Strong investor demand and the falling cost of borrowing propelled the rebound in market activity, with refinancing and opportunistic repricing transactions driving YTD volumes. Both M&A and LBO transactions bounced back from the historical lows seen in 2023. Renewed liquidity and tightening spreads helped syndicated markets regain their share of the large-cap LBO space from private credit funds, which had stepped in to fill the void during the more volatile periods over the last two years. The availability of cheaper financing attracted a raft of borrowers to refinance private credit debt in the broadly syndicated markets this year, giving a boost to the much-needed supply of new paper. With CLOs on track for record issuance this year and high-yield funds drawing in net inflows amid cooling inflation and expectations of monetary easing, technical conditions have been largely supportive for issuance.

Tupperware Brands, known for its iconic storage containers, has reached a pivotal agreement with its creditors, which could pave the way for a smooth exit from its bankruptcy. Tupperware had filed for Chapter 11 on 17 September, citing operational challenges stemming from its outdated focus on direct sales, which failed to adapt to shifting consumer trends toward online shopping. These issues were exacerbated by mounting financial pressures, including missed loan payments and actions by an ad hoc lender group seeking to exercise remedies under debt agreements. Resolving the ongoing issue wherein creditors were seeking conversion or dismissal of the Chapter 11 case, the agreement sees that Tupperware’s assets and intellectual property will be sold to a secured lending group. Consisting of Stonehill Institutional Partners, Alden Global Capital, and a Bank of America Merrill Lynch trading desk, this group has offered to pay Tupperware $23.5m in cash, forgive $63.8m of debt it holds and assume more than $22m in additional debt and contractual obligations. This outcome, pending court approval, could offer some stability to the firm and creates a clear path forward for ‘The New Tupperware Company’ which under the leadership of its new owners, promises to rebuild Tupperware with a “start-up mentality.” Subscribers can read our Tupperware reporting here: https://lnkd.in/gjfZW4bm Not a subscriber?

Creditors looking to survive liability management exercises relatively unscathed increasingly have two options: join the majority ad-hoc group or hope debtholders organize under an inclusive cooperation agreement. Investors in turn are moving fast to organize at the first whiff of trouble at a borrower or based on the reputation of a financial sponsor, after experiencing too many poor outcomes where they were bypassed altogether or left out of the group that strikes a deal.

One year after the explosive revelation of former US Bankruptcy Judge Jones’ undisclosed romantic relationship with an attorney, Debtwire’s report shows the scandal’s lasting impact on the Texan courts and economy. Formerly handling 26% of major bankruptcy filings, the Southern District of Texas has seen its share of Chapter 11 cases drop to 19% following the scandal. The drop is even greater when considering ‘mega cases’ with USD 1bn in funded debt or more. In the five years leading up to the Jones-Freeman scandal, 47% of such cases were filed in the Southern District of Texas, yet in the last year, that number dropped to 37%. The Debtwire Restructuring database continues to track the fallout, as well as providing an overview of the ongoing investigations by the US Department of Justice and the US Trustee’s office.

Mediation has become a fairly standard feature of Chapter 11 cases over recent years, with some high-profile cases providing notable examples of successful mediations. As the UK in-court restructuring landscape becomes increasingly contentious since the introduction of the new restructuring plan tool some four years ago, lessons can be learned from the US approach: https://lnkd.in/egFAgydV
