‘Fifteen parties are interested in taking over 1DayFly.com after bankruptcy’

Offer website 1DayFly.com is bankrupt, after it was previously deferred payment. According to curator Martijn Vermeeren, fifteen parties are interested in a takeover. The bankruptcy could have been caused by a previous takeover.

The trustee mentions the number of interested parties to RTL Z. This would concern competing discount sites and suppliers, but also large parties such as publishers. The bankruptcy trustee also confirms that the suspension of payments has been converted into bankruptcy on Thursday afternoon.

According to the bankruptcy trustee, it seems that a failed takeover plays a role in the bankruptcy. A company that acquired 1DayFly.com would have underperformed much less than expected. However, he states that further investigation is yet to follow.

According to the curator, a restart is likely. Interested parties must submit their bid today at the latest. Six bids have been received, but the trustee expects this to rise. It is not yet clear when more will be known about a restart or new owner. The bidders and the bankrupt offer site will first enter into discussions with each other.

Last week, 1DayFly.com announced that it could no longer meet its payment obligations. The website was founded in 2006, a year after the launch of the comparable iBOOD. To grow, 1DayFly made several acquisitions of competitors, such as iOffer, waat.nl, HotBrandz and the German Guut.
