⚰️Wound downdissolved

OC301522 · llp · incorporated 2002-02-20

Investment thesis

Company dissolved — not a live target.

Why interesting: Historical record only; useful for precedent research.

Why risky: Not transactable.

Why now

Window steady · low confidence

Stable recent picture — watch for any upcoming trigger event.

Opportunity decay

approaching window · 12-months

Approaching a transaction window — refinance or sale event plausible in the next 12 months.

· Oldest live charge 22.0y old — refinance window within 12 months

Investor take

Pass (distressed without resilience)

Distressed unclear — structural issues outweigh the discount.

Opportunity 41/100 (watch), bankability 60/100. Asset purchase likely safer than share purchase given structural signals. Biggest value-creation lever: Resolve: Company dissolved. Company has been dissolved — it no longer legally exists. Any diligence here is historical only. Most likely exit: share sale to pe / searcher (35/100). Current lenders should be on monthly review.

🏦

Refinance opportunity

6 live charges · oldest 22.0y

65/100

clean up first

Refinance viable after a tidy-up — address the highlighted items first.

· Oldest live charge is 22.0 years old — likely at or near maturity.
· Single lender — cleanest path to refinance.
· Legal-friction score 40/100 — workable, but lender will want more DD.

Data confidence

Overall: low (47/100)

Sparse data coverage. Treat AI-generated outputs as preliminary. Manual diligence essential.
