gauzy plans to have its subsidiaries appeal the decision to the Court of Appeal of Lyon as soon as possible based on the Company’s assessment that these subsidiaries, with the financial support of Gauzy, have the financial means to meet their debts as they became due based on the group’s existing financing capabilities. However, pending this appeal, the insolvency proceedings will continue.

  

The Company is working to ensure its subsidiaries have the financial means to meet their debts as they become due. Gauzy remains committed to complete transparency, and as such will provide updated information on these proceedings as soon as more information is available.

 

The commencement of these insolvency proceedings in France constitutes a default under the Company’s existing senior secured debt facilities, which if not remedied could lead to an event of default.  The Company is in contact with its senior secured lenders to develop an appropriate plan to remedy or waive the default and work towards restoring the Company and its subsidiaries’ strong financial health and operational performance. However, there can be no guarantee that any such efforts will be successful and that such lenders will not seek available remedies to enforce their respective rights under their debt facilities. 

 

On November 14, 2025, the Company issued a press release discussing the French proceedings entitled “Gauzy Ltd. to Reschedule Third Quarter 2025 Earnings Release.” A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Report on Form 6-K and is incorporated by reference herein.

 

The information in this Report on Form 6-K (this “Report”), including Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto, is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing made by the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as otherwise set forth herein or as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
