Piper Sandler Expands Restructuring Group With the Addition of John D’Amico

Key Terms

chapter 11 regulatory

Chapter 11 is a U.S. bankruptcy process that lets a financially distressed company keep operating while it reorganizes its debts and business plan under court supervision. Think of it as a formal pause that allows the company to renegotiate payments, shed contracts or assets, and seek a path to profitability instead of being liquidated; investors watch it because it can change the value and priority of claims, equity dilution, or the likelihood of recovery.

out-of-court restructurings financial

Out-of-court restructurings are negotiated changes to a company's debts and contracts made directly with lenders and investors instead of through formal bankruptcy proceedings; they can include extending payment deadlines, cutting interest or principal, or swapping debt for ownership. For investors this matters because a successful negotiation can preserve more value and keep the business running, while terms may reduce bond recoveries or dilute shareholders much like a homeowner renegotiating a mortgage to avoid foreclosure.

mergers and acquisitions financial

Mergers and acquisitions are processes where companies combine or one company purchases another to grow or improve their business. Think of it like two teams joining forces or one team buying out another to become stronger and more competitive. These activities matter to investors because they can influence a company's value, future growth, and overall market position.

special situation transactions financial

Transactions that arise from unusual corporate events—such as mergers, spin-offs, major asset sales, restructurings, tender offers or distress workouts—that can change a company’s value in ways not tied to normal business performance. They matter to investors because these one-off deals often create sudden price moves or hidden value (or risk), like buying a house in the middle of a renovation when the final condition and price can shift quickly.
