A summary judge at the district court of Luxembourg has issued an order against Ardagh Holdings (AHSA), barring the company from proceeding with the sale of all or part of its interests in Ardagh Metal Packaging (AMP). The order follows an ex parte application filed by certain minority holders of the senior secured toggle notes due 2027 issued by ARD Finance, which was a parent company of Ardagh Group before its recapitalization transaction was completed in November 2025.

The order was issued against AHSA without the company having had an opportunity to present its position. AHSA said the application is without merit and stated that it is challenging the order, having filed an application for it to be withdrawn.
