À propos de ce contenu audio

 The M&A Moment is an insider's guide to the world of business mergers and acquisitions. Each episode is an examination of the strategy, structure and valuations behind multi-billion dollar corporate deals. We look at the buyer or acquirer’s motivation for acquiring a company whether it be for strategic or financial reasons. We also look at the target or seller’s strategy for choosing a buyout as their exit strategy. From friendly mergers to hostile takeovers, from leveraged buy-outs to cash and stock deals, we cover it all so that you can understand the legal, financial and business rational behind this important business practice.

The M and A Moment stars Donald Landwirth, host of “Bay Area Ventures” on SiriusXM’s Business Radio Powered by the Wharton School. Donald is a serial entrepreneur, Silicon Valley veteran and expert in the San Francisco Bay Area way of business. He is joined by Richard Climan, Partner at the law firm of Weil, Gotshal and Manges, LLP. Rick is one of the top M&A Attorneys in the world, having been the lead attorney for hundreds of multi-billion dollar M&A transactions. He is also the former head the American Bar Association’s M&A Committee and routinely teaches mergers and acquisition negotiations and law for the ABA and at some of the top law schools in the world.

      0009 May 2017 - Rick Climan and team move to Hogan Lovells
      May 25 2017
      In this episode of The M&A Moment I talk with Rick Climan about moving himself and his entire world-class M&A team to the Hogan Lovells, LLP law firm. This is a major shakeup in the mergers and acquisitions world as it brings an even broader set of resources to his already formidable practice.

      Rick is involved in some of the largest tech mergers and acquisitions in the world and with the growing number of multi-national mega mergers Rick will be better positioned and better supported to capture this growing opportunity.

      Rick and I discuss the recent opening of the tech IPO market and whether or not that will have a meaningful impact on M&A deal flow.

      Finally, we take look at recent developments in the $5 Billion Broadcom/Brocade merger. We look at some recently announced divestitures from Brocade that will be contingent on the Broadcom merger gaining FTC approval and what might be the strategic reason for announcing them at this time.

    • 0008 April 2017 - MaxLinear acquires Exar Corporation

      0008 April 2017 - MaxLinear acquires Exar Corporation
      Apr 26 2017
      In this episode of The M&A Moment, I talk with Rick Climan, a partner at Weil, Gotshal and Manges, LLP, about year to date mergers and acquisition numbers, recent deals involving San Francisco Bay Area companies and the mechanics of launching an M&A deal from the seller’s perspective of a publicly traded company.

      On the day that this show was recorded, Rick’s company was involved with a $28 Billion takeover of CR Bard by Becton-Dickinson. Rick couldn’t discuss much about that but, he does review some of the publicly available information about another recent deal his firm was involved in, PetSmart’s $3.35 Billion acquisition of Chewy.com.

      Rick and I discuss MaxLiner’s (NYSE: MXL) $660Million takeover of the Bay Area’s Exar Corporation (NASDAQ: EXAR). This deal was of interest to me because MaxLinear’s CEO, Kishore Seendripu, was a classmate of mine at Wharton.

      Finally, as mentioned, we take an in-depth look at the “mating dance” of M&A from the seller’s perspective. We look at why sellers pursue M&A as a strategy and how they begin the process of setting the value of their firms and making prospective buyers aware of their desire to sell.

      0007 March 2017 - Intel acquires Mobileye
      Mar 29 2017
      In this episode of The M&A Moment, I talk with Rick Climan, a partner at Weil, Gotshal and Manges, LLP, about world-wide and San Francisco Bay Area mergers and acquisitions for the first quarter of 2017.

      In technology M&A, we look at Intel’s acquisition of Mobileye for $15 billion and Hewlett-Packard Enterprise’s purchase of Nimble Storage for $1 billion. We also look at the volume of global M&A in terms of both overall dollar value and the number of deals taking place in the first quarter of 2017. We look at trends in the currency of mergers and acquisitions whether it be cash or stock and then, we look at what lies ahead for the rest of 2017.

      Finally, we take an in-depth look at the “mating dance” of M&A from the buyer’s perspective. We look at why buyers pursue M&A as a strategy and how they implement that strategy from selecting a target to initiating the negotiations. As an aside, next month we’ll take a look at the process from the target company’s perspective, so be sure to check back here, for that.
