Glass Lewis confirms advice to Mediobanca investors to back Banca Generali bid MILAN (Reuters) -Leading governance adviser Glass Lewis on Wednesday confirmed its recommendation to Mediobanca shareholders for a vote in favour of the bid to acquire private bank Banca Generali, a document showed. The vote to be held on Aug. 21 had initially been scheduled for June 16. It was postponed as the proposal risked lacking sufficient support due to friction between the Italian merchant bank’s top management and some of its leading investors. "We continue to believe that Mediobanca shareholders should support the company’s proposal," Glass Lewis wrote in a report seen by Reuters. "We find no reason to amend our prior recommendation at this time," it added. Rival proxy adviser Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS) last week also reiterated its recommendation for a "yes" vote. Monte dei Paschi di Siena. The takeover attempt, one of a dozen M&A deals reshaping Italian banking, has opened up a battlefront between Mediobanca CEO Alberto Nagel and two top domestic shareholders who have recently also become the main investors in Monte dei Paschi.

S4 Capital shares soar on news of MSQ Partners merger talks Investing.com -- S4 Capital PLC (LON:SFOR) said on Monday it is in early-stage discussions to acquire marketing agency MSQ Partners, a move that sent its shares soaring. The S4 Capital stock was up 8.5% in London trading as of 08:04 GMT. The digital advertising group, founded in 2018 by Martin Sorrell after his departure from WPP (LON:WPP), said MSQ is majority-owned by private equity firm One Equity Partners. It said that there is no guarantee the talks will lead to a deal. Sky News first reported the talks on Saturday. “This should be construed as a small positive for the equity today,” Jefferies analysts led by Oliver Conroy said in a note. S4 has been under pressure from client budget cuts linked to U.S. tariffs and a shift toward AI-led marketing, prompting the company to lower its revenue outlook in June. Advertising groups broadly are facing greater competition as brands demand faster adaptation to new technology. The company’s market value has plunged to about £140 million, down roughly 98% from its September 2021 peak. A tie-up with MSQ would expand S4’s reach into finance, healthcare and consumer goods, adding to a roster of more than 250 clients including Unilever (LON:ULVR), Haleon (LON:HLN), Procter & Gamble (NYSE:PG) and Lego. S4’s own client list features Google-parent Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL), Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) and Meta (NASDAQ:META). The firm last year turned down multiple merger approaches from Stagwell, the advertising group led by former Clinton adviser Mark Penn. In June, S4 said it expects full-year like-for-like net revenue to fall by a low single-digit percentage, citing continued caution from tech clients against a backdrop of a softer global economy and U.S. tariffs. It had previously projected 2025 revenue and core operating earnings to be broadly in line with 2024 levels. The owner of the Monks agency reaffirmed its outlook for like-for-like core operating profit for the year. With GOOGL making headlines, savvy investors are asking: Is it truly valued fairly? In a market full of overpriced darlings, identifying true value can be challenging. InvestingPro's advanced AI algorithms have analyzed GOOGL alongside thousands of other stocks to uncover hidden gems. These undervalued stocks, potentially including GOOGL, could offer substantial returns as the market corrects. In 2024 alone, our AI identified several undervalued stocks that later surged by 30 or more. Is GOOGL poised for similar growth? Don't miss the opportunity to find out.

FTC seeks to block Edwards Lifesciences’ acquisition of JenaValve (Reuters) -The U.S. Federal Trade Commission sued to block Edwards Lifesciences Corp (NYSE:EW)’s acquisition of JenaValve Technology Inc, saying in a lawsuit filed in Washington on Wednesday the merger would decrease competition in the market for a device meant to treat a potentially fatal heart condition. Edwards and JenaValve are the only two companies in the U.S. currently conducting clinical trials on transcatheter aortic valve replacement devices, which are used to treat a condition called aortic regurgitation where the heart’s aortic valve does not close properly, the FTC said in its lawsuit. Edwards said it "disagrees with FTC’s decision and believes it will limit the availability of an important treatment option for patients suffering from aortic regurgitation." It expects a final outcome by early 2026. Edwards announced the deal in July 2024, along with its acquisition of another heart valve maker, Endotronix. The deals, together valued at approximately $1.2 billion, were aimed at expanding its portfolio of structural heart disease treatments. With valuations skyrocketing in 2024, many investors are uneasy putting more money into stocks. Sure, there are always opportunities in the stock market – but finding them feels more difficult now than a year ago. Unsure where to invest next? One of the best ways to discover new high-potential opportunities is to look at the top performing portfolios this year.

