The Guardian -- World Latest |
| IPO planned for F1 in the next 12 months despite chief executive Bernie Ecclestone being engulfed in multiple legal battles
Private equity firm CVC Capital is targeting a $12bn (£7.8bn) market capitalisation for Formula One in its planned flotation on the Singapore stock exchange, according to a source close to the company.
The initial public offering (IPO) of F1 is on track to take place in the next 12 months despite its chief executive Bernie Ecclestone being engulfed in a legal battle over payment of an alleged bribe.
CVC originally intended to float F1 in June last year but put the brakes on the plan due to the worsening eurozone crisis. Instead, it cut its stake by around half through selling 28.4% of F1 for $2.1bn to money managers BlackRock, Waddell & Reed and Norges, the investment division of Norway's central bank.
The source said that CVC "isn't planning to sell more stakes before the float. If you look at Discovery Channel and other comparables, the market is up 25% since we ... |

Daniel Loeb: hedge funds' Mr Pink guns for Sony
|
14.5.2013 |
The Guardian -- World Latest |
| Famed for his acerbic attacks on corporate boards, one of Wall Street's most successful investors has achieved some notable successes
When he starting out as a hedge fund manager in the 1990s, Dan Loeb used the nickname Mr Pink while visiting investor chat rooms. It was a reference to the character in Quentin Tarantino's film Reservoir Dogs, who gets away with the diamonds, leaving his co-conspirators dying in a warehouse.
The name has stuck and for good reason: billionaire Loeb has made a habit of getting away with the diamonds. One of Wall Street's most successful investors, he even managed to land a $500m (£326m) windfall from the Greek debt buyback deal .
Famed for his acerbic attacks on corporate boards , he has branded spineless board members as country-club frequenting "socialites"; and people that inherit their shareholdings as members of "The Lucky Sperm Club", while slamming chief executives as chief value destroyers, or CVDs.
It is not just empty rhetoric. With large ... |

Sony: the key operations in the breakup battle

14.5.2013 |
The Guardian -- World Latest |
| Businesses at the centre of a clash between hedge fund boss Daniel Loeb and Japanese giant's board
Sony at a glance
Sony, the company behind the Walkman, Django Unchained and Michael Jackson's back catalogue, was established in Tokyo in 1946. Twelve years later it floated as Sony on the Tokyo stock exchange, listing in the US in 1970. Worth about $150 at the height of the dotcom bubble, the shares have since plunged by more than 85% and Sony is worth about $18.5bn today.
Sony Electronics
Apple may have dominated the market for portable music players over the past decade, but Sony was the company that first allowed the mass market to listen to music on the move, with the cassette-playing Walkman in 1979. Sony Electronics was also behind the Trinitron colour TV system, launched in 1966, which was famed for its bright images. More recently, the company has enjoyed huge success with its Bravia flatscreen TVs and the wildly popular Playstation gaming console.

Hedge fund boss launches bold plan to break up Sony

The Guardian -- World Latest |
| Daniel Loeb wants Sony to spin off part of its entertainment and life insurance arms, leaving the core electronics divisions
Sony, the Japanese electronics and entertainment giant, is facing an audacious breakup bid in a battle that could rock the staid Japanese corporate world.
US hedge fund billionaire Daniel Loeb has amassed a 6.5% stake in the $18.5bn (£11bn) group and is calling for it to be broken up. Renowned for stirring up huge fights with US companies, Loeb wants Sony to spin off part of its entertainment arm, which owns one of Hollywood's largest film studios, behind the latest James Bond move Skyfall, and one of the biggest music labels in the world, behind artists such as Taylor Swift.
The New York Times reports that Loeb, who founded hedge fund Third Point, flew to Tokyo last weekend for three days of meetings with government officials, regulators and senior Sony executives, citing people briefed on the matter. He is said to have hand-delivered a letter to Sony chief ... |

| City councils and local activists have stymied shale gas mining in New York, and could prove an example for others to follow
Readers of the New York Daily News were treated to a little unsolicited advice from Ed Rendell recently. The former Pennsylvania governor, a Democrat, who presided over much of the fracking boom in his state from 2003 to 2011, invited his neighboring governor – who's been sitting on the fence over shale gas mining – to join the party.
In Pennsylvania, Rendell effused , "thousands of solid jobs with good salaries were created, communities came back to life and investment in the state soared".
What the Daily News failed to mention is that Rendell has lobbied the Environmental Protection Agency in favor of a driller company, Range Resources, and is currently a paid consultant of Elements Partners , a private equity firm with big stakes in several energy companies that are engaged in fracking.
And what Rendell failed to mention is that the drilling of over 150,000 ... |

11.5.2013 |
Guardian: Science |
| A hedge fund manager, a science writer and a friend of Robbie Williams gave thousands to the group that is demanding new press laws
One of Britain's wealthiest hedge fund managers, a music producer who is a close friend of Robbie Williams, and a successful author can all be named today as donors to the Hacked Off campaign.
Arpad Busson, whose personal fortune is estimated at £145m, donated £20,000 to the group which is campaigning for new press laws. Other donors include Guy Chambers, a producer for former Take That singer Williams, and the science writer and TV producer Simon Singh, the Observer has discovered.
Hacked Off, which sat in on late-night talks at Ed Miliband's Commons office when the royal charter on newspaper regulation was agreed by the three political parties, refuses to reveal its donors.
On its website, the only funding it discloses is a £50,000 grant during 2012-13 from the Joseph Rowntree Reform Trust and more than £20,000 it says it is due to receive from the ... |
