A Step-by-Step Guide to successful Corporate Restructuring and Mergers & Acquisitions Exercise
2 Day Practical Hands-On Training
Today's challenging economic environment provides new opportunities to those who can react fast and react well. Therefore numerous corporations' executives are involved in re-designing their restructuring strategies. The two day Masterclass is created to support these efforts with the proven results of 20 years of path breaking research in the United States and in Asia Pacific, personally applied in M&A consulting in the US, Europe and Asia
Restructuring opportunities include a wide array of activities, and what is common among them is that they are all significant changes in the way the company functions. Restructuring can be the most effective way to adjust to major changes in the business and economic environment. At the same time restructuring can enable the corporation to have a significant impact on the market. The type of restructuring strategies available includes:
- Portfolio restructuring: significant change in the mix of assets owned by the firm, or the line of business in which the firm operates. Examples include: outright or partial purchase of companies or product lines, divestiture, asset sales, spin-offs.
- Organizational restructuring: significant change in organizational structure. Examples include: divisional redesign, downsizing by closing nonstrategic facilities.
- Financial restructuring: significant change in capital structure. Examples include: leveraged buyouts, leveraged recapitalization, debt for equity swap, share repurchase, increasing debt as a part of a takeover defense; or reducing debt as a preparation for future takeover possibilities or due to balance sheet and liquidity concerns.