David Ellison to lead combined company after Paramount-Skydance merger closes (Reuters) -Skydance Media CEO David Ellison will lead the new company as chief executive after its merger with Paramount Global is completed by August 7, the independent studio said on Monday. After the deal closes, the company is expected to be structured into three primary business segments - studios, direct-to-consumer and TV media. Ellison has previously pitched a vision of Paramount as a "tech hybrid" media firm that will prioritize expanding the Paramount+ streaming service to better compete in the crowded direct-to-consumer video market. The merger was largely necessitated by the persistent decline of the traditional cable TV business as audiences rapidly abandon linear TV in favor of streaming platforms, forcing Paramount to take nearly $6 billion in write-downs on cable assets.

S&P Global raises Endo ratings on Mallinckrodt merger completion Investing.com -- S&P Global Ratings has raised its rating on Endo Inc. to ’BB-’ from ’B+’ and assigned a stable outlook following the completion of its merger with Mallinckrodt (OTC:MNKKQ) PLC on Friday. The rating agency subsequently withdrew its issuer credit rating on Endo, now considering it a core subsidiary of Mallinckrodt due to operational alignment with the parent company’s business and strategy. S&P also upgraded Endo’s debt instruments, raising the super-priority revolving credit facility issued by Endo Finance Holdings Inc. to ’BBB-’ from ’BB’ with a recovery rating of ’1+’, indicating expectations for full recovery in case of default. The senior secured term loan and notes were upgraded to ’BB-’ from ’B+’ with a recovery rating of ’3’, suggesting meaningful recovery of 50%-70%. While the merger moderately improves Mallinckrodt’s business strength, S&P notes that Mallinckrodt plans to divest the generics business. The company intends to spin off Par Health, a new segment containing both companies’ generics businesses, Mallinckrodt’s API business, and Endo’s sterile injectables business. This divestiture would reduce Mallinckrodt’s scale back to about $2 billion in revenues and increase product concentration, with the top three products representing approximately 62% of revenue. S&P views this planned separation as a slight credit negative due to reduced scale and diversity, though partially offset by the better growth profile and higher EBITDA margins of the remaining branded business. Key products in Mallinckrodt’s portfolio include Xiaflex and Acthar Gel, each contributing about 13% of revenue, which S&P expects to continue growing over the next few years. The agency also notes that Terlivaz, approved in September 2022, has revenue potential of $200-$300 million, though generic competition is expected by 2029. S&P identifies the absence of additional assets in the company’s branded product pipeline as a key weakness and credit risk, suggesting acquisitions will be essential for long-term viability. The stable outlook reflects S&P’s expectation that Mallinckrodt will see modest revenue growth over the next 12 months while maintaining adjusted debt to EBITDA between 2.5x and 3.5x.

KKR faces EU probe over alleged misleading info in Telecom Italia deal Investing.com -- The European Commission launched an investigation Thursday into whether U.S. investment firm KKR provided incorrect or misleading information during its €22-billion ($26 billion) acquisition of Telecom Italia (BIT:TLIT)’s fixed-line network. The EU competition enforcer, which had unconditionally approved the deal in May 2024, said its decision was partly based on long-term agreements between FiberCop, Telecom Italia’s last-mile grid unit, and telecommunications companies Fastweb and Iliad. "Under the investigation opened today, the Commission will assess whether KKR provided incorrect or misleading information about these agreements," the EU watchdog said in a statement. The Commission has taken a strict stance in recent years against companies that provide misleading information during merger reviews, imposing substantial fines on violators. Before you buy stock in TLIT, consider this: ProPicks AI are 6 easy-to-follow model portfolios created by Investing.com for building wealth by identifying winning stocks and letting them run.

