ACHIEVING STABILITY

                    Strategic Debt Restructuring and Equity-Based Turnarounds

​

         Elliott Wright & Anderson advises founders, CEOs, CFOs, and boards on debt restructuring and equity-based turnaround strategies—restoring balance sheets through thoughtful, investor-grade equity solutions.

​

         Restructure Debt-Free with EW&A. We specialize in designing tailored debt-to-equity solutions that enhance cash flow, fortify balance sheets, and drive sustainable growth. Our strategies are crafted to support long-term financial stability while aligning with the interests of all stakeholders, empowering companies to navigate challenges and unlock their full potential

 

         When legacy debt constrains growth or threatens solvency, traditional refinancing is often no longer viable. We design and structure debt-to-equity solutions that stabilize cash flows, protect operations, and preserve long‑term enterprise value.

 

          Discreet, Executive-Level Advisory Engagements are conducted in strict confidence. Speak privately with a senior associate to explore whether a strategic debt-to-equity solution is viable for your company.

​

​

 WHO WE SERVE​

​

         We work with organizations of approximately 20 to 500 employees that remain viable as going concerns, but are over‑burdened with debt.

​

These are typically companies that:

• Have strong revenue and a credible growth trajectory

• Face an unsustainable balance sheet or impending covenant / maturity pressure

• Wish to avoid a Chapter proceeding if a value-preserving alternative exists

 

       Our objective is to help these businesses secure a sustainable capital structure without entering formal bankruptcy—while preserving the interests of all stakeholders, not just the largest or most vocal ones.

​

​

 WHAT WE DO​

​

Debt Restructuring and Equity-Based Turnarounds

​

We focus on balance sheet repair via strategic equity solutions, including:

• Debt-to-equity exchanges and structured conversions

• Standstill and forbearance frameworks to create a “time-out” for negotiations

• Stakeholder-aligned recapitalizations and capital stack simplification

• Minority creditor recovery strategies in distressed and near-insolvent situations

The outcome: a capital structure that supports operations and growth, rather than constraining them.

​

 OUR APPROACH

​

​​

• Independent, Boutique Advisory
  We are a focused boutique, working only with clients where we can add meaningful value and both parties see a clear fit.

• Stakeholder-Aware, Not Stakeholder-Captured
  We work to preserve value across the stakeholder spectrum—founders, management, lenders, minority creditors, and equity holders—rather than optimizing solely for one class at the expense of long‑term viability.

• Confidential and Controlled Process
  We emphasize discretion and disciplined process. EW&A practices the highest standards of corporate privacy, including offering a notarized NDA to potential clients before sharing sensitive information.

• Global Experience, Practical Execution
  With over 45 combined years of experience in corporate finance and restructuring across six countries, we bring both technical expertise and practical execution know‑how to each engagement.

 

 FREQUENTLY ASKED (EXECUTIVE SUMMARY)

​

What is a Standstill Agreement?
A standstill agreement functions as a structured “time-out” among parties engaged in a debt dispute or other adversarial corporate matter. During the standstill period, parties suspend certain actions (such as enforcement, litigation, or acceleration) to evaluate and negotiate a constructive outcome.
As creditor advocates—particularly for minority stakeholders—EW&A helps design and negotiate standstill and debt-to-equity frameworks that enable recovery and preserve going-concern value.

How is EW&A a Creditor Advocate?
We often represent or support minority creditors and other underrepresented stakeholders in distressed situations, helping them achieve a fair outcome through negotiated restructuring and equity-based solutions, rather than being wiped out in a rushed or creditor-dominated process.

Why are minority creditors sometimes afforded recovery in apparent insolvency?
Even in distressed or seemingly insolvent situations, negotiated solutions can create value relative to a formal liquidation or disorderly sale. By aligning interests through debt-to-equity conversions and structured settlements, minority creditors can often retain an economic stake in the reorganized business.

How long does the process take?
Timeframes vary by complexity, number of stakeholders, and urgency. Some out-of-court resolutions may be achieved in a few months; more complex, multi-party negotiations often require longer. Early engagement typically increases the range of viable options.
