Corporate Restructuring
Beyond temporary liquidity crises, we protect management rights and ensure the continued value of the company.
If business operations are encountering limits due to excessive debt, financial costs, and creditors' attachments and debt collection efforts, even if business operations are proceeding normally, corporate rehabilitation can be a solution. Immediately upon filing for rehabilitation, a court's comprehensive stay order blocks all creditors' compulsory enforcement, allowing the CEO to retain management control, continue normal operations, and renegotiate debts.
MAST directly addresses the three greatest fears of a CEO: loss of management control, personal liability arising from joint and several guarantees, and criminal punishment risks. Unless there is serious embezzlement or breach of trust, the existing CEO can be appointed as administrator, retaining management control (DIP). Unpaid wages and severance pay for employees are swiftly resolved through the national wage guarantee system to prevent the departure of key personnel. If self-rehabilitation is challenging, we match strategic investors (SI) and financial investors (FI) and execute debt reduction exit strategies through pre- and post-approval M&A.
