DISTRESSED M&A

CVM specialises in the purchase and sale of companies in special situations, including insolvency. These situations differ from the sale / purchase of a stable company. They require not only quick and effective action, but also specific know-how to ensure a targeted, timely and efficient sale or acquisition.

We support shareholders, business owners or insolvency administrators in the sale of an entire company or parts of companies facing a crisis or from insolvency while ensuring a structured M&A process. Depending on the specific situation, we can also rely on the expertise of our parent-company ,TMC Turnaround Management Consult, which specialises in advisory services for companies in special situations (i.e., brief diagnoses, restructuring concepts, insolvency plan proceedings). In insolvency proceedings, we structure the transaction in consultation with the company and the insolvency administration as a transferring restructuring, e.g. in the form of an asset deal.

An alternative option is insolvency in self-administration and sale within the scope of an insolvency plan solution. In this case, a transferring restructuring or the insolvency plan procedure can be combined to form a so-called dual-track procedure in order to take into account all creditor interests.
