Originally aired October 4, 2011. The objective of a workout is to preserve value for all concerned parties. In the course of renegotiating a credit relationship under distressed circumstances, certain assets of a business may have to be sold. Developing a sound disposition strategy and choosing the best disposition method(s) based on the nature of the assets to be monetized are crucial to maximizing the value recovered. Fortunately, there are multiple methodologies available today to conduct asset sales, whether under a forced or orderly liquidation scenario. The presentation will review these methodologies and the circumstances under which each is best suited to deliver optimal results. It will also delve into the process for developing a sound disposition strategy.
