As the global economy has started to recover, factors such as low interest rates and a robust high-yield market have had a profound effect on restructurings. The availability of capital has allowed companies to stave off the “wall of debt” that was expected to begin reaching maturity in the last year. As a result, out-of-court workouts and refinancings have prevailed. Panelists representing different segments of the restructuring industry – including debtors, secured and unsecured lenders, investors, and investment banks – will comment on trends that have emerged from the current economic environment.At the conclusion of this session, participants will be able to: •Discusscurrentrestructuringtrendsfromvaryingvantagepoints •Gainperspectiveonhowthesetrendsareimpactingturnaroundsandrestructurings

The Affordable Care Act, the most sweeping healthcare reform legislation since the 1930s, will have a broad and lasting impact on the healthcare industry generally and in investment/lending practices in particular. This new regulatory framework imposes important (and broad reaching) changes to how providers will operate and profit while managing the approaching “wall of debt.” Certainly there will be losers, either as a result of a company’s specific action or inaction, or as a result of the unintended consequences of implementing the Act’s requirements.At the conclusion of this session, participants will be able to: •UnderstandtheprovisionsoftheAffordableCareActthatarealreadyunderway

This panel of distinguished bankruptcy court judges will discuss recent developments in the law and comment on emerging issues in federal bankruptcy court practice. Attendees will glean valuable insight and perspective on many of the most carefully followed issues in bankruptcy jurisprudence.

The FDIC has and continues to take control of failed financial institutions and their loan portfolios. Debtors, creditors, distressed investors and bankruptcy professionals have noted, with increasing frustration, the inability to reach decision-makers and gather information regarding loans. The panel will discuss how to navigate the FDIC structure (including negotiating with the FDIC), as well as address the structure of contemporary agreements with administrative agents. The panel also will analyze the impact of the authority granted to the FDIC by Dodd-Frank over “too big to fail” institutions and the need for Living Wills (even for smaller banks as a contingency plan), as well as discussions around U.S. versus European Living Wills.At the conclusion of this session, participants will be able to: •Understandtheprojectedlandscapeforfinancialinstitutionfailures •BetterunderstandtheeffectofDodd-Frankregulationonthenumberofforecastedfailures •Discussanoverviewofthelandscapefor“whoaretheinvestorsinfailinstitutions,both

Moderator: Professor James B. Shein (Kellogg School of Management, Northwestern University)

These sessions include topics covered at some of the best MBA programs in America and taught by the same professors who teach at those schools. Restructuring profes-sionals live in a world where they use MBA skills continuously throughout their day. This is your chance to hone those skills. Never received your MBA, but wanted to? Have your MBA, and would like a refresher? Then these sessions are a must for you. While these sessions will not allow participants to walk away with an MBA, it will give you insights into critical areas of your business career.

At the conclusion of this session, participants will be able to: •Betterunderstandandapplycurrentnegotiatingpracticesandtechniques •Understandtheimpactofoperatingdecisionsoncultureandfinancial performance •Applyfundamentalanalysisinthedevelopmentofcashflowforecasts

Curriculum and Faculty Management – Negotiating Strategies and TechniquesProfessor Victoria Medvec (Kellogg School of Management, Northwestern University) Negotiation is the art and science of securing agreements between two or more parties who are interdependent and who are seeking to maximize their outcomes. The purpose of this session is to understand the theory and processes of negotiation so that you can negotiate successfully in a variety of settings. Management – Corporate Governance and Ethics Professor Steven Kaplan (University of Chicago Booth School of Business)

Law and ethics, when integrated properly into managerial decision making, provide strategic tools to facilitate growth, creativity, competitive advantage and legal certainty. This session explores how businesses can comply with the law and use an ethical culture as a positive strategy for making successful business decisions and reduce legal risk and liability.

Finance – Valuations when Cash Flow Forecasts are Biased Professor Richard S. Ruback (Willard Prescott Smith Professor of Corporate Finance, Harvard Business School)

The valuation of forecasted cash flows can be an inaccurate process, especially when the forecasts are created by optimists who neglect to consider worst-case scenarios. This session discusses methods of evaluating forecasted cash flows and developing projections that are created through a more fundamental analysis.
