TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Catalyst Capital Group Inc. (“Catalyst”) is pleased to announce that it has been recognized with the 2017 Cross Border Turnaround of the Year Award from the Global M&A Network for its role in the restructuring of Pacific Exploration & Production Corp. The award recognizes the best value-creating multi-jurisdictional restructuring events with a qualified value above US$5 billion, in or out of court.
Catalyst was also nominated for the 2017 Global Private Equity Turnaround Firm of the Year Award along with Apollo Global Management, LLC, Cerberus Capital Management, L.P. and Oaktree Capital Management LP. The winner of this award will be announced at Global M&A Network’s 9th Annual Turnaround Atlas Awards on April 4th, 2017, in New York, NY.
Newton Glassman, Managing Partner of Catalyst, said, “In our first year of participating in this global analysis, we are very pleased to be recognized for Cross Border Turnaround of the Year in relation to our work with Pacific E&P and to have been nominated for Global Private Equity Firm of the Year.”
Gabriel de Alba, Managing Director and Partner of Catalyst, said, “With multiple jurisdictions involving numerous regulators, courts, creditors and stakeholders, Pacific E&P’s restructuring was a success only because of the effort of everyone involved. This included those within the company, among the creditor groups and across the advisor community. Through these efforts, Pacific E&P emerged from its recapitalization with a renewed strategic focus, immediately relisted as a public company and has the right leadership in place to drive value creation for all stakeholders.”
Added de Alba, “I certainly want to thank the talented team at Catalyst for such a tremendous outcome. This recognition is a testament to Catalyst’s focus on principled investing in the distressed market and generating superior results for investors.”
