Capital Meets Turnaround
12 June 2013
Note: This is a TMA WA Members-Only Event

It's no surprise that many successful turnarounds require capital. After a period of sustained losses or under-performance, companies need a new direction and funding to achieve it.

TMA Australia’s turnaround and restructuring practitioners need better access to capital providers for their clients or the companies they lead. At this unique event, TMA Perth Members will be able to connect with multiple capital providers, learn about their specialist capital solutions and find out what types of transactions are attractive to them.

To facilitate contact between the equity providers and TMA practitioners, a ‘speed networking’ session will take place at the beginning of the evening allowing each equity provider a relaxed and comprehensive forum in which to speak directly with each of the participating TMA Members.

The speed networking session with a number of turnaround capital providers, will be followed by a 3-course dinner (+ beverages) where there will be a range of speakers from equity providers to other professionals involved in the process discussing various angles, players, process, tricks and traps etc. and their views on the future of equity as a rescue tool for distressed companies.

Evening Format

5.15pm – 6.15pm Speed networking, where the key players in Australian and International markets that service Perth’s capital markets meet the TMA’s Turnaround Practitioners

6.15pm – 7.00pm Pre-dinner drinks

7.00pm – 9.00pm Dinner service & speaker sessions including:
* Secondary Debt Market - Size and characteristics that increase the chance of a transaction, players and a discussion on where’s the market heading.
* Critical Success Factors for Capital Market Solutions in a Turnaround Environment - Panel discussion focusing on commentary by leading specialists in turnaround, equity and debt. 'War stories’ from the equity providers discussing their last 3 investments in Australia. A unique opportunity for the audience to hear:
- How much equity was involved & in what form?
- The range of their investment appetite;
- What sector were their investments in – why was this attractive?
- What return do they forecast for each investment – what is the target?
- The exit strategy
- Any unplanned events during the deal
- The approval process
- The ‘sweet spot’ for the deals they're are looking for
