Description:
Assessment of value may present some of the more complex business and financial issues for lenders based on the nature of the assets being valued and circumstances of the valuation. The learning objective of this panel discussion is to assist attendees with developing a more thorough understanding of the valuation issues facing lenders as viewed by a lender, an attorney, a financial advisor, and a valuation expert. This panel will explore critical valuation considerations for lenders in distressed and restructuring situations, including the differences between appraisal and liquidation values across inventory, machinery & equipment, real estate and intellectual property. The discussion will address the role of inventory valuation in Chapter 11 plans of reorganization, strategies for preserving and maximizing collateral value, and other key valuation issues that can impact lender decisions and recoveries.
