Distressed Mergers & Acquisitions

AEG Partners has extensive experience providing M&A advisory services to help with the strategic sale or purchase of a distressed company.

Strategic Sale Support

When a lender, private equity firm, or owner decides to sell a distressed company, cash is tight and time is critical. You need to know what your strategic sale options are for realizing maximum value. As your strategic sale advisor, AEG provides seasoned leadership through this complex process – from initial start-up through to a final sale. AEG can lead this process or work hand-in-hand with an investment bank. We will:

• Assess and quickly recommend the optimal sale option, such as a sale in or out of Chapter 11
• Position the company to be attractive to prospective strategic or financial buyers either as a whole or in parts
• Design the bid procedures to maximize value
• Ensure prospective buyers get the relevant information to assess the investment opportunity
• Negotiate the best offer
• Close the sale in a timely manner

Acquiring Distressed Assets

AEG often assists buyers unfamiliar with Chapter 11, Section 363 or distressed purchases when acquiring a target company. We have the experience to:

• Provide M&A advice to represent your interests throughout the purchase process – in or out of bankruptcy
• Assess the realistic value of a distressed asset
• Identify pitfalls, risks and integration issues
• Recommend the most effective strategy for acquiring a troubled company
