This CLE course will provide counsel with strategies for restructuring a distressed loan, focusing on equity cure rights and loan amendment and modification techniques. The program will discuss strategies from the perspectives of both lenders and borrowers to execute a successful and efficient workout-out strategy.

Description

Equity cure rights give the borrower, or the borrower’s financial sponsor, the right to contribute equity upon a default of an EBITDA-based financial covenant to increase its calculated earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization.

Lenders will seek to negotiate certain restrictions on the equity cure right, namely limits on the source of capital, use of the proceeds, amount, frequency/timing and impact of prepayment.

Post-default, both the lender and the borrower must execute a work-out strategy that includes either a forbearance agreement or a loan restructuring agreement.

Listen as our authoritative panel of finance attorneys guides you through strategies for restructuring a distressed loan, focusing on equity cure rights and loan modification and restructuring techniques. The panel will provide insights for both lenders and borrowers to execute a successful and efficient workout-out strategy.
