Compliance with securities laws is a crucial element of any restructuring. This webcast addresses a range of potential securities laws issues arising in a variety of restructuring and bankruptcy scenarios (whether out of court or in a free-fall, pre-negotiated or pre-packaged case under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code), including the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 (and potential exemptions therefrom); the potential application of the tender offer regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; the role of Regulation FD for public company debtors and other concerns about material non-public information that may be obtained in creditor diligence of debtor-provided information and negotiations with the debtor; issues arising under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939; and more.
