8. Restructuring….
Restructuring is the process through which an
The basic nature of
organization radically changes the contractual restructuring
relationships that exist among its creditors, is a “zero-sum game”,
shareholders, employees, and other stakeholders. a “marginal utility”
It is the corporate management term for the act of
reorganizing the legal, ownership, operational,
financial or other structures of an organization for
the purpose of making it more profitable and
efficient. Strategies of restructuring include
portfolio restructuring, organizational structuring
and financial restructuring.
Restructuring is an on-going process. It is a value
tool for an organization to use in an attempt to
maintain their goals and objectives. The choice of
which strategy to use will depend on the area the
organization has to improve, i.e. profitability,
performance, or operation.
The basic nature of restructuring is a zero-sum
“game”. It reduces financial losses, while reducing
tensions between debt and equity holders to
facilitate a prompt resolution of a distressed
situation or a situation that requires change.
8
9. Reasons for Restructuring
The three primary reasons for restructuring:
1. To address poor financial performance.
Declining or stagnating sales, accounting losses, or a falling stock price are usually the
warnings. In extreme cases such poor performance may cause the company to default on its
debt, resulting in bankruptcy.
2. To support a new corporate strategy, or to take advantage of a business opportunity.
In an equity spin-off, for example, a diversified firm's businesses are split apart into independent
entities, each with its own common stock. Spin-offs can make sense when a high-growth
business is being held back by a bureaucratic corporate parent, or when it no longer makes
sense for a company to be vertically integrated. In this case, a sign that restructuring may be
necessary when the stock market is valuing the entire company for less than what its separate
businesses would be valued for if they were separate, independently-traded companies.
Restructuring is required to correct a large error in how the company is valued in the capital
market.
3. To correct a large error in how the company is valued in the capital market.
In large diversified companies that operate in many different businesses even if the businesses
may be well-run, investors may place too low a value on the overall portfolio. Restructuring tools
like tracking stock, stock buybacks, or leverage buyouts, can be used to reduce this kind of
value gap.

10. Symptoms for Restructuring
Symptoms indicating the need for corporate restructuring include:
The market(s) perception about the organization is deteriorating. Lack of

Significant staffing increases or decreases are contemplated.
Personnel retention and turnover is a significant problem.
Workforce productivity is stagnant or deteriorating.
Morale is deteriorating.
10
11. Obstacles to Restructuring
Common obstacles to restructuring include:
Denial of acknowledging problems: Organizations have tended to
restructure only reactively in response to pressure and when action
has become unavoidable.
Saving jobs: Observed mostly in governmental organizations The key is
characterized by lifetime employment and seniority-based
promotion employment security, saving jobs even at the expense of to
shareholder interests continues to sway executive decision-making.
Internal politics and long-held tradition: Restructuring efforts can recognize
fail because the initiatives are not followed group-wide and are
changed shortly after announcement, when politics and tradition the problem
stand in the way.
Executives' disregard for shareholder value: Organizations divest as early as
their businesses, those businesses are often incurring heavy losses
as a result of several years of poor performance; executives can be possible
reluctant to divest underperforming businesses, even when they
know that the divestiture will maximize the value for shareholders.
Arrogance: Executive management believes that it knows how to
solve the problems without outside help often ignoring changing
market dynamics.

Key factors for successful restructuring include:
Setting specific short- and long-term objectives to be
achieved through restructuring; It is key to

13. Preemptive Restructuring
Organizations could benefit by restructuring before they are
hit with a crisis; a preemptive restructuring may often be
appropriate. If an organization waits too long to address Preemptive
problems with its business, the resulting restructuring may be
very painful as the options remaining will definitely be fewer. restructuring

road
Organizations must perform a "restructuring audit" on their
businesses periodically, looking for opportunities to create
value by voluntarily restructuring, before circumstances leave
them with no choice.
13
14. Preemptive Restructuring
Preemptive or not restructuring initiatives fail when issues are overlooked or approaches
undertaken are unrealistic. Key points the Board of Directors (BOD) should consider before
restructuring:
Adding value Balancing short- and long-term risks
What is the organization’s core business How is the employment brand managed?
(Units, products, services and customers that Could proposed measures damage the future
bring cash into the business)? business strategy?
How should the redesigned organization look What steps should be taken so that key

Engaging effectively with staff organization?
Is the approach to restructuring consistent
with the organization’s declared values?
Are effective communication plans in place?
Is management engaging with staff in an
appropriate manner?
How does staff feel about being part of the
organization?

15. Prior to Restructuring
Prior to restructuring:
Make sure that that the organization’s owners, leadership
team and directors are personally protected.
When the organization is in trouble or under restructuring,
