Corporate Restructuring
Objectives
This course covers the most typical corporate restructuring transactions from a financial perspective. These include
mergers and acquisitions, spin offs, carve outs, going public, going private and bankruptcy reorganisations. The course will
focus on the financial and strategic fundamentals of these transactions with a special focus on the former. This implies a
thorough analysis of value creation, destruction and sharing, as well as the agency issues involved and mechanisms to
align incentives between the parties involved. It will also analyse the characteristics of the actual financial instruments used
in some of these transactions. The course will be mostly based on case studies, students being expected to play a major role
in their discussions and presentations.
