Bewertungen, Wettbewerb, CFIUS: Bei FINANCE-TV gibt Nils Rahlf von Norton Rose Fulbright Tipps, wie sich deutsche M&A-Strategen auf Übernahmeversuche in den USA vorbereiten sollten. Die starke US-Konjunktur sorgt auch bei deutschen Unternehmen für ein hohes Interesse an Zukäufen in den USA. Doch dort schauen sich auch Unternehmen aus anderen Ländern um, und das macht US-M&A-Deals gerade zu einer Herausforderung, berichtet Nils Rahlf, der als Partner für die Kanzlei Norton Rose Fulbright viele deutsch-amerikanische M&A-Deals begleitet: „Der US-M&A-Markt ist extrem kompetitiv, die Bewertungen sind aktuell 20 bis 30 Prozent höher als auf den europäischen M&A-Märkten“, sagte Rahlf gegenüber FINANCE-TV. Damit werden gute Vorbereitung und hohe Handlungsschnelligkeit zu wichtigen Faktoren, um in den harten M&A-Prozessen eine Chance zu haben. Doch das ist nicht leicht sicherzustellen, mahnt der M&A-Anwalt mit Blick auf das politische und regulatorische Umfeld: „Auch in den USA ist die Regulierung ausländischer Investitionen in den Vordergrund gerückt. Das Sicherheitskomitee CFIUS zum Beispiel ist kritisch wie eh und je und schaut sehr genau hin, vor allem bei Tech-Deals sowie der Übernahme von US-Unternehmen, die mit sensiblen Daten der Bürger arbeiten.“ Die Verkäufer der begehrten US-Targets berücksichtigen diesen Unsicherheitsfaktor bei der Auswahl ihrer Transaktionspartner. Rahlf: „Sie erwarten von Kaufinteressenten eine gründliche Einschätzung dazu, ob die Transaktion auch tatsächlich durchgehen würde.“ Darauf vorbereitet zu sein, sei ein wichtiger Faktor für den Erfolg einer geplanten Übernahme in den USA. In welchen Sektoren deutsche Unternehmen gerade besonders intensiv an US-Targets interessiert sind und welche konkreten Schritte M&A-Strategen schon im Vorfeld von M&A-Verhandlungen einleiten sollten – die Antworten gibt es im FINANCE-TV-Talk.

If you are looking for deals this holiday season, this is where it all starts.  Black Friday leading into Cyber Monday.  With inflation still battering Americans, many price-conscious consumers are buying less gifts and donating to charity less.  Retailers on the other hand are looking to move products with sales and promotions.  Marc Saltzman, tech columnist at USA Today and host of the Tech It Out Podcast, joins us with some apps and browser extensions for deal hunters, products to look out for, and scams to be wary of.   Next, the holiday season also means tons of cookies and baked goods.  In order to make all those delicious favorites, you need a lot of butter.  Butter in particular has been seeing some very high prices due to labor shortages and a growing appetite for cheese.  In response an underground network of butter bargain hunters is sharing the news when prices drop and tips on how to get around per-person limits.  Some have even turned to churning out their own butter.  Clare Ansberry, Turning Points columnist at the WSJ, joins us for what to know.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, Laura Grattan, Managing Director at Crosspoint Capital, and Jeff Vogel, Head of the Software Strategy Group at EY-Parthenon, join Winna Brown to explore how PE firms can position themselves to win tech deals in today's highly competitive market. Contact Laura: lgrattan@crosspointcapital.com Contact Jeff: jeffrey.vogel@parthenon.ey.com According to the latest EY PE Pulse report, 2021 was the year of the tech deal: 30% of total capital deployed last year was allocated to technology companies. The technology sector, once just another industry vertical, now permeates every sector, claiming an ever-increasing share of deals as more companies differentiate themselves based on their technology regardless of the industry in which they sit or serve. Crosspoint Capital focuses on the cybersecurity, privacy and infrastructure software sectors. PE firms that choose a niche specialization in the tech sector can bring deep sector expertise that translates to value creation for their portfolio companies. In an increasingly competitive tech environment, PE firms that focus on a highly targeted category of assets can find themselves in a differentiated position. They are able to quickly discern where to spend time, recognize the opportunities and limitations of an asset, and identify patterns indicative of future success. Three characteristics of today's tech deal environment include: Increasing presence of and need for club deals Increasing speed at which deals are clearing Developing deal theses early

