2016 New York City Bankruptcy Conference

Valuation panels have generally focused on how to value debtors and their stock. But what about valuing debt, the other form of consideration that is generally issued under a bankruptcy plan? The session will discuss coverage ratios and other credit metrics, comparability, the impact of covenants and other terms, credit reporting and rating, and more.

What are the strategies of private-equity sponsors seeking to retain control (or at least a stake) through the bankruptcy process? How do they retain counsel and manage conflicts? What strategies are they using to preserve their interests? What risks do they undertake? This panel will discuss these issues and more.

This panel will present a review of the current state of the law as to when a foreign entity can file a main proceeding vs. an ancillary proceeding in bankruptcy court, what interest is sufficient for a main or ancillary proceeding, cross-border insolvency protocols, challenges faced by foreign representatives (Octaviar, Rede Energia; Baha Mar, Fairfield), COMI (OAS S.A., Suntech), conflicts of law in fraudulent transfer litigation, recognition of foreign judgments in U.S. proceedings, and dealing with foreign boards or administrators of parents or subsidiaries.
