This session will discuss the introduction to framework of five types of transactions and take a deeper dive on how recaps (minority or majority recapitalization) can be a great alternative to 100% sale. Our speakers will also discuss the steps in process that are the same for any of the types and the pros and cons of recapitalizations. A few examples with calculations, steps and key ‘decision points’ and stories (with ‘dummy’ numbers to maintain confidentiality) will also be shared.
