Private Distressed Debt and Credit Risk Management

While Private Debt LLC ("PD"), the private debt brokerage arm of M.J. Whitman, provides sophisticated investors with value opportunities in the distressed market, it also helps vendors and financial institutions hedge their credit risk to financially distressed customers. The risk management product most frequently used is the Accounts Receivable Put Agreement (the "AR Put"). The AR Put allows credit providers to ensure payment on risky accounts when the services of a traditional factor or trade credit insurer are unavailable. PD also acts as an intermediary between vendors and more than 1,000 financial institutions with respect to factoring services, asset-based financing deals, and trade claim sales.

Please note that this product may not be suitable for all investors. It involves a high degree of risk and is available only to accredited investors and institutions seeking to hedge their credit risk to financially distressed counterparties. Please call 212-888-0242 for more information.
