Objectives of financial restructuring

  • Provide resolution of the company’s debts and immediate liquidity problems by effective short-term corrective actions.

  • Strengthen the company’s viability by anchoring debt to sustainable cashflow available for debt servicing.

  • Rehabilitation of the company enabling it to become more competitive by implementing effective middle and longer-term strategies.

  • Restoration of creditor confidence.

  • Enhance recovery for all stakeholders – giving them a better recovery than what they are facing now.
