M&A stories are a bit like London buses. You wait around at the bus stop for one to arrive, it never comes but when it does another two buses arrive straight afterwards.
And so it's the case for The Sunday Telegraph, whose business section was plastered with deal scoops today following a few lean weeks.
Ben Marlow and Ben Martin's tale about British American Tobacco hiring Centreview Partners, the hyper-active advisory boutique, was of particular interest.
The dynamic deal reporting duo suggest Centreview's appointment has been made with a view to making a multi-billion pound takeover bid for Reynolds American (BAT owns 42pc of Reynolds American).
Now, I suspect Marlow and Martin may be onto something here. Back when I revealed BAT had brought on board Deutsche Bank alongside longstanding advisor UBS (in case you don't recall here is the link: http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/business/industries/consumer/article4086903.ece) my understanding was that one of the options BAT was looking at was waiting until Reynolds American and Lorillard combined and then making a move on newly merged companies. So, Marlow's and Martin's scoop about Centreview would imply BAT is a step closer to pulling the trigger. Or, will the FTSE 100 tobacco giant pursue a different deal? Only time will tell, I guess.
Elsewhere in the Sunday business press, Dan Dunkley of the The Sunday Times had an interesting line on the London Stock Exchange takeover situation. Dunkley reports that the Chicago Mercantile Exchange is more likely to bid for Deutsche Borse, which itself trying to buy the LSE as part of a £20 billion merger deal. Here is the link:

Anyway, I will be talking a bit more about the above on Tip TV so tune in tomorrow if your vaguely interested...
My life became devastated when my husband sent me packing, after 8 years that we have been together. I was lost and helpless after trying so many ways to make my husband take me back. One day at work, i was absent minded not knowing that my boss was calling me, so he sat and asked me what its was all about i told him and he smiled and said that it was not a problem. I never understand what he meant by it wasn't a problem getting my husband back, he said he used a spell to get his wife back when she left him for another man and now they are together till date and at first i was shocked hearing such thing from my boss. He gave me an email address of the great spell caster who helped him get his wife back, i never believed this would work but i had no choice that to get in contact with the spell caster which i did, and he requested for my information and that of my husband to enable him cast the spell and i sent him the details, but after two days, my mom called me that my husband came pleading that he wants me back, i never believed it because it was just like a dream and i had to rush down to my mothers place and to my greatest surprise, my husband was kneeling before me pleading for forgiveness that he wants me and the kid back home, then i gave Happy a call regarding sudden change of my husband and he made it clear to me that my husband will love me till the end of the world, that he will never leave my sight. Now me and my husband is back together again and has started doing pleasant things he hasn't done before, he makes me happy and do what he is suppose to do as a man without nagging. Please if you need help of any kind, kindly contact Happy for help and you can reach him via email: happylovespell2@gmail.com

ReplyDeleteAre you having a hard time searching for a way to get your ex partner back, look no further, this was how i got mine back you can get yours today. My husband and I have been through every top reason for divorce; financial struggles, bankruptcy, stressful jobs, becoming parents when we weren’t ready (neither one of us would give our kids back just the amount of stress is overwhelming) we fought ALL the time over anything and everything. I threatened divorce all the time. One day after a fight I said I was done and filling. He told me he wasn’t in love with me anymore. After a day or two of cooling off I realized that divorce is not what I wanted. No, our marriage was not healthy but we had so much going against us an neither one of us were trying. I begged for him to forgive me and that I didn’t mean it. He told me he loved me but wasn’t in love with me anymore. Those words hurt and I believed him.One day i was online for tutor, as i was browsing i saw a review about a spell caster who could solve my problem, i have heard about spell casting, and magic, i said i should give it a try i contacted the spell caster his name is Dr Ewan of {covenantsolutiontemple@gmail.com}, i contacted him and he told me not to worry that all he had to do for me is a love spell, he did it and told me that i should give my husband 48 hours and that he would realize him self, i waited anxiously and one the second day of casting the spell, he came to me and told me he was sorry for the wrong he did to me, he has agreed to send me to school and we are happy. Thank you Dr Ewan you are the best. If you have any marital problem, winning of lottery and many other problems you can contact him on his email, {COVENANTSOLUTIONTEMPLE@GMAIL.COM} or call his mobile number +2347052958531, he is a good and kind man. Thanks. ELIZABETH STRONG LONDON UK
ReplyDeleteDr Malaika doesn’t ask for testimonies and he doesn’t charge. His email is odogwumalaika@gmail.com He is genuine and people get to meet him by luck.
ReplyDeleteBut right now am your luck if you meet him. Every other testimonies of spell casters you read here are scams.
Dr Malaika lives in Nigeria and I happened to meet him by chance after a friend told me about how he brought back
her ex and restored her lost womb. She also told me about how Dr Malaika cures all forms of illness ranging from
HIV to Cancer, Fibroid, and Infertility and also Money spells. I followed those other internet testimonies and was
hugely scammed to the extent that I wanted to kill myself. Dr Malaika turned my situation around, He made my ex
come crawling on his knees to have him back. His email address is odogwumalaika@gmail.com , mobile: +2347065448120
but please don’t make him know that I published
him on net. He is just wonderful and I wish whoever that finds him good luck.
