As Circuit City entered Chapter 11 in November 2008, the company faced collapsing sales, suppliers demanding more stringent repayment terms and banks tightening credit supply and demanding a stranglehold over operations. It also faced an amended Bankruptcy Code that siphons away available cash to pay recent trade debts, demands quick decisions about continuing or terminating real estate leases and shortens the time during which the firm has an exclusive right to propose a reorganization plan. Together, these forces upended the company’s plans for reorganization. Instead of jockeying to control the reorganization process, bank lenders used the DIP loan to dictate a liquidation and direct Circuit City to use particular liquidators, who would later become bidders at its own auctions.

This session will explore the legal, financial and operational issues that preceded Circuit City’s

hemorrhage in Chapter 11. During the first half of the session, Professor Morrison will lay out the issues. During the second half, a panel of experts, each with a direct connection to the case, will engage the audience. Attendees will be able to:

• Determine whether Circuit City’s liquidation was the product of a rare but perfect storm—a depressed economy, stressed bank lenders and a hostile Bankruptcy Code

• Identify if the company’s experience points to patterns that we will continue to see—and that will continue to imperil retailers—in the coming year(s)

• Discuss what this implies for companies, boards of directors, investors, creditors and service professionals going forward

The past several years have brought about enormous upheaval in the credit markets, and it is difficult, if not impossible, to predict what deals can get done today. These panelists represent a wide spectrum of capital providers, from senior secured to equity, from asset based to cash flow lending. The credit markets are evolving rapidly, and you might be surprised by what you hear from those making the decisions. Attendees will be able to:

• Determine if we have forgotten the sins of the past and are heading towards aggressive underwriting, or will capital providers tread lightly?

• Identify what happens when rates begin to rise? Or GDP forecasts fall short?

• Analyze whether the inevitable bust in commercial real estate will affect the corporate lending market?

• Discuss the possibility of CLO’s re-emerging as a viable vehicle?

The truth is that no one has a crystal ball, but these panelists live at the source and can offer relevant insights and a lively discussion.

Thursday, January 28, 1:45 p.m. – 2:45 p.m.“Distressed Investing in 2010: Where Will the Opportunities Be?”

Moderator: Mark Shapiro, Barclays CapitalPanel: David Matlin, MatlinPatterson Global Advisers LLC; Bennett Rosenthal, Ares Management

This panel of accomplished investors will discuss their views of the market and how they approach distressed investing. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to gain insight from some of the industry’s leading professionals. From this session, attendees will be able to:

• Discover what the top professionals think the outlook will be for distressed investors in 2010

• Determine how to think about real estate, financial institutions and other sectors that will be distressed in 2010

• Analyze what some of the trends were in 2009 for distressed investors and determine if they will apply in 2010

Keynote Session

Thursday, January 28, 3:15 p.m. – 4:15 p.m.

“Where are the Banks Going?”

Moderator: Joseph S. Berry, Keefe, Bruyette & WoodsPanel: John E. Freechack, Barack Ferrazzano; Tom Gordy, CM&D Capital; Tim Kruse, FDIC; Geoffrey A. Koss, The Private Bank

More than a year after the government recapitalized the banking industry through TARP, bank balance sheets are still clogged with distressed commercial borrowers. Over 125 banks have been placed into receivership by the FDIC. Many experts are predict-ing continued headwinds. A multidisciplinary panel will address the current bank environment, including capital, operating issues and regulatory environment for the banking industry. Attendees will be able to:

• Learn about issues banks are facing regarding distressed loans, capital adequacy, and options available to address these issues

• Analyze current FDIC Loss Share Structures— is traditional M&A dead?

• Evaluate lending in the current environment— is there a new standard?

“Fix It or Dump It: That is the Question”

Moderator: William K. Snyder, CTP, CRG Partners Group LLCPanel: Carrianne Basler, AlixPartners;Thomas R. Califano, DLA Piper LLP (US); William R. Quinn, Versa Capital Management Inc.

