The targets are insolvent enterprises that the court-appointed trustees have made tender offers for.

Sector-by-sector updates let clients swiftly identify build-up prospects.

Tender offer periods often exceed list deadlines.

If you’re interested in any of these assets, please contact our partners Numa Rengot and Arnaud Pédron.

This court-ordered sale allows buying:

  • Fast: in a few weeks
  • Directly or through a NewCo
  • After limited due diligence (i.e., limited to the scope of the acquisition)
  • At lower prices than out-of-court acquisitions: the real cost consists in financing the acquired operation
  • Free and clear of debt, with only a few exceptions (no successor liability – lien and encumbrance free)
  • Without liability for restructuring costs
  • A turnkey, autonomous business unit
  • “Cherry picked” assets (number of employees, tangible and intangible assets, as well as rental, finance lease, distribution, purchase, and service agreements necessary for the continued operation of the business).
