👨💼【Teacher / CFO of Client Company】:
Thank you for coming today. Our company is facing a serious financial crisis, and we need comprehensive support from your bank. Can you explain what kind of restructuring options you can offer?
(本日はお越しいただきありがとうございます。当社は深刻な財務危機に直面しており、貴行から包括的な支援が必要です。どのような再建オプションを提供できるか説明していただけますか?)
🧑🎓【Student / Corporate Restructuring Banker】:
I understand your situation. Let me explain our support plan. First, we will review your debt structure and prepare a restructuring proposal. Second, we will provide new funding to support your operations. Third, we will help you develop a business recovery plan with clear milestones.
(状況は理解しました。支援計画を説明させてください。第一に、貴社の債務構造を見直し、リストラクチャリング提案を準備します。第二に、事業運営を支援するための新規資金を提供します。第三に、明確なマイルストーンを伴う事業再生計画の策定を支援します。)
👨💼【Teacher / CFO of Client Company】:
That sounds helpful. However, we have multiple creditors, and some of them may not agree with the restructuring plan. How will you handle the creditor meeting?
(それは助かります。しかし、当社には複数の債権者がおり、一部は再建計画に同意しないかもしれません。債権者会議をどのように進めますか?)
🧑🎓【Student / Corporate Restructuring Banker】:
We will arrange a creditor meeting and explain the recovery plan in detail. We will share financial data and show how the restructuring will improve your company's performance. We expect all creditors to understand that this plan is the best option for everyone.
(債権者会議を手配し、再生計画を詳細に説明します。財務データを共有し、リストラクチャリングが貴社の業績をどのように改善するかを示します。この計画が全員にとって最良の選択肢であることを、すべての債権者が理解すると期待しています。)
👨💼【Teacher / CFO of Client Company】:
I appreciate your approach. But what if some creditors still reject the plan? We cannot delay this process because our cash flow is getting worse every week.
(アプローチには感謝します。しかし、一部の債権者がそれでも計画を拒否した場合はどうなりますか?キャッシュフローが毎週悪化しているため、このプロセスを遅らせることはできません。)
🧑🎓【Student / Corporate Restructuring Banker】:
If some creditors decline the initial proposal, we will work with them to find a solution. We can offer flexible payment terms or additional guarantees. Our goal is to reach an agreement as soon as possible and avoid further delays.
(一部の債権者が当初の提案を拒否した場合、解決策を見つけるために協力します。柔軟な支払条件や追加保証を提供できます。私たちの目標は、できるだけ早く合意に達し、さらなる遅延を避けることです。)
👨💼【Teacher / CFO of Client Company】:
What about the monitoring system after we start the recovery plan? We need to make sure the plan is working and report progress to all stakeholders.
(再生計画を開始した後のモニタリング体制についてはどうですか?計画が機能していることを確認し、すべてのステークホルダーに進捗を報告する必要があります。)
🧑🎓【Student / Corporate Restructuring Banker】:
We will set up a monitoring system to track your financial performance every month. We will review key indicators such as revenue, cost reduction, and cash flow. We will also prepare monthly reports and share them with all creditors to keep everyone informed.
(毎月、貴社の財務パフォーマンスを追跡するモニタリングシステムを構築します。収益、コスト削減、キャッシュフローなどの主要指標をレビューします。また、月次レポートを作成し、すべての債権者と共有して、全員に情報を提供し続けます。)
👨💼【Teacher / CFO of Client Company】:
That gives me confidence. When can we start this process? Time is critical for us right now.
(それは心強いです。いつこのプロセスを開始できますか?今、時間が非常に重要です。)
🧑🎓【Student / Corporate Restructuring Banker】:
We can begin the review process next week. We will complete the initial assessment within 2 weeks and schedule the first creditor meeting by the end of next month. We understand the urgency and will work to meet your timeline.
