Distressed (M&A)

Private equity professionals are adapting new tactics to get ahead in this competitive distressed environment including: new valuation calculations, strategies for due diligence, mitigating emerging risks and tax considerations.

Pizza Hut franchisee’s NPC International Inc., the holding company of Chuck E. Cheese CEC Entertainment Inc. and the U.S. arm of Le Pain Quotidien have sought bankruptcy protection since the pandemic started.

Economic disruption is creating opportunities and the investment landscape is setting up for what could be a significant uptick in distressed M&A activity.
