Join us for the first session of a three-part webinar series, hosted by ABI Capital Partner SC&H Capital. This first session will discuss the sales of private credit lender collateral, as well as capture key considerations in mergers and acquisitions in the current and near-term markets. With a focus on the use of private credit and traditional and alternative financing vehicles, industry leaders will discuss how the strategies for and structures of merger-and-acquisition transactions have changed, and what is expected in the current, future and volatile markets. The third session, taking place in November, will address how officers and directors must focus on complex issues and elevated responsibilities in the context of these types of transactions. Attendees will gain valuable insights — from investment bankers, attorneys and financial advisors who are on the front lines of these kinds of transactions — that will inform them now and in the future.

Valuation disputes are a critical tool for junior creditors in chapter 11 cases, but their effectiveness depends on strategic timing and approach. This panel will examine key moments where valuation issues arise, including DIP/priming fights, adequate protection and financings with equity rights. Topics will include timing considerations such as access to valuation data, the impact of ongoing sale processes, and cost-benefit analyses. The panelists also will provide insights into how junior creditors can tactically engage in valuation disputes to protect their interests while navigating the complexities of large chapter 11 cases.

Financial projections often reflect the intent behind their creation, whether for sell-side transactions, buy-side due diligence, bank credit assessments, operational budgets or chapter 11 exit plans. This session will explore how these purposes impact the reasonableness of projections, including the potential for bias and the role of divergent stakeholder perspectives. Insights from company management, investment bankers, private-equity sponsors, creditor advisors, litigation experts and judges will shed light on best practices for evaluating the reliability and objectivity of projections in valuation and solvency analyses.
