    Bankruptcy--When is it the Answer? Maximizing the Value of Distressed Debt
    In today’s environment, several options exist for effectuating a restructuring of a company in distress. When is a Chapter 11 filing the best option given the costs, risks and potential for reputational damage, and when is it not? This panel discusses the fundamental questions to be asked when considering the alternatives to bankruptcy, and more specifically, addresses when bankruptcy preserves or creates value.

    Valuation Standards: Market Test vs. Expert Valuations
    This panel will take a look at developments in the legal standards for determining the whole enterprise valuation, and their impact on valuation methodology. What drives the market definition and its underlying policy? And when is the market likely to be wrong (and how do you show when not to trust the market)? How reliable is a “robust auction” and why might the outcome differ from an expert valuation? And when is an expert valuation likely to be suspect? Plus, the status of the "new value doctrine" and related valuation issues will also be discussed.

    Are Blanket Liens Really Blanket? Allocating the Going Concern Surplus
    This panel will address the entitlement of a secured lender with a "blanket lien" on a company’s assets to share in the going concern or enterprise value of that company when it is liquidated in a Section 363 sale or otherwise dealt with under a chapter 11 plan. The circumstances under which such sharing in "going concern" value has been permitted, the cases on both sides of the issue, and the policy arguments in favor and against the secured lenders’ right to access such value to satisfy its secured claim will be explored.

    Deconstructing the Value Proposition Behind the American-US Airways Merger: How Extraordinary Value was Achieved for AMR's Creditors and Equity Holders
    From the outset of AMR's unanticipated chapter 11 filing in November 2011, the Creditors' Committee focused on working closely and collaboratively with the Debtors to craft innovative solutions for the airlines' labor and pension issues and to systematically evaluate AMR's restructuring alternatives, identify a path for emergence that maximized the value of the airline, and craft a confirmable plan of reorganization that would command the strong support of general unsecured creditors and other economic stakeholders.  The reorganization plan that was adopted relied on the consummation of a merger with US Airways, in order to combine American's and US Airways' complementary networks, increase convenience and efficiency and provide more options for customers, as well as facilitate AMR's transformation into a profitable and sustainable global airline.  This roundtable of advisors to the airline parties and the Creditors' Committee will discuss how early labor and pension strategies led to the development of a standalone business plan which then could be compared to a potential merger inside chapter 11 – preserving the synergy values for chapter 11 stakeholders.  The roundtable will also discuss the unique distribution mechanism that was adopted which avoided valuation disputes during the plan confirmation process in favor of a post-emergence "market test." The market test provides each general unsecured creditor and equity holder (subject to certain exceptions) with a distribution based on the trading prices of the common stock of new American from and after the effective date of the merger and reorganization plan.  At press time, AMR and US Airways were expected to close the merger in December 2013 and will be in the midst of the 120 day market valuation period during VALCON 2014.

    Red Flags: When Your Valuation Expert's Report Doesn't Seem Right, What Are Your Options?
    After you've found your valuation expert, how do you know if that expert's report is accurate?  We'll discuss some of the red flags that should cause you to raise some questions with your own expert (or to consider asking the other side's expert in cross-examination), and we'll discuss how organizations might make it easier or harder to catch red flags.
