Equity Financing / Distressed Debt Investments

• Equity investments: With regard to equity investments, Grünwald Equity invests in established and profitable companies either in the form of buyout transactions or by providing growth capital. We prefer majority ownership (controlling interests) but also pursue minority investments.
   
• Distressed debt investments: Grünwald Equity purchases distressed credit claims owed by companies that have run into problems. We focus on acquiring single credit claims as opposed to credit portfolios. We only invest in companies if we can clearly identify the mistakes made in the past and are convinced that we can resolve the problems by simple operating measures.

In some cases, the repayment of the credit claim can be undertaken by a debt equity swap resulting in a long-term Grünwald Equity investment. However, the preferred option in these cases is a third party recapitalization of the company once it has been fully stabilized.
