In Financial distress firms lose value as customers who are afraid of not having access to future service leave, best employees start searching for new jobs, and managements’ time is devoted to searching for new finance not restructuring. Incentives become distorted and conflicts between debt and equity investors arise.
Management for value requires cutting the wings from financial distress spiral. As bankruptcies typically occur due to lack of liquidity, securing sufficient liquidity is a key.
In this webinar recording Matti Suominen, Professor, Finance, Aalto University School of Business answers to the following questions:
- What are the options?
- When is the best moment to seek liquidity from the financial markets?
- What financing solutions work best for distressed firms and why?
