ACG Cincinnati: December Luncheon

Discovering Distressed Assets: How to Acquire & Invest in Distressed Assets

While acquiring distressed businesses offer the potential for extraordinary returns, transactions of this sort are brimming with novel financial risks and significant transactional complexity.  The panel for this luncheon program will include noted legal, investment banking and specialized lending professionals who will address such topics as:

• A discussion of the process - why/how certain PE funds were chosen to review the offering
• The offers - from a) initial indications of interest, through b) letters of intent.  How they were reviewed, clarified and negotiated
• Evaluating creditor positions and negotiating with creditors, pre-transaction
• Managing pre-transaction execution risks, including dealing with key employees, vendors, customers and creditors
• Employing alternative transaction approaches: How does U.C.C. Article 9 and Section 363 of Chapter 11, of the US Bankruptcy Code, among other methods, work?
• Financing resources and common approaches to financing
• Post-closing operating structures, including 30/60/90 day operating and financial plans
