ABI RELEASES
UPDATED BANKRUPTCY BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS MANUAL
size='3'>September 8, 2006, Alexandria, Va.
size='3'>— The American Bankruptcy Institute has released the
Second Edition of
size='3'>Bankruptcy Business Acquisitions, to
serve as the essential reference for anyone involved in buying or
selling financially distressed companies. Richard Tilton, the editor
of both editions, brought together 53 national experts to cover the full
spectrum of relevant topics from the Bankruptcy Code and court system to
the specifics of pre-packaged plans, bidding incentives, selling assets
in regulated industries, tax issues, pension and ERISA issues, issuance
of securities, intellectual property transfers and
more.
The Second Edition is
expanded by more than 400 pages from the first edition, which was
published in 1998, and includes 30 practice-tested
forms on CD-rom. A portion of the manual explains
the motives and strategies of different parties, including the debtor,
creditors, official committees, secured creditors, distressed-debt
investors and claims traders. Separate chapters cover procedural and
substantive legal issues involved in acquiring a company in financial
distress, as well as discussions on pertinent cases and various
strategies used in acquisitions.
Richard Tilton, former co-chair
of ABI’s Asset Sales Committee, has more than 30 years experience
in corporate reorganizations and distressed mergers and acquisitions. An
ABI member since 1989, Tilton is the owner of Richard Tilton P.C. based
in Wall, N.J.
The previous edition
of Bankruptcy Business
Acquisitions received notable praise,
including the Commercial
Law Bulletin’s review stating that the
volume was 'a practical and indispensable tool for both lawyers and
nonlawyers who may find themselves directly or indirectly involved in a
bankruptcy sale as a buyer, a seller, a creditor, an investor or some
other role.'
The 1,542-page manual is
available for purchase at ABI’s Online Bookstore. Click here to
