Financial Restructuring

Sometimes, financially distressed companies require a timely solution that does not include a bankruptcy filing. Michael Caolo & Associates has significant experience with assisting financially distressed businesses to identify options and solutions.

After completion of a thorough due diligence investigation, we assist a variety of constituents including debtors, creditors, equity holders and acquirers in analyzing, structuring, negotiating and executing the best possible solution outside of bankruptcy court. In this regard, services include the following:

• Restructuring of Bank and Other Credit Agreements

Structure and negotiate secured and unsecured facilities, letters of credit and other credit related agreements.

• Valuation of Collateral, Business and Securities

Assist and manage the valuations for collateral, cancellation of indebtedness income and general corporate purposes.
