After <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/avison-young-default-downgrade-pave-way-for-restructuring\/\">deleveraging its corporate finances<\/a>, the company has closed a comprehensive recapitalization that was approved by all financial partners. The deal reduces the firm\u2019s financial obligations by more than half and secures additional capital for future deployment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The transaction also entails the formation of a smaller, independent board of directors, led by Mark Rose as chair. The board will downsize from 11 members to just five and will have two independent directors appointed by the company, besides Rose, and two appointed by its lenders, according to <em>Bisnow<\/em>. The members of the board will be announced in the following weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The company\u2019s leadership will continue to hold a substantial majority of ownership in the organization. Anticipating a review by U.S. credit rating agencies, the firm foresees updated ratings reflecting its improved financial standing following the recent transaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The agreement is expected to enhance equity value for both shareholders and principals, while also aligning with compensation based on market standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Centerview Partners LLC, Kobre Capital LLC and Long Castle Advisors Corp. acted as financial advisors, while Stikeman Elliott LLP, McDermott Will &amp; Emery LLP and DLA Piper LLP provided legal counsel. Lazard Fr\u00e8res &amp; Co. served as the investment banker, and Paul Hastings LLP acted as legal advisors for the syndicated lender group. Additionally, C Street Advisory Group was communications advisor for Avison Young.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-avison-young-s-resilience-amid-financial-challenges\">Avison Young\u2019s resilience amid financial challenges<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In February, S&amp;P Global Ratings downgraded Avison Young\u2019s issuer credit from &#8220;CCC&#8221; to &#8220;SD&#8221; and lowered the issue-level rating on a $325 million senior secured term loan to &#8220;D&#8221; from &#8220;CCC-&#8220;.
