M&A whiz Ben Bailey, Portfolio Manager at Harvest Lane, is back.
Ben is one of the most knowledgeable minds in the M&A investing space, with the team at Harvest Lane running a relatively unique strategy by solely focusing on companies involved in deals.
With him, we dig into a number of transactions, including CZR’s bid for Zuleika, where a company trading below cash is issuing shares to buy another Creasy-controlled vehicle, as well as gold up-and-comer Forrestania’s takeover of Zenith, in which Harvest Lane took FRS to the Takeovers Panel.
We then jump into Global Lithium and Atlantic Lithium, picking apart the differences and similarities in their respective takeovers.
In the show, we cover:
• Why Harvest Lane is pushing back on the CZR and Zuleika deal
• Independent experts and “fair and reasonable”
• Forrestania, Zenith and the Takeovers Panel
• “You’re not lawyers. Go away.”
• Global Lithium, Atlantic Lithium and FIRB
