Financing in Focus: Structuring for Success
Agenda
3:15 pm | Registration
3:30 – 3:40 pm | Welcome and Introduction
3:40 – 4:10 pm | The Art of the Deal – Leveraged Finance Under the Microscope: What makes a structure truly bankable, and where do deals fall apart?
We kick off with a deep dive into the anatomy of today’s leveraged finance transactions: navigating debt stacks, negotiating covenants, and managing intercreditor dynamics. From unitranche to senior/mezz hybrids, this session demystifies the structures powering sponsor-backed deals in a high-rate, high-stakes environment.
4:10 – 4:40 pm | Inside the Engine Room – How Sponsors Think, How Structures Win: Bridge the knowledge gap between legal mechanics and commercial drivers.
Designed to give financiers a sharper edge, this session examines how private equity and venture capital sponsors approach risk, value creation, and exit strategies — and how those aims are reflected in financing terms. We’ll explore trends in equity cushions, covenant flexibility, and the increasingly blurred lines between debt and equity.
4:40 – 5.10 pm | Stress Test – Restructuring Tactics in a Shifting Market: When the music stops, who’s left standing?
This closing session puts financial structures to the test. We explore real-world restructuring scenarios and how documentation, stakeholder strategy, and restructuring tools (from amend-and-extend to enforcement and liability management exercises) shape outcomes. Expect lessons in creative problem-solving and strategic foresight.
5:10 – 5.30 pm | Q&A
5.30 pm | Networking Over Drinks and Canapés
This event is open to all, but will be particularly beneficial to junior and mid-ranking executives.
