This panel will explore why valuation is the central battleground in court-supervised restructurings across US Chapter 11, UK Part 26A and Dutch WHOA regimes. We will compare jurisdictional approaches to where value breaks, the evidence courts prefer, and how reorganization value is allocated and subject to cramdown mechanics.
Key discussions will cover valuation methodologies like DCF and comparables, their credibility and how they interact with market-tested evidence. A comparative case study will illustrate value allocation between senior and junior creditors.
The session will conclude with practical strategies to litigation-proof valuation records, focusing on market tests and fair sharing of reorganization benefits.