When is it worth the risk of attempting to fix a com-pany rather than selling it immediately? This session will provide an analysis of key factors that should be weighed in deciding to fix a company. The session will also address the steps involved in moving forward in the turnaround process. Attendees will learn how to: • Decide whether companies should take the risk

to restructure operations rather than go straight to a 363 sale

• Analyze results derived from turnarounds versus quick sales

• Determine if restructurings are indeed dead and the quick 363 sale is the preferred way to go

Moderator: Ronald F. Greenspan, FTI Consulting, Inc. Panel: Frank A. Merola, Jefferies & Company Inc.; Charles M. Moore, CTP, Conway MacKenzie Inc.; Kevin Otus, Emerald Technology Valuations LLC; Kathleen Steele, Equity Group Investments, LLC

The nascent economic recovery will not treat everyone equally. A panel of experts will explore this idea further by highlighting the evolving prospects for the following industries: technology, retail, commodities, durable goods, travel and hospitality and media and entertainment. Attendees will learn how to:

• Identify which industries are expected to see a quick boost

• Determine which industries will see their prospects warm only after sustained economic improvement

• Recognize which industries may actually see their margins shrink and competitive pressures erode their bottom line and cash flow

Friday, January 29, 9:00 a.m. – 10:30 a.m.

Moderator: Howard Brod Brownstein, CTP, The Brownstein CorporationPanel: Leon V. Komkov, Longroad Asset Management LLC; Lewis J. Schoenwetter, Bayside Capital; James B. Shein, Northwestern University Kellogg School of Management; John P. Tatum, Prophet Equity

Hear from this panel of experts as they share their experiences of rim shots, air balls, and victories that almost were. Attendees will be able to: • Learn from real-world lessons pulled from

the “deal morgue”• Determine what makes deals go awry

Friday, January 29, 11:00 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.

Moderator: Matthew Bordwin, KPMG Corporate Finance LLC Panel: Neil Aaronson, Hilco Real Estate LLC; Marc Blum, Next Realty, L.L.C.; Teddy Kaplan, Angelo, Gordon & Co.; Matthew B. Schwab, Karlin Real Estate

The turmoil in the real estate markets over the last 18 months has changed the underlying fundamentals of the way investors, lenders, landlords and lessees approach a real estate transaction. With unprecedented retail closings, lack of financing available for transactions and staggering amounts of real estate debt coming due, 2010 and beyond will be an extremely interesting time for those in the real estate world. The impact of how the market shakes out will have a far reaching effect on not only the real estate market but the overall economic climate. Attendees will hear from and participate in an open discussion on how to:

• Forecast expectations as to how the market will evolve over the next year

• Understand strategies retailers and other tenants can undertake to help survive

• Invest strategically in real estate• Gauge what lenders are looking for to invest in real

estate transactions

rum Turnaround Capital Forum

Wednesday, January 27, 5:00 p.m. – 6:30 p.m.

TMA’s first Turnaround Capital Forum will bring capital providers interested in showcasing their firms together with investment bankers, turnaround consultants and crisis managers, bankruptcy attorneys and accountants, workout officers and others seeking debt and equity investments for their significant large or small transactions. The event is included in your Distressed Investing Conference registration, and you must be registered for the conference to participate.

Once you have registered, you will be able to access the online listing of participating capital provider firms. Be sure to check the list frequently as new firms confirm their participation. Simply choose from among the capital provider firms and email the contact person

from your selected firm(s) to request an opportunity during the Forum to meet with them. You will receive a reply directly from the capital provider firm(s); contacts are only between you and the capital provider. TMA does not contact the firms for you nor set up the appointments, but rather facilitates a process through which both parties can communicate directly with each other to arrange these informal exchanges during the Forum. The result—a relaxed, less structured venue to facilitate deal flow.

If you're interested in participating in the forum as a capital provider, please contact Joe Karel at jkarel@turnaround.org or at 312-242-6039.
