NZVCA course on structuring & restructuring LBO’s

The New Zealand Venture Capital Association will be running an Advanced Workshop in Private Equity Transactions – Structuring & Restructuring LBO’s in Auckland on 5 and 6 March 2009.

The workshop is an intensive, practical programme suitable for experienced practitioners involved in private equity, corporate finance and advisory services, lenders of senior, junior debt and entrepreneurs considering buy outs, and will be led by Michael Dance.

The programme will cover the critical aspects of the transaction cycle from structuring the deal to optimise value through to restructuring deals that have gone wrong; topics covered will include structuring the offer effectively, minimising execution risk and value leakage, creating a robust financial structure, negotiating the key commercial terms of the senior, mezzanine and inter-creditor agreements (from a borrower and lender perspective), addressing the critical issues involving the management team. In light of current market outlook the course will also focus on restructuring, including the restructuring route-map, the restructuring options, the position of directors, management and PE firms and lenders and technical issues such as moving cash around the group and inter-jurisdictional issues.
