Ford Motor Company (NYSE:F) faced potential insolvency during the last financial crisis

Ten years ago, amidst the worst financial crises since the Great Depression, the American auto industry almost died. By Fall 2008, the Big Three US car companies of General Motors, Chrysler, and Ford faced potential insolvency, and without swift government intervention, their futures were in doubt.

Just prior to the financial crises, under the direction of then-CEO Alan R. Mulallys One Ford plan, Ford had restructured its entire portfolio and raised $US36 billion in financing from the capital markets. Ford sold Swedish-based Volvo, which it had owned since 1999, to Chinese carmaker Geely for $US1.5 billion and also sold Jaguar and Land Rover to Indi…

OCEANPORT, N.J. (AP) – It’s early in a college basketball game and Team A, playing methodically and using up most of the 30-second shot clock, falls behind 10-6. Scattered around the bleachers, several fans staring at their smartphones celebrate silently: they have bet on Team B to be the first to reach 10 points and even promised two Team A starters a cut of the winnings.

With dozens of states rushing to capitalize on the U.S. Supreme Court lifting a federal ban on sports gambling, will fixed scenarios like the one above become more common?

The four major pro major sports leagues and the NCAA think so, and have argued for years that expanding legal betting will lead to more game-fixing. The pro leagues have sought, unsuccessfu…

Carillion, the tip of the iceberg, but the good ship construction cannot change its course

by Ian Anfield, Hudson Contract managing director

Figures published last week highlight the fact that our major contractors are a spent force, and ultimately why they should no longer be allowed to dominate the industry and influence government policy around construction.

Disappointingly, even after the collapse of Carillion, major contractors continue to sweep up the vast majority of publicly funded projects. Local authorities are still falling over themselves to outsource, and despite nice words, small works packages continue to be bundled up into mammoth frameworks, locking out small and medium sized contractors who have the genuine ability t…

Noble Group plans to introduce the schemes of arrangement that underpin its restructuring this week, a key step in the creation of a new company that senior creditors signalled will hold to the highest standards of corporate governance after a drawn-out crisis.

The schemes, which buttress the $US3.5 billion ($4.9 billion) debt-for-equity rescue, will be introduced in courts in London and Bermuda by September 21, the commodity trader said on Monday. In a separate release, the company’s ad hoc group, or AHG, of senior creditors said they expected “Old Noble” to file for insolvency, while its successor entity revives the core business overseen by a tough…

This autumn will mark the tenth anniversary of the most spectacular bankruptcy of all times. On 15 September, 2008, banking heavyweight Lehman Brothers, knocked sideways by the bursting of the sub-prime mortgage bubble a year earlier, declared itself insolvent with $613 billion worth of debt.

This whipped up a storm that raged through Wall…

Scores of debt-ridden young people in Surrey are declaring themselves insolvent before they reach their mid-20s and a debt adviser who works in Redhill has explained why.

New data shows a total of 1,413 people in Surrey either went bankrupt, took on a debt relief order (DRO) or accepted an individual voluntary arrangement (IVA) to manage their debts in 2017.

Of those, 83 were aged under 25.

Chris Gladstone, debt advisor for Community Debt Advice – a church charity based in Redhill – said: We havent had too much experience recently of young people coming to us for debt advice but we will often see youngsters with huge amounts of student debt.

We also see a lot of young people who have racked up a large amount of credit card debt. I saw a …

Did you know that Australian household debt compared to our GDP is sitting at 120 percent and is one of the highest in the world?

Thats what the latest data from the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) says and they should know, as they are the central bankers banker.

Now you might well ask, why this is a problem?

After all, in the past decade, the banks have been lending freely, mostly to help households buy real estate to live in or as an investment.

German yacht builder saved from administration by private equity fund.

German yacht builder Bavaria Yachtbau has been bought out of administration by a private equity fund based in Berlin. The manufacturer went into voluntary administration earlier this year and has since been looking for new backers.

Sommer & Staff Constructions has announced that it has appointed Trent Hancock of PKF Chartered Accountants as Voluntary Administrator.

Sommer & Staff has made the difficult but prudent decision to initiate the administration in an attempt to have the viability of the business and its remaining contracts assessed with the view of fo…
