All Rights Reserved. Welcome to the Book of Jargon® – Global Mergers & Acquisitions. For readers who are lawyers, bankers, or studying to be one, this book can serve as an introduction to the legal and business terms — including corporate and private equity sponsor terminology — often encountered in the structuring, negotiation and execution of mergers, acquisitions and dispositions in many countries around the globe. From statutory terms and nomenclature to sometimes colorful slang, this book includes the words that comprise both home country law and the lingua franca of the M&A world — which has become truly global. Whether private equity or strategic, most deals now cross borders, either due to the global nature of the business being acquired or sold, or because public companies combine to create truly global enterprises. In response, the authors have endeavored to provide an equally global Book of Jargon. This first edition includes key M&A terms used in the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Italy, Qatar, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Spain and the United Arab Emirates. This glossary of more than 1,500 financial, legal and regulatory terms in the M&A area is also available as a free app for Apple and Android devices. These apps will always contain our most up-to-date glossaries. Latham & Watkins publishes a series of practice area-specific glossaries. This publication does not itself constitute legal advice. The terms are also subject to change as applicable laws and customary practice evolve. The authors welcome suggestions for additional terms as well as expanded or clarified definitions for the current terms via e-mail to [email protected] Terms are applicable in the relevant jurisdictions using the key below: FRA France DEU Germany HKG Hong Kong ITA Italy QAT Qatar RUS Russia SAU Saudi Arabia SGP Singapore ESP Spain UAE United Arab Emirates UK United Kingdom US United States 4 ‘33 Act: another name for the Securities Act Jurisdiction: US ‘34 Act: another name for the Securities Exchange Act Jurisdiction: US 100 Day Plan: the name often given to a Buyer’s post Acquisition integration plan or plan to achieve a Financial Buyer’s investment objectives Jurisdiction: UK 13e-3 Deal: see 13e-3 Transaction Jurisdiction: US 13e-3 Transaction: shorthand for a Business Combination that is subject to the special disclosure requirements of SEC Rule 13e-3 — the SEC’s going private rule.

Section 363 Sales are very common in Chapter 11 Reorganizations and are invariably structured as an Auction supervised by the Bankruptcy Court under specified mandatory procedures (as compared to M&A Auctions where the Auction rules are informal — developed and implemented by the Target Company and its Financial Advisor — and can and often are, unilaterally changed and/or ignored).

Following an Event of Default, the bondholders (in accordance with the Terms and Conditions or the Indenture) or Lenders (under a Credit Agreement) have the right to “accelerate” the Due Date of their debts; in other words, they have the right to declare their Bonds or loans immediately due and payable. Note that practice in the US (and in European Indentures) is for Insolvency Events of Default to automatically lead to Acceleration, however this is uncommon in European bank financings. Note that Acceleration can lead to an obligation on the officers of the Issuer/Borrower to file for Insolvency, thereby precluding the ability to agree a consensual out-of-court Restructuring. Jurisdiction: US UK FRA HKG ITA RUS SGP UAE Accordo di Ristrutturazione: a pre-Insolvency Restructuring agreement under Article 182-bis of the Italian bankruptcy law. Filings bring about a stay on creditor action for 60 days, and the company can obtain an immediate stay preceding the agreement in certain circumstances.

Must be homologated, or officially approved, by the bankruptcy court.

  • Power Seeking and Backlash Against Female Politicians
    Article Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin The Price of Power: Power Seeking and 36(7) 923 –936 © 2010 by the Society for Personality and Social Psychology, Inc Backlash Against Female Politicians Reprints and permission: sagepub.com/journalsPermissions.nav DOI: 10.1177/0146167210371949 http://pspb.sagepub.com Tyler G. Okimoto1 and Victoria L. Brescoll1 Abstract Two experimental studies examined the effect of power-seeking intentions on backlash toward women in political office. It was hypothesized that a female politician’s career progress may be hindered by the belief that she seeks power, as this desire may violate prescribed communal expectations for women and thereby elicit interpersonal penalties. Results suggested that voting preferences for female candidates were negatively influenced by her power-seeking intentions (actual or perceived) but that preferences for male candidates were unaffected by power-seeking intentions. These differential reactions were partly explained by the perceived lack of communality implied by women’s power-seeking intentions, resulting in lower perceived competence and feelings of moral outrage. The presence of moral-emotional reactions suggests that backlash arises from the violation of communal prescriptions rather than normative deviations more generally. These findings illuminate one potential source of gender bias in politics.

  • Outlaw: Wilderness and Exile in Old and Middle
    THE ‘BESTLI’ OUTLAW: WILDERNESS AND EXILE IN OLD AND MIDDLE ENGLISH LITERATURE A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Sarah Michelle Haughey August 2011 © 2011 Sarah Michelle Haughey THE ‘BESTLI’ OUTLAW: WILDERNESS AND EXILE IN OLD AND MIDDLE ENGLISH LITERATURE Sarah Michelle Haughey, Ph. D. Cornell University 2011 This dissertation, The ‘Bestli’ Outlaw: Wilderness and Exile in Old and Middle English Literature explores the reasons for the survival of the beast-like outlaw, a transgressive figure who highlights tensions in normative definitions of human and natural, which came to represent both the fears and the desires of a people in a state of constant negotiation with the land they inhabited. Although the outlaw’s shelter in the wilderness changed dramatically from the dense and menacing forests of Anglo-Saxon England to the bright, known, and mapped greenwood of the late outlaw romances and ballads, the outlaw remained strongly animalistic, other, and liminal, in strong contrast to premodern notions of what it meant to be human and civilized. I argue that outlaw narratives become particularly popular and poignant at moments of national political and ecological crisis—as they did during the Viking attacks of the Anglo-Saxon period, the epoch of intense natural change following the Norman Conquest, and the beginning of the market revolution at the end of the Middle Ages. Figures like the Anglo-Saxon resistance fighter Hereward, the exiled Marcher lord Fulk Fitz Waryn, and the brutal yet courtly Gamelyn and Robin Hood, represent a lost England imagined as pristine and forested.

