1- Introduction
According to the theory of corporate life cycle, companies have different behaviors in their financial and economic life cycle in different stages of their life, in that the financial and economic characteristics of a company are influenced by the stages of its life cycle. (Bexsia, 2007). Also, financial distress, default and bankruptcy are the main stages in the company's life cycle. The restructuring strategies that companies choose are very important in coming out of financial distress. Companies are trying to get out of the crisis by choosing the best strategy, because in this situation, the company is under great pressure from shareholders and creditors and should take corrective action as soon as possible. In this research, three types of restructuring strategies, including managerial restructuring, operational restructuring and financial restructuring, have been investigated considering the degree of financial distress and business life cycle.

4- Results
The results of the research show that financial distress has a bearing on the corporate restructuring strategy (CEO change). Most companies are forced to change the company's CEO in a crisis with the pressure of their shareholders; however, most companies do not prioritize this strategy. On the other hand, the lifecycle and financial distress also affects the corporate restructuring strategy; companies in the growth stage tend to use this strategy. In addition, the combination of company life cycle and financial distress is effective in reducing the level of corporate investments. The results show that the life cycle stages have an impact on the company's operational restructuring strategy (sales ratio), so that the growth stage is effective on the reduction of the cost-to-sales ratio. In addition, the phases of life cycle and financial distress of the company do not have a significant effect on the company's restructuring strategy, which means that companies in different stages of their life cycle and in the time of financial distress, this strategy do not put their priority. The results of financial restructuring strategies also show that the phases of life cycle and financial distress are effective on the corporate financial restructuring strategy (share dividend), so that in the growth stage, the life cycle stages of the dividend of the shares decreased and in the decline phase, this effect is greater. Financial distress has had a negative impact on dividend yield. Also, the phases of life cycle and financial distress have affected the corporate financial restructuring strategy (net equity), as the net equity of the companies in the growth stage is dramatically rising and the company approaches the declining stage and or the distance to its defect will be reduced, its amount will decrease. According to Koeh et al. (2015), most companies that are approaching their declining levels as well as in the face of financial distress, reduce dividend yields, and inevitably due to the net increase in corporate debt, reduce net equity. Laroca et al. (2009) find that corporate debt utilization depends on the size of the company, from growing companies to emerging companies decline is variable.