Intellectual property (IP) and data have been essential to the rapid growth of tech companies. IP, specifically the ability to use, protect, and monetize it, is a driving deal component in tech M&A. Thorough due diligence of the target's IP and its compliance with applicable data privacy/protection laws is crucial to manage the risks of tech deals. In this episode of TMT Talk, Raffaele Giarda, Andy Leck, and Adam Aft give their insights on the critical role of IP and data when it comes to tech M&A and on the relevant trends and issues that we may see in the future in this space. For more helpful insight on these and other tech M&A topics please read our short articles in Report 2 of TMT Looking Ahead 2022.

Welcome to The Morning News Podcast for Friday, November 27th. We begin with our weekly conversation with Mayor Naheed Nenshi. Lots to cover this week with the Mayor, including the newly released 2021 budget – and the announcement earlier this week that the City of Calgary has declared a “local state of emergency” in an effort to bring down COVID-19 case numbers. Next we hear the story of a Calgary Firefighter - and his personal battle with COVID-19. From how he contracted the virus – to his detailed description of the two weeks he spent at home, in excruciating pain. The “Black Friday” sales are plentiful – but are there really any ‘deals' out there? We catch up with tech-expert Marc Saltzman with some suggestions that will help you tackle your Christmas shopping list – and save some money along the way. And finally – it's our final installment of “Flashback Friday”… This week, we go back-in-time to the first decade of the “2000's”.  From music, to movies – and the events that shaped a decade – join us while we ‘Flashback'.

Tech expert Marc Saltzman joins the Morning News with some must-know shopping tips for new tech toys that won't break the bank this Black Friday.

What are the hottest deals in tech this holiday season? What should you avoid? Back for her annual visit to the basement, Bridget Carey from CNET shares the highs and the lows this year. There are LOTS of deals you'll want to avoid, and she'll name names. But don't worry, if you're thinking about televisions, computers, game consoles, kitchen gadgets, audio equipment, or security, we've got you covered! Worried about the financial tasks you need to accomplish before year-end? Maybe you should be. Today we'll also share a laundry list of important items you'll want to check off your list before the new decade begins in just over a month. Plus, we'll also share some advice about gift giving. Since we're diving into shopping season, how do you give a gift that won't be returned? After a little dose of Doug's trivia, we'll wind up the show by throwing out the Haven Life line, as always. It's just another fantastic, money-saving episode of Stacking Benjamins on tap! Enjoy.

We have more updates on the Woolsey and Camp Fires as the missing person count doubles in Paradise, Justin Worsham joins us for some talk on different parenting styles across the globe, the funeral for Sgt. Ron Helus was held in Westlake Village today, Marc Saltzman tells us about the new-age flip phone, and What's Happening!

It's almost time to send the kids back to school, and that means you'll want to check out our Back to School buying guide ... but before that, there are a few tech and gaming deals you may want to peep for yourself. With some help from our friends at TechBargains, we've compiled our favorite deals for the weekend. Samsung's Galaxy Note 9 is Available for Preorder We gave the new Samsung Galaxy Note 9 an 8/10 and our coveted WIRED Recommends award.

We're starting to get close to July 4th, which makes it an oddly fruitful weekend for tech deals. There are still a few E3 Game and Console Deals going on, and Best Buy's Massive Apple Sale is still happening. Microsoft has already tried to get a head start on competitors with an early Microsoft Store Independence Day Sale, with discounts on Surfaces, Xboxes, and other Microsoft products.

Ready for the summer? We are! Whether you have road trips, camping, or other outdoor activities coming up, it's a great idea to bring a computer or tablet with you. Throw your itinerary in a doc, use it for editing photos on the go, and post your latest brilliant missive to your blog once you get to the hotel. We have discounts on a Lenovo notebook and an awesome Apple iPad that are worth looking at. But, then again, maybe you're more of an indoor person.

If you're in the mood for shopping, this is a great, great week. Especially if you're awaiting a juicy tax refund, why not treat yourself to something you probably need? Nintendo's Labo kits come out this Friday and are currently available for pre-order. You can learn more about the kits, which we love, and how to order them, here Our friends at TechBargains have also found our favorite robot vacuum, the iRobot Roomba 690, on sale. Read on for more great tech deals.

