size='3'>Alexandria, Va. --

York).

A case study will be presented
to dramatize the various perspectives of parties-in-interest as they
examine strategic alternatives and seek the highest value for a troubled

company. The 2009 Complex Financial Restructuring Program will address
the case study of fictional company AmGyp, LLC. and its subsidiaries. In

particular, the severe downturn in the housing industry has
substantially impaired AmGyp’s operating metrics and have resulted

in covenant defaults with its lenders. Registrants will receive the case

study in advance and leaders in the industry will play the role of the
major constituents as they work through whether AmGyp should file for
chapter 11 and what steps should be taken in restructuring the
company.