  • Risk & Reward in Aircraft Backed Finance
    Modeling Aircraft Loan & Lease Portfolios 3rd revision Discussion Notes October 2017 Modeling Aircraft Loans & Leases Discussion notes December 2013 2 PK AirFinance is a sub-business of GE Capital Aviation Services (GECAS). The company provides and arranges debt to airlines and investors secured by commercial aircraft. Cover picture by Serge Michels, Luxembourg. 3 Preface These discussion notes are a further update to notes that I prepared in 2010 and revised in 2013. The issues discussed here are ones that we have pondered over the last 25 years, trying to model aircraft loans and leases quantitatively. In 1993, Jan Melgaard (then at PK) and I worked with Bo Persson in Sweden to develop an analytic model of aircraft loans that we called SAFE. This model evolved into a Monte Carlo simulation tool, Lending EDGE, that was taken into operation at PK in 2012 and validated under ISRS 4400 by Deloitte in 2013. I have now made some corrections and amendments to the previous version, based on helpful feed-back from industry practitioners and academics. I have added a section on Prepayment Risk in loans and expanded on Jurisdiction Risk. My work at PK AirFinance has taught me a lot about risks and rewards in aircraft finance, not least from the deep experience and insight of many valued customers and my co-workers here at PK and at GECAS, our parent company, but the views and opinions expressed herein are my own, and do not necessarily represent those of the General Electric Company or its subsidiaries. In preparing these notes, I have been helped by several people with whom I have had many inspiring discussions.

  • Understanding Women's Self-Promotion
    UNDERSTANDING WOMEN’S SELF-PROMOTION DETRIMENTS: THE BACKLASH AVOIDANCE MODEL by CORINNE ALISON MOSS-RACUSIN A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School-New Brunswick Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in Psychology Written under the direction of Dr. Laurie A. Rudman And approved by ____________________ ____________________ ____________________ ____________________ New Brunswick, New Jersey May, 2011 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Understanding Women’s Self-Promotion Detriments: The Backlash Avoidance Model. By CORINNE ALISON MOSS-RACUSIN Dissertation Director: Dr. Laurie A. Rudman Although self-promotion is necessary for career success, women experience backlash (i.e., social and economic penalties) for this behavior because it violates female gender stereotypes (Rudman, 1998). Moreover, women who fear backlash have difficulty with self-promotion, relative to men (Moss-Racusin & Rudman, 2010). The goal of this dissertation was to test the author’s backlash avoidance model (BAM), with the expectation that women’s beliefs that self-promotion violates female gender stereotypes lead them to fear backlash for this behavior, which in turn undermines their self- promotion abilities. Moreover, it was expected that the relationship between fear of backlash and self-promotion success would be at least partially mediated by self- regulatory focus (Crowe & Higgins, 1997) and perceived entitlement (Babcock & Laschever, 2003). To examine these ideas, Study 1 (N = 300) compared male and female participants’ performance on an essay-writing self-promotion task. As expected, women reported higher levels of fear of backlash and lower levels of self-promotion success than ii men.

  • PRIVATE EQUITY DEMYSTIFIED an Explanatory Guide
    Financing Change PRIVATE EQUITY DEMYSTIFIED An explanatory guide John Gilligan and Mike Wright Financing Change An initiative from the ICAEW Corporate Finance Faculty This is the first report to be published under Financing Change, the thought leadership programme of the ICAEW Corporate Finance Faculty. The faculty is the world’s largest network of professionals involved in corporate finance and counts accountants, lawyers, bankers, other practitioners and people in business among its members. Financing Change aims to advance the economic and social contribution of corporate finance activity by promoting better understanding and practice. Once a niche market for finance, private equity today competes with the public markets as a provider of equity capital, and is the owner of many large companies which are household names and major employers. Private equity has been the subject of public debate in many jurisdictions and a number of common public policy challenges have arisen. If future private equity deals are to achieve their full economic potential and avoid being constrained unnecessarily by legislators and regulators, it is important that dealmakers continue to have regard to the context in which private equity transactions take place, and that greater effort is made to provide all stakeholders with clear, transparent and objective information. Private equity demystified – An explanatory guide was commissioned to shed light on the motivations of the main participants in private equity transactions and on their risks and rewards. It deals with issues of international relevance, using UK-specific examples to illustrate operating models, remuneration practices, employment regulations and taxation policy. The report also includes a review of academic studies on private equity transactions from around the world.

Abstract Identification of Biogenic Volatile Organic Compounds for Improved Border Biosecurity by Laura Jade Nixon Effective border biosecurity is a high priority in New Zealand. A fragile and unique natural ecosystem combined with multiple crop systems, which contribute substantially to the New Zealand economy, make it essential to prevent the establishment of invasive pests. Trade globalisation and increasing tourism have facilitated human-assisted movement of invasive invertebrates, creating a need to improve pest detection in import pathways and at the border. The following works explore a potential new biosecurity inspection and monitoring concept, whereby unwanted, invasive insects may be detected by the biogenic volatile organic compounds (VOCs) they release within contained spaces, such a ship containers.
