  • National Bank of Greece (NBG) Memo Name: James Zhang Phone #: (757) 788-9962 College/School: CLAS Year: Class of 2017
    National Bank of Greece (NBG) Memo Name: James Zhang Phone #: (757) 788-9962 College/School: CLAS Year: Class of 2017 Company Description [NYSE; NGB] is a Greek bank and financial services company that primarily operates in commercial banking, but also has business in retail banking, investment banking, asset management, and insurance. The National Bank of Greece SA previously wrote off huge losses on its balance sheet during the Eurozone debt crisis, it has been on a steady path to recovery since the second half of 2013, and has been expanding its business in various sectors throughout Europe. Specifically, the rise in Greek lending and home loans, diversification by way of improved operations in Turkey and emerging markets, and the general recovery of the Greek economy will propel NGB to huge growth in the long term. Most notably, recent actions by Mario Draghi and the European Central Bank will create a healthy, stable environment for the National Bank of Greece to achieve its upside potential over time. Thesis / Key Points Rise in lending and specific developments in the banking sector in Greece will play to NBG’s advantage As Greece’s largest lender, NBG has acted swiftly in the past year to boost its position financially by increasing loans and retailing banking, as well as increasing capitalization from outside investors and generating domestic confidence. o Its nonperforming loans (NLP) have receded drastically and will contribute to its profitability when compared with its 3 closest rivals, Piraeus Bank, Alpha Bank, and EuroBank, who have all booked operating losses in this field. In addition, NGB now controls a quarter of commercial banking in Greece and 25% of total consumer deposits, and has also proceeded to raise around €2.5 billion in capital to reduce the Greece government’s holding stake in the bank.

  • Shakespeare in Love
    FEB Shakespeare 26 MAR in Love 29 Based on the screenplay by Marc Norman & Tom Stoppard Adapted for the stage by Lee Hall Music by Alex Bechtel Directed by Matt Pfeiffer Welcome to Shakespeare in Love. Every year, many of you cry out to us “Dear God, no more Shakespeare!” While others plead “I loved your Winter’s Tale, your Richard III. Please put on Midsummer. I beg you for a Twelfth Night.” With Shakespeare In Love, the Purists and the Never Barders may unite to curse us with a plague on both our houses, but if they — and you — are someone who loves love, well then . Here is a love letter to romantic love, to the theatre, and to the rebellious, transgressive, mysterious, and glorious madness of both. Whether you keep Shakespeare close to your heart or far from it, we invite you to celebrate what he loved most: the stage, its players, poetry . and a dog. Zak Berkman, Producing Director Lend me your ears Matt Pfeiffer, Director I’ve been really blessed to spend most of my career working on the plays of William Shakespeare. I believe his plays are foundational to Western culture. Love him or hate him, his infuence is an essential part of our understanding of stories and storytelling. And I’ve had the privilege for the last six years of fostering a specifc approach to his plays. I found that attempting to be in conversation with the principals of the theatre practices of Shakespeare’s time was a good starting place—not so much aesthetically, but logistically.

  • Film Financing and Television Programming: a Taxation Guide
    Now in its eighth edition, KPMG LLP’s (“KPMG”) Film Financing and Television Programming: A Taxation Guide (the “Guide”) is a fundamental resource for film and television producers, attorneys, tax executives, and finance executives involved with the commercial side of film and television production. The guide is recognized as a valued reference tool for motion picture and television industry professionals. Doing business across borders can pose major challenges and may lead to potentially significant tax implications, and a detailed understanding of the full range of potential tax implications can be as essential as the actual financing of a project. The Guide helps producers and other industry executives assess the many issues surrounding cross-border business conditions, financing structures, and issues associated with them, including film and television development costs and rules around foreign investment. Recognizing the role that tax credits, subsidies, and other government incentives play in the financing of film and television productions, the Guide includes a robust discussion of relevant tax incentive programs in each country. The primary focus of the Guide is on the tax and business needs of the film and television industry with information drawn from the knowledge of KPMG International’s global network of member firm media and entertainment Tax professionals. Each chapter focuses on a single country and provides a description of commonly used financing structures in film and television, as well as their potential commercial and tax implications for the parties involved. Key sections in each chapter include: Introduction A thumbnail description of the country’s film and television industry contacts, regulatory bodies, and financing developments and trends.
