DISPOSITION
In order to get the highest recoveries for our clients, Onyx utilizes customized disposition strategies and multi-channel formats ranging from immediate liquidity through outright asset purchase, private treaty / negotiated orderly sales, supply chain redirection, on-site and web-based public auctions, to monetization through discrete channels.
SALE PROCESS
Financial distress arises from a variety of events, including overleverage, economic headwinds, liquidity issues and other challenges. The Onyx team works with distressed situations, both in-court and out of court, to achieve the highest risk adjusted returns for our clients and their clients. In doing so, Onyx executes efficient and strategic sale processes utilizing creative sale structures and innovative strategies that attract bidders and/or credible stalking horse interest by leveraging our vast database of strategic and financial buyers.
ADVISORY
We work extensively with Attorneys, CRO’s, Financial Advisors, Assignees, Trustees/Receivers and other restructuring professionals to advise them on the best strategy to monetize assets. The Onyx team has over two centuries of experience and expertise in structuring and executing orderly disposition strategies, capital investments, reorganizations, online auctions and valuation projects across the globe.
CAPITAL
To help provide immediate liquidity and critical time for more strategic decisions, Onyx has the ability to deploy significant capital for a single transaction, pre-fund disposition activities, an outright multi-asset purchase across a broad range of asset classes or provide DIP financing. This ability allows us to work flexibly with our clients as both a strategic and financial partner.
