Private Equity – Create Seller Incentives in Distressed Acquisitions – 2

When the subordinate debt schedule can be eliminated from the underlying value of business operations, transactions are streamlined because incentives are created for all parties.

Leveraging the strategic Article 9 short sale liquidates business assets into a new purchasing entity, preserving the continuity and full ongoing concern value of a target acquisition.

Sellers are incentivized with a path to a successful exit, where one did not previously exist. This is because the purchaser can enter at the attractive cost of liquidated asset valuation and thus strategically allocate value back to the seller in order to reconcile personal guarantees. The first position creditor recovers their appraised value on the collateral quickly, without the need for auction.

For the PEG professional, deals can be assessed without regard to the debt schedule, because the strategic Article 9 reorganization eliminates the need for complex short sales, subordinate creditor consents, or Chapter 11 / 363 sales.

solution but not all of it. Business owners personally guarantee A lot of their outstanding obligations And because of that
they don’t see a way out When someone comes in and solves
a portion of their problem. So coming in and purchasing just the debt Or reorganizing part of the business Only solves a portion of their problem And leaves the seller about
to file a bankruptcy anyway. And if they’re going to file a bankruptcy They’re going to do it now,
