Methodology
Using practical examples from real life public cases, participants will use the skills developed in the Risk Analysis in Corporate Finance Program – particularly cash flow and debt capacity – to design and engineer a series of transfer of ownership and recapitalization scenarios.
The program will also use such cases to develop the underwriting skills required to support an investment and international bank’s role in underwriting loans required to support mergers and acquisitions, leveraged and management buyouts, and dividend recapitalization structures.
