Corporate restructuring is about creating value for a company by closing large 'value gaps' that can arise for reasons like poor management or increased competition. The size of these value gaps can be billions of dollars for large companies. The objectives of restructuring are to evaluate current performance, identify new opportunities, and secure a competitive edge. Restructuring strategies include expansion strategies, reorganization strategies like sell-offs, and financial engineering strategies such as equity carve-outs, leveraged recapitalizations, and share repurchases.
