Georgia State Approved Sessions

Sponsored by SRS Acquiom Rising U.S. interest rates, a tightening money supply, continued inflation and geopolitical uncertainty are all contributing to uncertain market conditions. How can lenders help protect borrowers and safeguard their portfolios? Join SRS Acquiom and ABI as this panel of experts shares their views on these events, as well as strategies for meeting the risk of loan defaults head-on. Hear more about market-drivers, strategies for debt-restructuring, and the long-term outlook for financing. This webinar will draw from a recently released SRS Acquiom study, Smarter Navigation: Loan Restructuring 2022, co-produced with Debtwire.

Sponsored by ABI's Real Estate Committee According to Trepp, $109 billion in commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) loans was issued in 2021. These loans are popular among income-producing-property investors for a variety of reasons, including favorable rates, attractive loan-to-value ratios, a streamlined underwriting process and more. However, given their structure as investment vehicles, technical nuances come into play in workout and restructuring situations because of the special servicers and trustees involved. While bankruptcy filings are rare because filing typically violates a loan covenant known as a “Bad Boy provision," for some borrowers this path makes sense. This program will focus on these issues and more to prepare attorneys, financial advisors and other professionals for future restructuring assignments in this unique space.

This session will cover a number of confirmation hot topics, including the allowance of unmatured interest (Hertz), makewhole provisions, private sponsor liability risk (In re ASHINC Corp.) and D&Os (Toys “R” Us litigation).
