Financial Restructurings

Financial Restructuring If your company is experiencing liquidity issues, it pays to work with a financial advisory firm with the experience and

common sense to carefully consider all options. The principals of Craft have decades of experience, advising our

clients through the ups and downs of multiple economic cycles. Craft has advised numerous companies with the goal

of establishing a more stable capital structure for stakeholders. Our experience includes refinancing existing bank

debt, divesting underperforming assets, out-of-court creditor negotiations, and in-court Chapter 11 plans of

reorganizations and in-court Section 363 asset sales.

Financial Restructuring

Closet World

"My client required a sophisticated financial advisor with competency in both financial

restructuring and raising capital as well as the flexibility to adapt to a very fluid situation. Craft

managed the process very effectively in conjunction with the company’s management,

communicating with adverse stakeholders in an effective manner yet insuring the integrity of

the process while maximizing value. After a successful acquisition of the senior debt involving

the majority shareholder, Craft was instrumental in creating a win-win transaction for the new

lender, owner operator, and company management. I would recommend Craft for any client in

need of goal oriented complex financial advisory services." Chris Reeder,

bankruptcy case. Craft did an absolutely great job

identifying prospective buyers, negotiating the $17.4

million sale price with Sunbelt Rentals, and assisting

in the consummation of that sale. I would strongly

recommend Craft for any investment banking

engagement." Ron Bender,
