Ocean Tomo Serves as Intellectual Property Financial Advisor in the Cengage Learning Restructuring
Chicago, IL (PRWEB) April 04, 2014 -- Ocean Tomo, LLC, the Intellectual Capital Merchant Banc™ firm, made public today its role as intellectual property (IP) advisor, supporting Cengage Learning’s plan of reorganization. Ocean Tomo served as the lead valuation advisor to the debtors with regards to valuing certain copyrights that were part of the debtors’ estate. The copyrights represented a meaningful portion of Cengage Learning’s owned copyright portfolio and impacted the recovery of all creditor classes. Accordingly, Ocean Tomo was hired by the debtors to value the copyrights as part of the negotiation amongst the various creditors and played an important role in facilitating an amicable settlement.
“The value of the copyrights was an early variable between the creditors on how to allocate value under the plan of reorganization. Ocean Tomo undertook a highly quantitative and nuanced approach to valuing these IP assets, which aided in the successful negotiation and mediation amongst the creditors,” noted Roy D'Souza, Ocean Tomo Managing Director and head of the firm's Valuation Practice.
Ocean Tomo's role as IP advisor on the restructuring included participation in all aspects of the valuation of the disputed copyrights.
