Description

A head-to-head debate examining how the benefits and burdens of a restructuring should be allocated post-restructuring. Discussion areas include:

  • How to account for the fact that the compromise of even “out of the money” claims may contribute towards the benefits of a restructuring?
  • How should the court approach the retention of equity by existing shareholders?
  • Should courts treat future rent reductions as substantial contributions equivalent to new money?
  • How can market participants advise clients on this issue?
