In this case the product or the "know-how" of the company is of particular interest to a third party.

Restructuring by transfer in insolvency law means the sale of the assets of an insolvent company to another legal or natural person. This new owner is free from the old debts of the original company and this makes it possible for the operation to start afresh. This must be seen in relation to restructuring where all measures to maintain a company, operation or its parts must be taken under the previous legal owner in its narrowest sense. The creditors of the insolvent company are paid out on a pro rata basis from the purchase price  which the new business owner must pay for the assets being transferred.
