Investing in distressed entities or their debt or equity can represent attractive opportunities, but not without certain unique challenges, particularly in the post-COVID-19 era. Often these transactions occur out of court as that can be less costly and time consuming than traditional bankruptcy or other in-court processes. Our panel will review various ways to acquire a distressed company and the unique issues to consider in such transactions.
Key issues to be addressed by the panel include:
- sourcing and identifying distressed-company opportunities in the COVID-19 environment;
- the advantages and disadvantages of acquiring distressed debt, assets or companies pre-bankruptcy;
- what are the key constituencies in a distressed debt/company situation and how best to address their concerns?;
- special due diligence issues;
- how does an out-of-court transaction compare to a Section 363 sale ?
