Starting points and interests

Starting points and interests

The company is in a business or organizational crisis.

Creditors
The current creditors are generally willing to support a restructuring solution by providing additional financing or at least by entering into a standstill agreement. They expect a professional restructuring management and a secured repayment of their capital. A fire sale or the devaluation of collateral must be avoided.
Shareholders
The shareholders are unwilling or unable to provide fresh money to the company. They are, however, willing to improve the situation of the company by assigning their shares to a trusted party on the basis of a trust arrangement.
Management
Loss of confidence between shareholders, management and creditors. The trustee ensures transparency regarding the actual business situation of the company in order to enable assessing and optimizing available future options - while ensuring maximum of confidentiality towards external parties.

A double-sided trust structure provides the possibility of constructive cooperation between the company, the shareholders, the creditors and the other stakeholders in order to overcome and solve a crisis situation.

The avoidance of a devaluation of the company and maintaining existing job opportunities are major factors for all parties involved.
