Situation

SSG Capital Advisors, LLC was retained several months after the Company filed Chapter 11 and had to act quickly to go to market to sell Prestige as a going concern. The Company was facing a very limited sale window while surviving on cash collateral with no DIP financing facility.

Solution

Prestige was sold to Ventanas Acquisition Corporation, a private equity sponsored firm, under Section 363 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the U. S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Jersey. SSG's experience in expeditiously identifying alternative solutions and buyers, as well as navigating a very contentious Chapter 11, enabled all key stakeholders to maximize recoveries while preserving the jobs of the majority of Prestige's employees.
