The Situation

The client was a $350 million publicly traded Distributor of Airplane Parts based in Florida.

The Company was suffering from a downturn in the commercial airline industry and high leverage from numerous acquisitions. The Company’s lender required the Company to engage a restructuring advisor to assist in the recapitalization of the business. The complexion of the Company’s problems dramatically changed after September 11, 2001.

How We Advised

Our experts assumed the role of restructuring advisor and executed a pre-arranged Chapter 11 proceeding with a 363 sale. The post-petition auction process resulted in a 10% increase in the initial stalking horse bid. This resulted in recovery to the company’s various creditors that exceeded the initial liquidation analysis.
