Losing a hostile bid is winning, apparently...-Part 2

Saturday, 02 March 2019 2:50 pmBetaville thought it only right that I follow up this week's piece with a snippet noting that it was, in fact, The Sunday Times Prufrock diarist Liam Kelly that first picked up on FTI Consulting's attempt to win an award for its "defence" of GKN.

Losing an £8 billion hostile bid is winning, apparently...

Thursday, 28 February 2019 10:05 pmBetaville enjoyed the titbit in Dom Walsh's business diary column in The Times today about how FTI Consulting entered the PRCA City and Financial Awards for “best M&A or communication in support of a transaction award” for its work defending GKN from last year’s £8 billion hostile takeover by Melrose Industries.

Wednesday, 07 March 2018 7:01 pmThe reason Betaville posits the question is reliable sources suggested the fund manager, one of the larger GKN shareholders, may be willing to support Melrose if it bumps its hostile offer a tad.

JP Morgan skewered in Melrose bid for GKN

Wednesday, 17 January 2018 7:40 amNo self respecting investment banker will ever admit you can have too many clients. Take, JP Morgan, for example. The powerful investment bank is a corporate broker and adviser to GKN and Melrose and was almost always cited on all their deal press releases.
