Some of the most complicated and often confusing areas that Credit Officers, In-House Counsel, Special Asset Managers, collectors and staff have to deal with is how to successfully navigate through loans or collateral that may be in distress, loans that are nearing default or that are in default and bankruptcy filings involving or that may affect your borrower, loan or collateral – all while protecting and preserving the financial institution’s rights and when possible preserving the relationship with the customer. This is especially true in times like now where in many instances and segments of the economy borrowers may be struggling or are starting to struggle. Dealing with these types of issues and situations can be in many instances more “art” than “science” given all of the unknowns and seemingly countless variations and situations that might arise and having a basic understanding of what you might expect to encounter in and out of bankruptcy can prepare you for what is occurring or is likely to come in the future. 

The KBA is here to help and provide financial institutions and their employees and representatives to be better prepared for when loans start defaulting with more regularity and bankruptcy filings increase and how to deal with everything both before, during and after bankruptcy. This seminar will help broaden the basic understanding of the world of distressed loans, workouts and foreclosures and the bankruptcy process, but to also show you how these issues and concepts apply in “real-world,” practical situations. This beginning to intermediate program will provide attendees with an introduction to the types of issues that may arise when dealing with loans that are in or are nearing default, when collateral might be in jeopardy or in distress, or when borrowers may file bankruptcy. The seminar will also expand on that foundation with hands-on and interactive hypothetical situations, real-world case studies and examples of situations that are likely to arise, including those that regularly occur within loan defaults, workouts and restructurings and within Chapter 7, Chapter 11 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy cases. This includes forbearance agreements, “standstill agreements” and other workout concepts and arrangements, foreclosures and other collateral actions and liquidations, the “ins and outs” of bankruptcy schedules and statements and related filings, Chapter 13 “model” plans, concepts and provisions common in Chapter 11 and Chapter 12 plans of reorganization and liquidation, and an overview of proofs of claims and related issues. Attendees should expect to leave with an increased comfort and understanding of the types of problems that a financial institution may encounter dealing with its borrowers and customers who may be in distress, and how those issues may be best resolved in the best interest of the financial institution.
