TORONTO, March 6, 2018 /CNW/ - Canaccord Genuity is pleased to
announce the expansion of its North American Debt Finance & Restructuring practice with the addition of Brian Bacal as Managing Director and Head of Canadian Restructuring.
"We are very pleased to welcome Brian Bacal, who brings an outstanding track record of advising
on a broad range of restructuring engagements both in Canada and the U.S.," said Chris Blackwell, Managing Director and Head of Investment Banking. "The addition of dedicated Canadian-based
expertise adds a strong complement for our existing team in the U.S. and strengthens our advisory capability for clients in
Canada."
The Canaccord Genuity Debt Finance & Restructuring team provides fully independent strategic advice without the inherent
conflict of its lending competitors. The group draws upon deep expertise and relationships across a fully integrated global
platform, to deliver a broad range of opportunities and solutions for companies seeking to better utilize their balance sheets
and unlock greater value within their capital structure.
Starting in April, Brian will be based in Toronto and will work closely with our
restructuring advisory professionals in Canaccord Genuity's U.S. operation. Together, they will build upon Canaccord Genuity's
history of restructuring advisory mandates with notable U.S. and Canadian companies, while they continue to enhance collaboration
with their counterparts across the firm's global operations.
Brian brings more than a decade of experience to his role, most recently as a senior member of the recapitalization and
restructuring group at Moelis & Company, where he led coverage in Canada for the group and
advised on many Canadian, U.S. and cross-border assignments since 2009. In this role, he oversaw in-court and out-of-court
financial restructurings, provided advisory services including liability management and reduction, covenant amendments, maturity
extensions, stressed and distressed asset acquisitions and sales, and insolvency planning and execution. Brian has led
multi-party negotiations on behalf of creditors and debtors and his expertise spans nearly every major industry sector, including
aerospace, consumer goods, energy, financial institutions, industrials, healthcare, infrastructure, lodging, media, metals and
mining, power & utilities, retail, services, technology and telecom. He began his career at Greenhill & Co. in
2006. Brian holds an HBA from the Richard Ivey School of Business.
