Key Insights on Restructuring Trends in 2023

During 2023, half of the restructuring deals concluded consensually. English restructuring techniques, such as schemes and CVAs, remained the most popular choice for non-consensual deals in Western Europe. Debt-for-equity deals and new money deals with an equalization feature saw an increase in 2023 compared to 2022. There was a shift towards debt-for-equity swaps happening outside of court, with fewer in-court equalizations. Additionally, the use of amended extend transactions in non-consensual deals grew from 17% in 2022 to 40% in 2023.
