The Resolution Incorporated Approach
Our approach to corporate orphans is clear and pragmatic:
Rapid assessment: we quickly evaluate the situation, understanding the urgency
Take control: we use simple, standardise deal structures with minimal warranties
Stabilise the business: we restructure to create breathing room
Unlock long term value: we implement a recovery or growth plan
Exit responsibly: if needed, we manage a controlled wind-down
Our deal structures are designed to establish:
1 - Clear ownership - as ensuring our full responsibility is critical to:
Ensuring we have effective control to take the necessary actions; and
Managing vendor reputational risk
2 - Clear funding - since it is important to ensure there are no failures immediately following a transfer of control, we always need to ensure adequate funding is in place as part of transaction to enable take on / transformation / restructuring as required; and a
3 - Clear Offer - so current owners know what we bring to transactions:
An experienced team and known service providers
An established operational play book
A built in buy back option so if a disposal is due to stress / distress, the vendor has an option to reacquire once fixed; and
A built in anti-embarrassment provisions so the vendor has a share of any upside in the event of a successful early exit