NaCC rules Cheetah-Ohorongo deal a no-go Justicia Shipena The Namibian Competition Commission (NaCC) has blocked the proposed merger between Whale Rock Cement, trading as Cheetah Cement, and Schwenk Namibia, the parent company of Ohorongo Cement. The decision was announced on Friday, 4 July 2025, following an investigation into the acquisition filed on 17 February 2025. Whale Rock Cement had applied to acquire the entire issued share capital in Schwenk Namibia from Schwenk Zement International GmbH & Co. KG. Whale Rock Cement owns and operates a cement plant near Otjiwarongo and supplies the domestic market under the Cheetah Cement brand. Schwenk Namibia holds a controlling interest in Ohorongo Cement, one of the country’s largest cement producers. It also owns Energy for Future, a company that produces energy for Ohorongo using biomass sourced from clearing farm scrub. The Commission defined the relevant market as the production and supply of cement in Namibia. It found that the merger would turn the current duopoly into a monopoly, eliminating one of the country’s only two major competitors. NaCC warned that the deal would give the merged company excessive market power, enabling it to act without regard to normal market pressures. The potential consequences, according to the commission include higher cement prices, lower output, declining quality, and fewer choices for consumers. The effects, the Commission noted, would ripple through the construction sector and the broader economy. NaCC also raised concerns about employment. It said that overlaps between the two companies could result in job losses. It further warned that post-merger strategies might reduce tax contributions, which could negatively affect government revenue. “The transaction was found to be likely to substantially lessen or prevent competition in the relevant market,” the Commission stated. During a stakeholders’ meeting hosted by the NaCC in Windhoek, Otavi Constituency Councillor George Garab had objected to the merger, citing concerns over the potential sale of Ohorongo Cement to foreign investors. Garab, representing the Otavi Cement Group, expressed worry about the long-term impact of such a move on local interests. Nick Korb, speaking on behalf of a business consortium that includes also opposed the merger. He warned that it would collapse the current duopoly and create a monopoly. Ohorongo Cement is majority-owned by Schwenk Zement International GmbH & Co., which holds a 69.83% stake through Schwenk Namibia. The Industrial Corporation of South Africa owns 14.27%, the Development Bank of Namibia holds 11.73%, and the Development Bank of Southern Africa owns 4.17%. Transparency concerns also emerged during the meeting. It was revealed that Cheetah Cement had not informed its employees about the proposed merger. Company spokesperson Tabby Moyo confirmed the omission, saying it was done deliberately to avoid speculation and confusion among workers.

HPE, Juniper shares surge on settled DoJ antitrust case Investing.com -- Hewlett-Packard Enterprise (NYSE:HPE) and Juniper Networks (NYSE:JNPR) have reached a settlement with the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), clearing the way for their $14 billion merger, pending court approval. Shares in HPE and Juniper soared around 6% and 8% in Monday premarket trading following the news, respectively. To resolve antitrust concerns, HPE will sell its “Instant On” WLAN business within 180 days to a buyer approved by the DOJ. The sale includes all related assets, IP, staff, and customer contracts. HPE will also auction a license to Juniper’s AI Ops for Mist source code, allowing competitors ongoing, non-exclusive access to maintain market competition in the WLAN space. “While the details of the potential close date for the proposed transaction have yet to be announced, it is our sense that HPE is prepared to get the deal done as quickly as possible,” Bank of America analysts led by Wamsi Mohan said in a note. “We view the settlement as a positive development, giving HPE the opportunity to drive higher growth and margin uplift through cross-selling opportunities and platform unification with JNPR,” they added. The analysts view the potential Juniper acquisition as a catalyst for multiple expansion and long-term earnings accretion for HPE. They believe the combined entity will be well-positioned to deliver an end-to-end networking and AI infrastructure stack, enhancing its competitiveness in AI-enabled datacenter and cloud-edge markets. BofA reiterated a Buy rating on HPE stock and raised its price target from $20 to $23. The bank sees the DOJ settlement terms as modest concessions that do not alter the strategic rationale of HPE’s acquisition of Juniper. HPE agreed to divest its Aruba Instant On WLAN business and auction two licenses for Juniper’s Mist AIOps source code. According to BofA, the divestiture is limited in impact, given Juniper’s stronger position in the WLAN market, and the measures preserve HPE’s goals of strengthening its AI networking portfolio, expanding its enterprise reach, and boosting margins through AI-driven software.

Evri-DHL merger faces review by UK competition regulator Investing.com -- The UK’s Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) is considering whether the proposed merger between Evri and DHL might lead to a substantial lessening of competition within markets in the United Kingdom.

