Virtus Westchester Credit Event Fund Roy D. Behren, Michael T. Shannon, Steven V. Tan | “Conduent Business Services operates business process outsourcing and digital operations platforms. The manager's bullish investment thesis centers on credit recovery through non-core asset monetization, allowing the issuer to pay down debt and significantly improve balance sheet liquidity. The investment mechanics focus on credit risk repricing and balance sheet deleveraging. Prior to the asset divestitures, Conduent's 2029 bonds traded at deeply discounted, distressed levels below 72 cents on the dollar, pricing in substantial default or restructuring risk. By completing the sale of two transportation business units for approximately $234 million, management unlocked tangible cash to extinguish debt obligations, sparking a sharp bond price recovery into the mid-80s as debt-to-EBITDA leverage ratios improved. Key forward-looking catalysts include closing additional asset divestitures flagged by management, which should further right-size capital structure and provide liquidity to retire upcoming debt maturities. Primary risks include transaction execution failure, operational deterioration in the core remaining enterprise business, and potential shortfalls in net cash proceeds.” | BULL | Q2 2026 Jul 1, 2026 | View Pitch |
