Organization – wide instability is not a new phenomenon, but it has become more challenging in today’s environment. Organizations are facing an unprecedented array of urgent event-driven issues against a backdrop of increasing uncertainty, ranging from the COVID-19 pandemic, geopolitical uncertainty, cross-border trade restrictions, technology and supply chain disruption, to customer channel changes, liquidity issues, legislative changes, and shareholder activism. In order to create, preserve, and recover value, organizations must be resilient and agile. Corporate restructuring is an action taken by a corporate entity to significantly change its capital structure or operations.
What is corporate restructuring?
Corporate restructuring is the process by which an entity changes its legal structure to ensure the smooth operation of the business. This process is usually carried out when the company faces economic or financial problems. The management of the relevant corporate entities facing financial crises hires financial and legal experts to provide advice and assistance in negotiations and transactions. Usually the relevant entities may consider providing debt financing to interested investors, reducing the scale of the business, or any part of the business.
In addition, due to changes in the company’s ownership structure, a company reorganization is required. The changes in the shareholding structure of the above-mentioned companies may be due to unfavorable changes in businesses such as acquisitions, mergers, unfavorable economic conditions, acquisitions, bankruptcies, lack of integration between departments, and over-employment of personnel.
What are types of corporate restructuring?
In general, there are two different forms of corporate reorganization, the reason for the reorganization will determine the type of reorganization and the corporate reorganization strategy.
- Financial Restructuring : Due to unfavorable economic conditions leading to a sharp decline in total sales, this type of restructuring may occur.
