11:00 AM – 12:00 PM In Focus: The Net-Short Debt Strategy Paradigm
Disputes between debtors and creditors are common if not ubiquitous in bankruptcy. Certain investors are no longer motivated by the expectation that the debtor will pay its obligation in full at maturity, however. Instead, these investors acquire a “long” position in a debt instrument such as a bond, which on default will produce a profit on a larger “short” position in the company’s debt, equity or derivatives. Examples include the cases of Windstream Holdings, Codere SA, iHeartCommunications Inc. and Hovnanian Enterprises Inc. The panel will delve into the particulars of the net-short debt strategies and their risks and market effects.
Panel: Boris Steffen, CDBV, GlassRatner (Moderator) Marc Brown, AlixPartners, LLP Emil A. Kleinhaus, The Brattle Group Marti P. Murray, The Brattle Group David C. Smith, University of Virginia
