Webinar Replay — A fair deal? Petrofac and the next chapter in UK restructurings
- 9fin team
Petrofac's hopes of turning around its fortunes were dealt a significant blow when the Court of Appeal upheld an appeal against the beleaguered contractor's restructuring plans. But the implications extended far beyond one company's fate.
9fin's latest webinar unpacked this landmark decision that refined the boundaries of cross-class cram down and set new standards for fairness, evidence, and creditor treatment in UK restructuring plans.
Our 9fin host Danish Mehboob was joined by Dorian Lowell, head of restructuring at Gleacher Shacklock, Luke Viner, senior legal consultant at 9fin, and Denitsa Stoyanova, senior distressed credit analyst at 9fin, to examine the implications of the judgment for market participants.
Topics included:
- What Petrofac told us about the purpose and limits of the cross-class cram down
- Why courts were raising the bar on fairness and evidence, especially for new money deals
- The role of market testing in justifying terms for rescue finance
- How companies had to now approach the allocation of restructuring surplus
- Practical takeaways for plan proponents, investors, and advisers