The competition watchdog is examining the deal as part of its regulatory oversight responsibilities, which include reviewing mergers and acquisitions that could potentially impact market competition in the UK. The invitation to comment represents an early step in the CMA’s process of determining whether a full investigation into the Evri-DHL merger is warranted based on competition concerns. Both Evri and DHL are major players in the UK parcel delivery and logistics market, making their proposed combination a matter of potential regulatory interest.

Cheetah Cement sidelines workers on Ohorongo merger Allexer Namundjebo Cheetah Cement did not inform its workers about the planned merger with Ohorongo Cement.  This came to light during a stakeholders’ conference held in Windhoek on Thursday by the Namibian Competition Commission (NaCC).  Cheetah Cement, operated by Whale Rock Cement (Pty) Ltd, said it deliberately withheld the information from workers. A spokesperson for the company, Tabby Moyo, stated that they deliberately withheld the information to prevent speculation and confusion. “The decision is to avoid speculations and confusion among employees,” Moyo said. Meanwhile, Meyer van den Berg, the legal representative of Ohorongo Cement, informed their employees about the planned acquisition through a memo. The proposed merger has faced rejection from several stakeholders at the conference. Most raised concerns about a monopoly forming in the cement sector.  Others questioned why local companies were not given a chance to buy Ohorongo Cement, which is owned by Schwenk Namibia (Pty) Ltd. George Garab, representing Otavi Cement Group (Pty) Ltd, said local ownership is key and that the merger goes against government efforts to promote it. “Even though Otavi Cement Group owns the licence to the farm where Ohorongo Cement operates, we were never given an opportunity to purchase Ohorongo,” said Garab. He said Ohorongo Cement was supported by the Otavi Town Council and other authorities to obtain an operational license.  Now, he claimed, the company is being sold off in secret, excluding local investors and the government. “This undermines the spirit of its foundational obligations and the national goal of economic empowerment and equitable ownership,” Garab said. He warned that the merger could create a near-monopoly in Namibia’s cement market, which could eliminate fair competition and drive up prices.  He said this would discourage local businesses and new market entrants. Grace Muhammad, representing Global Business Development (Pty) Ltd via CCLAS Advisory Services, raised concerns over potential tax leakages. “Since the merger involves foreign companies, there’s a high risk of tax revenues being lost. They should partner with a local entity,” she said. Moyo defended Whale Rock Cement’s presence in Namibia. He said the company entered the market in 2016 to serve both Namibia and the Southern African region. “We aimed to make Namibia a hub for our operations across SADC. But expansion plans have been hampered by import bans in neighbouring countries,” Moyo said. He said the company has more than 30 years of experience in cement manufacturing from China, and also works in industrial sectors such as chemical building materials and environmentally friendly technology. The merger between Cheetah Cement and Ohorongo Cement is aimed at consolidating their position in Namibia’s cement industry.  The companies want to gain full control of production, improve efficiency, and grow their market share.  The plan includes streamlining supply chains, cutting costs, and boosting their competitiveness locally and across the region. However, regulatory and public concern remains high. The NaCC has blocked similar mergers in the past. The commission is worried about reduced competition, possible collusion, and the creation of a monopoly. It fears that companies could engage in price fixing or divide the market among themselves, which would also hurt consumers. The commission also raised concerns over the potential exclusion of local businesses and employees and the risk of foreign control in a vital sector for Namibia’s infrastructure growth. The NaCC said a fair and competitive market is necessary. It said the market must allow local participation and avoid the concentration of power. The commission is still accepting inputs regarding the merger from stakeholders until next week.

Pep Stores, Big Daddy merger approved The Namibian Competition Commission (NaCC) has officially approved the acquisition of Big Daddy Clothing by Pep Stores Namibia. Commission spokesperson Dina //Gowases on Monday said the decision to approve the merger was made at a meeting last Thursday. Big Daddy Clothing is a family-owned retailer with 24 stores across Namibia, while Pep Stores Namibia is part of Pepkor Holdings Limited, which operates several major retail brands in the country, including Pep, Ackermans, Tekkie Town, Dunns, Refinery, and Shoe City.

The mergers were approved with conditions to support local suppliers, prevent product bundling, and avoid merger-related job losses. The post Pep Stores, Big Daddy merger approved appeared first on The Namibian.

