HELPPPP!!!!! - presenting Restructuring deal
I have to do a deal presentation for an AC and I picked a demerger since I thought it was quite interesting and unusual.
However, I am now unsure of what to include in it since I can't find any more details on it. All I have so far are the demerger rationale, the market reaction after the demerger was completed and some data on how the companies have performed since.
Am I on the right track? If so, what else could I include?
If not, should I switch deal?
Any guidance would be really appreciated
Thanks in advance!
Can you give us more info on the demerger you're going to be presenting?
I suggest presenting the deal (all the stuff you said in the OP) and then giving your $0.02 on the deal and have good rationale behind your thoughts.
- Could it have been structured differently that would have been more advantageous to person XYZ or organization X?
- Do you think it was the right strategic move? Why?
- If the performance has been bad/good add your insight into why that's the case
- Present a couple other companies that could benefit from a similar demerger and why you chose them
The reality is that they don't care about the deal, they're more than likely looking for:
1. how you present the information and your powerpoint/presentation design skills
2. how YOU analyze the deal, synthesize information, and your additional insight
Thank you so much for the info+help!
It's the Prudential plc - M&G Prudential demerger that got finalised in Oct last year. From what I gathered, they wanted to pursue different markets and have more control over their own strategy and capital allocation. The presentation itself is only meant to last 5 mins (followed by Q&A) and I'm only allowed 2 slides of information. Figures wise, I don't really have much to add to the presentation asides from the cost of the demerger. I have some opinions on some of the questions you have mentioned in your reply which I will put briefly in the presentation and will try to back up my thoughts with figures from their EOY 2019 report and their recently published half year results.
My knowledge is quite limited when it comes to different restructuring strategies and their different technicalities, I am unsure how much I could elaborate if my interviewers decide to dig deeper. Do you think I'll be digging my own grave if I mention anything regarding this?
Make sure you make a pre- and post-demerger capital structure table. That’s arguably the most important part. They want to see that you’ve looked through the long boring debt agreements.
