The German market is currently characterized by a high level of corporate insolvencies and sustained restructuring pressure. For strategic investors from Central and Eastern Europe (CEE), this can present attractive opportunities for market entry or expansion in Germany.
Dr. Tim Bauer and Henryk Ciesielski from enomyc will explain, from a buy-side perspective, what strategic investors need to consider when acquiring financially or operationally distressed companies—both within and outside of formal insolvency proceedings. Using practical “dos” and “don’ts,” they will demonstrate how buyers can evaluate opportunities, prepare transactions in a structured manner, and mitigate typical risks.
As a guest speaker, Marek Buczak, Director and Fund Manager for Non-Public Assets at PFR TFI, will add the perspective of a Polish institutional co-investor. Drawing on his practical experience supporting the international expansion of Polish companies, he will share his perspective on the strategic, financial and execution challenges that arise in cross-border acquisitions.
Here ist what you can expect:
The opportunities and risks of acquiring financially or operationally distressed companies in Germany – both within and outside formal insolvency proceeding
How investors should prepare before entering an accelerated sale process
Which assets can be selectively acquired in an asset deal and where key risks may arise
How to balance the necessary speed with focused due diligence
The dos and don’ts of dealing with insolvency administrators, creditors’ committees, employee representatives, and other stakeholders
Why local advisors and expertise should be involved early in the buy-side process
How to prepare for operational stabilization and post-merger integration before closing
Who should attend this webinar?
The webinar is primarily aimed at strategic investors, executives, business owners, and decision-makers in corporate M&A, strategy and corporate development across Central and Eastern Europe (CEE)—particularly in Poland—who are considering acquisitions or expansion in Germany and for whom distressed M&A is not part of their day-to-day business.
We look forward to welcoming you to our webinar!
