Available transaction types with Bayside Capital:

Equity Investments

Bayside makes equity investments in private and public companies. While we prefer to purchase a controlling stake in a business, we will consider attractive minority investments. We actively seek to partner with existing management teams in management buy-outs and corporate divestitures. Bayside also offers liquidity to non-traditional equity holders as a buyer of  "reorganized" equity (e.g., equity received by creditors in a bankruptcy).

Debt Purchases

In the context of a recapitalization, Bayside will purchase bank and public debt (including senior bank debt, junior secured debt, mezzanine debt, bonds, preferred/convertible stock, trade claims, seller notes, capital leases and other obligations). We are able to quickly and discreetly acquire these obligations from stakeholders who have an interest in monetizing an otherwise illiquid investment or who would prefer a "certain" payout to the uncertainty associated with continuing to hold a position. Because we are able to offer substantial flexibility with respect to valuation and structure, Bayside is able to minimize the time, expense and risk involved in a typical debt purchase. Bayside will purchase a single lender's participation in a syndicated credit, the entire syndicate, and loan pools/portfolios consisting of multiple credits.

Out of Court Restructurings/Turnarounds

Bayside possesses the necessary skills and experience to lead a restructuring of financially or operationally distressed companies outside of a bankruptcy process. We have significant expertise in working with creditors to buy out or restructure burdensome debt and provide the liquidity and access to capital necessary to resume healthy growth. Further, the Bayside team has the operational expertise to assist companies in addressing the underlying business challenges that can create financial distress.

Bankruptcy

The Bayside team has extensive experience in all types of bankruptcy transactions including plans of reorganization and section 363 sales. We can assist a company in preparing a "pre-packaged" bankruptcy filing, including DIP and exit financing. We have sponsored many plans of reorganization and participated in numerous 363 sale processes as both a stalking horse and as a general bidder.

Debtor-In-Possession (DIP) Financing

We actively provide DIP financing to companies considering filing bankruptcy.

Special Situations Lending

Bayside is able to quickly provide a financing alternative in circumstances where obtaining traditional bank financing would be difficult. Bayside is able to move rapidly to provide liquidity in situations where an opportunity is time sensitive such as an acquisition or where business performance creates a cash flow constraint.
