Special Situations

At HighBank, we recognize that the only thing “special” about being labeled a distressed or troubled company is the level of advice and consultation needed to emerge from the rigors of the restructuring process. We assist our clients both in and out of bankruptcy by assessing and providing recommended solutions to the unique challenges being faced. We strongly believe that it is not “worth putting off until tomorrow” what can be effectively implemented today. Therefore, our analysis and recommendations are not just the same old, tired, short term thinking that is often presented by other advisors. Our restructuring approach is different and incorporates four key elements:

• • Current liquidity/financial position
  • Current and near-term business operating environment and its impact on financial condition
  • Anticipated future strategic position, based on industry, competitor, secular and structural trends
  • Restructuring and/or transactional options available
• • Looking for capital?

At HighBank, we recognize that even without a thorough assessment of each of the above four elements, a restructuring plan may get approval and support, but its chances of succeeding are minimal. Our approach is not only more insightful, but is intellectually honest in its foundations and assumptions. Finally, we understand that various stakeholders often have conflicting goals and objectives in a restructuring. Our approach and aim is to create solutions that address head on (as opposed to postponing) the resolution of this conflict.

At HighBank, we provide a broad range of restructuring services, including:

• Chapter 11 restructurings;
• Out-of-court work-outs;
• Equity or distressed debt recapitalizations
• Debtor-in-Possession financings;
• Strategic alternatives analysis;
• Liquidity/cash management planning;
• Alternative financings

There is nothing special about being in distress or troubled — except the advice you need.

We believe it's time for higher standards and results. Don't you?