Who woulda thunk it? Even though we've just survived another Friday the 13th, the bad luck hasn't impacted the number of tech deals. There's still a huge sale on Amazon devices like the Kindle and Fire tablets. That sale ends April 16, but we also put up some tech deals earlier this week that are still relevant. Check out TechBargains for more great deals.

If we keep talking about it, that's because we're excited: This week, the HTC Vive Pro headset is out! For a cool $800, you too can roam around an enormous VR display that is a mindboggling 10 x 10 meters wide, enjoying your integrated headphones, clearer display, and sweet, sweet wireless-ness. However, we'd be remiss not to mention that you will also need to shell out a couple hundred bucks for a few base stations and controllers.

March is in like a lion, out like a lamb. But there's nothing like great prices on desktops, smart locks, and Segways to help you keep dreaming of sunnier times. With the help of our friends at TechBargains, we've pulled together some of the best deals from around the web to chase off the very last dregs of the winter doldrums. Dell's Inspiron 3650 desktops are a popular pick, and for good reason. With code INS599, you can pay $599, over $600 off the original list price of $1212.

March is the perfect time to start your spring cleaning. Along with throwing open the windows, vacuuming the floors, and replacing your grody furniture, you might also want to think about updating your home's ancient networking hardware. With so many smart devices proliferating on the market, it's more important than ever to keep your home Wi-Fi secure and your connection reliable.

March Madness doesn't just mean basketball (OK, maybe it does). March means it's spring! The snow and mush are thawing, the sun is shining, and it's time to get on the road or get in the air. Whether you're going on vacation, or just daydreaming about it, we consulted with our pals at TechBargains to pull together some of the best deals on the web. We love drones, and DJI's Mavic Pro is one of our favorites.

Most of the President's Day Tech Deals have come and gone (though not all of them), but there are still a few impressive deals this week. With a little help from our friends at TechBargains, we've collected some fun gaming, home, and mobile deals for you to browse. Coway HEPA Air Purifier for $176 ($54 off): This Coway Mighty True HEPA Air Purifier has an Ionizer and Eco Mode. The reviews are solid and the discount is decent if you're in the mood for some fresh air.

February is the cruelest month, as the poem goes. Oh, no, wait. That's April. February is a great month to be born in if you want to become famous, but the rest of us might find the cold, gray days to be a bit of a bummer. In sum, this is a great time of year to curl up with a hot cocoa in front of a new smart TV. We've rounded up the best weekend deals with the help of our friends at TechBargains. Dell's 10 percent off deals are still going strong.

We're a month into the new year, so why are you still using that busted-up old laptop or game console? Valentine's Day is around the corner so it's a perfect time to treat yourself or someone you love to some new tech. Thanks to our friends at TechBargains, we have a handful of solid deals on computers, Xbox Ones, and even the iPad Pro. When we reviewed the Xbox One X last year, we were impressed with its compact footprint and graphics performance.

New Tech Deals

Wondering where you'll score the hottest deals in tech this holiday season? Bridget Caret, Senior Editor at CNET joins us in the basement to share news on drones, televisions, game systems, home speakers, lights, wearables, and more. She'll not only share the BEST holiday items, but also help you navigate away from a few hot devices that might not end up being the big savings you're hoping to score at the store this Black Friday. Plus, in our headlines segment, we discuss news about a politician who's lying about his net worth. Why is this important? Why would someone lie about how much money they have? What does it have to do with YOUR money? We'll share. Also, we'll reveal which retailer this holiday season is selling WAY over the top merchandise. Need a gift for the person who has everything AND want to spend WAY too much money on it? We've got you covered. We'll of course have more from the world of financial planning, throw out the Haven Life line to lucky listener Kate, who wonders what to do with some company stock, score with some of Doug's delightful trivia, and more. Huge thanks to Roofstock (check out their massive real estate database AND their SPECIAL DEAL through 12/31) and MagnifyMoney.com (when you're comparing financial tools like credit cards and savings accounts) for helping us with today's show. They're awesome companies and if you're not using them, I'm not sure you know what you're missing!
