Corporate Debt Restructuring – The Who, What, Where, When, Why and How

Presented by: David Berliner - Partner, BDO Consulting, A Division of BDO Seidman, LLP

In today’s uncertain economic climate, companies large and small are seeking to become more financially stable and ensure they survive the current recession. Easy access to debt during the latest boom has left many, even successful, companies overly leveraged and searching for ways to reduce their current debt burdens. For many organizations, a restructuring of their corporate debt will help to alleviate cash flow pressures, thereby helping them survive until economic conditions improve.

This breakout session I will discuss:
 

• Corporate capital structures and the debt/equity balance within companies.
• Types of lenders and debt instruments in the current marketplace.
• Reasons why companies need/want to restructure their debt.
• How debt restructurings typically occur, including analysis, and negotiating.
• Common options available to companies in restructuring their debt.
• Examples of recent debt restructurings in the news.

This session will hopefully provide you with valuable information about how debt is restructured, which should be helpful to any business professional or entrepreneur in the current business environment. I hope to see you there!
