Abstract
A turnaround expert must determine whether a firm in distress is worth more as a going concern than its liquidation value. If so, the finances of the firm must be restructured in a way consistent with the bargaining power of the holders of the various securities. The restructuring requires a delay in principal repayment, rate concessions, and a debt-for-equity swap.
