06 Corporate Restructuring / Epiq MANEUVERS
 epiq’s corporate restructuring solution:
epiq’s web platform eased communication with major stakeholders

Proprietary case management software administered

every phase of corporate reorganization

Web site accommodated spikes as thousands of users access

the site simultaneously

Multilingual call-center operators addressed vendor and employee concerns

Epiq staff assembleD creditor data from multiple sources for review by professionals

epiq’s experience in chapter ii matters streamlined the process

A major airline navigated its bankruptcy and took
new flight.
We were in touch with the airline’s major creditors before the judge’s
signature was dry on the Chapter 11 first-day orders. Our ability to
respond immediately prevented interruptions in service, as we helped
the airline maintain relationships of trust with thousands of critical
vendors.
Our web-based case-management system kept creditors, employees,
investors and customers—and their accountants and lawyers­­—on
board with a steady stream of information broadcast electronically
and by hard copy. As the court-approved administrator and claims
agent, Epiq gathered and compiled all the airline’s liabilities, while
processing all creditors’ claims. Through every stage, we managed
thousands of claim amendments, assignments, withdrawals and
expungements. Our work enabled bankruptcy counsel to meet legal
requirements and the court’s deadlines. Meanwhile, our full-service
approach kept bankruptcy tasks running smoothly, so the executive
team and its advisors could spend more time flying the carrier out of
Chapter 11.

08 Corporate Restructuring / Epiq sCALE
 epiq’s corporate restructuring solution:
Experienced response helped debtor meet looming deadlines
in early stages of Chapter 11 filing

Epiq’s professionals guided management through time-consuming,

labor intensive process of compiling the creditor matrix

Proprietary software streamlined preparation of schedules

of assets and liabilities and statements of financial affairs

Skilled case managers handled claims management and noticing requirements

Proven Epiq teamwork early on won Epiq a position as the debtor’s liquidating trustee

A small client realized big benefits.
Although it is the international cases that make headlines, every day our
team provides support to clients who will never be a household name.
Because we know, no matter the size of a business, a restructuring
client needs specialized, full-lifecycle assistance that starts at the
commencement of their Chapter 11 case and continues throughout the
entire process.
With a tight deadline to file a creditor matrix and an even tighter
budget, Epiq experts focused on maximizing the value of the estate
through the consummation of an asset sale. Epiq provided notice of
commencement of the Chapter 11 cases to the creditor body, including
holders of the client’s publicly traded equity interests. The Bankruptcy
Court’s compressed timeframe for submitting the schedules of assets
and liabilities and statements of financial affairs complicated the process
and forced the client to turn to Epiq for even more assistance. Epiq was
with them then and throughout every other phase of the case.
