  • Marc Chase - President of Tribune Interactive!
    SURELY YOU CAN’T BE SERIOUS? MARC CHASE - PRESIDENT OF TRIBUNE INTERACTIVE! Randy Michaels’ run of acquiring radio-management stars came to a screeching halt today with Chase’s appointment CHICAGO, April 7, 2008 – Another freaking Clear Channel Communications executive on the payroll and this one’s been named President of Tribune Interactive. Tribune Broadcasting’s Randy Michaels’ past finally caught up with him when Marc Chase obviously blackmailed his way into a position he is not remotely qualified to hold. Insiders are irate. Chase is a fraud. A source inside Tribune HR, who wished to remain anonymous, pointed out that Marc Chase’s resume (below) was obviously fabricated. First of all, his name isn’t even Marc Chase--it’s Mark Thompson. The whole thing is a sham.

I couldn’t be happier! I know Randy is relieved to finally have me on Sam’s payroll.” Tribune has undergone major changes in the past year, with billionaire Sam Zell acquiring the company last April in a complex deal that left it with $13 billion in debt.

A revolutionary event with both static and interactive content from mainstream, exotic and classic cars to off-road vehicles, Festival of Motoring USA will be anchored by leading automakers along with other industry-related companies. Adding to the strength of the event is Kinrara, Goodwood’s international event consultancy.

Road Atlanta is recognized as one of North America’s most dynamic road courses. In the future, Festival of Motoring USA will expand to include additional North America locations. “We are pleased to be working alongside a powerhouse such as Crain Communications to bring this experiential event to the U.S.,” said Messe Frankfurt Inc. President and CEO, Konstantin von Vieregge. “Our combined competencies solidify our path to success and the realization of our vision to provide a high-energy, comprehensive automotive event that appeals to all motoring enthusiasts.” Festival of Motoring USA will be modelled after the highly successful Festival of Motoring Johannesburg in South Africa.

  • A Note on Leveraged Buyouts, Defaults & Bankruptcy
    A Note on Leveraged December 16 Buyouts, Defaults & 2014 Bankruptcy Bradley Drake Rajeev Kasthuri Vanitha Kathrotia Elaine Press A Note on Leveraged Buyouts, Defaults & Bankruptcy 2014 A leveraged buyout (“LBO”) is a transaction which involves the purchase of a controlling stake in a business most often by a financial sponsor such as a private equity firm or an investor utilizing substantial levels of debt. LBO debt is generally considered to be non-investment grade debt instruments; as a result of the higher default and loss given default-risk profiles, the investors demand higher rates of return to commensurate for the risk. Historical internal rates of return over a five-year period investment or above indicate returns exceed the public market equivalent. Specifically a 10- or 20-year investment in buyout funds indicate 14% / 13% returns vs. the S&P 500 returns of 7% over the same time horizon. (Bain Capital) Given the highly leveraged profile of the LBO’s, however, defaults are prominent during economic downturns, interest rate shocks, industry shifts, and operational disruptions, all which lead to severe deterioration in cash flow, with certain companies undergoing extreme distress and ultimately opting for bankruptcy. To provide a general overview, the paper will provide a discussion on the capital structure of an LBO, background on defaults, bankruptcies, recovery rates and similar occurrences to comparably rated non-LBO transactions.
