Debtor Advisory

Expertise to Maintain, Recover and Increase Value

The core of our activities is advising companies in financial and operational distress. AEG works with senior management, a company’s Board of Directors, and equity holders to define and implement specific strategic and tactical plans to maintain, recover, and increase value. AEG typically represents the debtor company, often at the recommendation of its lenders or the private equity sponsor.

AEG is well prepared to provide the needed expertise under these challenging circumstances:

• Our team brings a wealth of hands-on experience to these situations, including not only financial but also operational backgrounds.
• We understand how to get behind the numbers to develop credible information and to drive positive outcomes.

Stabilize a Financial Position

Our debtor advisory work entails a range of activities targeted at stabilizing and improving a company’s financial position. AEG’s efforts generally include some or all of the following:

• Developing or validating forecasts and business plans and related assessments of a business’ strategic position;
• Re-establishing credibility with lenders, investors, vendors, employees and other key constituents;
• Monitoring and managing cash and cash flow and supplier relationships;
• Assessing and recommending cost reduction strategies;
• Designing and negotiating financial restructuring packages, in or out of bankruptcy proceedings;
• Advice and recommendations concerning risks and benefits of alternative courses of action.