Discover stock recovers on merger optimism Investing.com -- Shares of Discover Financial Services (NYSE:DFS) pared earlier losses, trading down 4% midday after a report from The New York Times (NYSE:NYT) indicated that the Justice Department may not oppose its merger with Capital One (NYSE:COF). The stock had fallen to lows earlier in the session, touching $152.3, but recovered to trade above $169 as the broader financial sector faced declines. The market’s initial reaction to the news of President Trump’s tariffs plan had sparked concerns over weaker capital markets and a potential slowdown in consumer spending, leading to a downturn in bank stocks. However, Discover’s shares showed resilience following the report that the Justice Department had communicated to regulators, specifically the Federal Reserve and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, that it did not find sufficient competition concerns to block the proposed $35 billion merger with Capital One. The merger, announced in February 2024, had been met with skepticism due to worries that it could negatively impact consumers, particularly those seeking credit cards without an established credit history. During the Biden administration, the Justice Department had expressed concerns about the deal’s potential effects. Nevertheless, the investigation continued into President Trump’s term, and this week’s letter from the Justice Department appears to have alleviated some of the regulatory uncertainty surrounding the merger. The news of the Justice Department’s stance is a positive development for Discover as it suggests a smoother path forward for the merger, which is a significant event for the company and its stakeholders. However, it is important to note that the information regarding the department’s position is based on anonymous sources and has not been officially confirmed.

SPAC HCM II Acquisition rises on Terrestrial Energy merger news Investing.com -- Shares of blank check company HCM II Acquisition Corp. (NASDAQ:HOND) climbed 7.4% today following the announcement of a business combination with Terrestrial Energy, which will make the latter the first publicly traded molten salt nuclear reactor developer.

Terrestrial Energy has already secured partnerships with notable organizations and has achieved significant regulatory milestones, including the completion of the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission’s Vendor Design Review. The business combination is anticipated to close in the fourth quarter of 2025, with the combined entity applying for listing on Nasdaq under the ticker symbol "IMSR". The deal has been unanimously approved by the Boards of Directors of both companies and is subject to customary closing conditions. Terrestrial Energy’s leadership, including CEO Simon Irish, will continue to head the company post-merger, with all existing shareholders rolling their equity holdings into the new public entity. The company has also secured commitments for customary lock-ups from its management team and primary shareholders. The announcement has been positively received by the market, reflecting confidence in the potential of Terrestrial Energy’s innovative nuclear technology and its ability to meet the growing demand for clean and reliable energy.

Albertsons terminated the merger immediately after courts blocked it and sued Kroger, alleging a breach of contract that led to the deal falling apart. The formal termination ended a two-year effort by the grocery chains to combine that regulators - who moved to stop the deal - said would eliminate competition and cause higher prices and reduce leverage for unionized workers. In December, Albertsons asked for billions of dollars in damages along with a $600 million termination fee. Kroger had called the claims baseless. Albertsons engaged in a campaign with divestiture buyer C&S Wholesale Grocers to pursue its own regulatory strategy, Kroger said on Tuesday. "Albertsons’s misconduct shockingly came to light in the middle of the antitrust trials under government cross examination of Susan Morris, Albertsons’s recently promoted CEO designate," Kroger said. The supermarket chain said Albertsons was not entitled to the termination fee or other damages due to its "misconduct". "Kroger’s weak claims are a deliberate tactic to distract from its own ongoing executive leadership issues; blatant and recurring failures to carry out its contractual obligations under the Merger Agreement; and avoid paying the damages it owes," Albertsons told Reuters in an emailed statement. In early March, Kroger CEO Rodney McMullen resigned after a board investigation found that his personal conduct was "inconsistent" with certain company policies. The same day Albertsons said its CEO Vivek Sankaran would retire and insider Morris would assume the top role. Kroger said the counterclaim aimed to seek damages from Albertsons to recover the investment it had made to obtain regulatory approval for the merger. The grocer also added in the counterclaim it appeared that Albertsons had shifted its focus towards the current legal battle long before instead of pushing to close the transaction. However, Albertsons said on Tuesday it was "committed to the success of the combination from the outset" and it was Kroger who did not hold up its end of the bargain. "We look forward to presenting our case in court," Albertsons said.
