New York, NY, August 31, 2010 — Golden Networking is pleased to announce 20 top speakers that will participate at Distressed Investing Experts Forum 2010, “Analyzing and Valuing Distressed Companies, Securities and Real Estate” (http://www.DistressedInvestingExpertsForum.com), September 21st, 2010, Consulate General of the Republic of Poland, New York City. Speakers and panels are listed below:
Panel 1: The Current Distressed Investing Landscape in 2010 and Beyond
• Mr. Bruce Ferguson, Managing Partner, Apex Fundamental Partners LLC
• Mr. Carl Trop, Principal, Greyfields
• Mr. Greg Corona, Chairman, Lakewood Capital, LLC
• Mr. Jeff Schachter, Managing Director, Helios Advisors
• Mr. Jonathan Kanterman, Managing Director, Stillwater Capital Partners
• Mr. William Sherer, Director, Houlihan Lokey
Abstract: The most challenging economic environment since the Depression has provided distressed investing practitioners with an extraordinaire entry point; successful subject matter experts debated strategies to take advantage of these opportunities early this year at Distressed Investing Leaders Forum 2010; they are returning to New York City to share lessons learned and necessary adjustments to their successful strategies investing in financial assets, distressed debt and real estate.
Panel 2: Acquiring Distressed Financial Assets from the FDIC
• Mr. Ira Perlmuter, Managing Partner, T5 Equity Partners
• Mr. Ralph Deppisch, Managing Member, Luminous Ventures
• Mr. Richard Zahm, Managing Director, EM Capital Global Advisors LLC
• Mr. Thomas Donatelli, Managing Director, Signature Capital Partners
Abstract: The Financial Times reported last July that Toll Brothers Inc. partnered with Oaktree Capital Management to buy a portfolio of distressed loans with a face value of $1.7 billion from the FDIC. Does the trouble in the banking system from bad loans and the recession represent a hidden golden opportunity? How to deal with the cross-support requirement, collateralizing risk among separate investments? Would the FDIC offer to share buyers’ losses on the assets being transferred be enough to attract more buyers?
Panel 3: Lucrative Opportunities Investing in Distressed Debt
• Mr. David Hartheimer, President, Clearbid Capital
• Mr. James Sprayregen, Partner, Kirkland & Ellis LLP
• Mr. Jonathan Krautmann, Distressed Investing, Third Avenue Management LLC
• Mr. Scott Eisenberg, Managing Partner, Amherst Partners LLC
• Mr. Steven Kargman, President, Kargman Associates
Abstract: While distressed debt is high risk, fund managers are finding the prospect of returns of 20 per cent hard to resist when compared with what they can make from investing in other asset classes. Would debt investing boost returns for investors at the end? Which sectors to avoid as unemployment becomes a more chronic issue? Which are new loan level products available for investors? Which international opportunities exist for hedge funds and private equity firms? Will the intensifying interest in Europe be ultimately justified?
Panel 4: Finding the Best Opportunities in Distressed Real Estate Investing
• Mr. Craig Schiffer, Partner, Sevara Partners
• Mr. Daniel Hilpert, Managing Partner, Mortgage Equicap, LLC
• Mr. Joel Assouline, Founding Partner, A2 Investment Group
• Mr. Matthew Baron, Principal, Simon Development Group
• Mr. Navin Nagrani, Vice President, Hilco Real Estate
Abstract: Private-equity real estate funds have a record $104 billion of equity available for U.S. deals, London-based research firm Preqin Ltd. reported in June. Meanwhile, lenders are still engaged in the “extend and pretend” strategy: holding property values steady and assisting the borrowers where possible. Are these times of opportunities or challenges? Which trends are perceived in the troubled real estate market? Will we see an extended period before the real estate industry catches up with the rest of the country in recovery?
