- Easy cash! The capital markets remain hotter than ever and borrowers
continue to max-out their leverage and lower their costs of capital.
Aggressive lenders, hedge funds and CLOs still have bundles of cash and
are looking for creative ways to lend it. Over the past few years, this capital
competition has resulted in new structures, higher debt levels, reduced
covenants and lower capital costs. This panel of premier dealmakers will
discuss the latest structures and techniques to obtain the optimal capital
structure.

- Over the past few years, the corporate restructuring landscape has changed. It
has become truly global and the list of players has expanded to include private
equity and hedge funds, CRO’s and others. These developments have led to
increasingly complex restructuring transactions involving multiple jurisdictions
and complicated capital structures. Further, there have also been significant
reforms to key legal regimes governing restructuring and insolvency issues.
This panel explores what effects these recent developments in the corporate
restructuring landscape have had and will continue to have — with particular
focus on Europe, India, China, Canada and Japan — and considers what the
future holds for professionals and advisors.

- Confirmed Panelists: Andreas Beroutsos, McKinsey & Company
|
- This panel will discuss the governance advantage that private equity firms
use to their advantage. Research shows that three quarters of private equity
firms perform no better than the stock market over time. However, the top
quartile performing private equity firms outperform major stock market
indices by a considerable margin. Top quartile performance does not, as
many assume, result from financial engineering. Additionally, little of the
success is derived because firms paid less than prevailing market prices for
similar assets. Markets are reasonably efficient, and most assets are sold
through a formal auction process. Nor does it appear that top quartile private
equity firms obtain the bulk of their returns simply from a rising market.
The real, and often overlooked, source of success is the governance model
utilized by top quartile firms. This is an advantage that public companies find
hard to emulate. This panel will discuss the “governance arbitrage” advantage
top quartile private equity firms employ to drive superior returns.

- Acquisitions of public and private companies have reached record levels.
Accelerated due diligence periods and increased
costs are required to complete most transactions. Market activity has been fueled by the availability of attractive financing and
strong public company multiples. Transaction multiples have increased steadily
for small, mid-cap and large transactions and now average over 10 times EBITDA.
At the same time, increased leverage and operating pressures have stressed
capital structures and increased investment risks, resulting in numerous defaults
and opportunities to acquire distressed assets. This panel of leading private
equity and hedge fund partners will explore how to identify and develop unique
structures for acquiring and restructuring distressed companies and how to capitalize
on real estate and other undervalued assets. Topics explored by the panel
will include the emergence of joint ventures and strategic alliances employed in
the acquisition process and how long current trends will continue.
