Canaccord Genuity’s management seeks to acquire firm in nearly $1.13-billion deal

Image
A group led by the management of Canaccord Genuity Group Inc CF-T said on Monday it would launch a takeover bid for the Canadian financial services company, valuing the firm at nearly $1.13-billion. The offer price of $11.25 per share marks a 31 per cent premium to the stock’s last close. In June, Canaccord’s largest shareholder had expressed concerns that the public markets were undervaluing the company, Canaccord said. After discussion with the company’s chief executive officer Daniel Daviau, the shareholder said it would support a go-private deal. https://www.tausiinsider.com/canaccord-genuitys-management-seeks-to-acquire-firm-in-nearly-1-13-billion-deal/?feed_id=325642&_unique_id=63f8ed3f2934a

Canaccord’s management seeks to buy investment bank in $1.13-billion deal

Image
One of Canada’s largest independent investment banks is potentially about to go private. The management team of Canaccord Genuity Inc. CF-T announced an all-cash takeover bid of $11.25 per share early Monday, valuing the financial services company at roughly $1.13-billion. New York-based HPS Investment Partners LLC, Canaccord’s largest individual shareholder, has agreed to provide up to $825-million in financing to support the deal. While the offer represents a nearly 42-per-cent premium to the most recent 20-day average price of Canaccord’s stock, it is also roughly 32 per cent below the company’s Nov 2021 value of $16.52 per share. “The public markets place a low value on the business, given its exposure to a cyclical capital markets environment,” the group behind the takeover bid said in a release. “That has been magnified by the tumultuous 2022 in the capital markets and which is expected to continue while the common shares remain publicly traded.” Collectively, the offeror group...

An Existentialist Guide to Feeling Nothing

Image
I recently watched “ the greatest film of all time ,” and the most boring one. In retrospect, the title alone should have been a sufficient warning: Jeanne Dielman, 23 Quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles . Alas, I’m old enough to be a bit nostalgic about massive telephone address books. And massive it is. Clocking over 200 minutes, Chantal Akerman's 1975 dreary drama follows three days in the monotonous routine of Jeanne, a widow, a mother, and a prostitute. I watched Jeanne’s autopilot existence, until, staring at her back as she washes dishes, I decided to fast-forward a couple of minutes, only to discover she was still at it. And Jeanne is equally thorough when she’s busy baking, cleaning, folding laundry, or shining her son’s shoes. She speaks so scarcely and mechanically, that it’s impossible to detect any emotion or volition beyond her carefully controlled chores . Watching Jeanne Dielman is what the word “painstaking” was invented for. Chantal...

What Are SQL Stored Procedures and How Do You Create Them?

Image
Stored procedures: like functions for your SQL. A stored procedure is a batch of SQL statements created and stored on a database. You can reuse a stored procedure over and over again. A stored procedure can accept parameters, run a query, and return results. Many users can call a stored procedure and different applications can call it with different parameter values. What Are the Benefits of Using Stored Procedures? Apart from allowing multiple users and applications to reuse it, a stored procedure has other benefits. It is easy to modify. You can change a stored procedure when necessary and these updates will be reflected for all users. Furthermore, you don’t need to redeploy your application when you modify the stored procedure. It reduces network traffic because the server only passes the procedure’s name over the network and not the entire query. It improves database security since users don’t have direct access to tables. To make...
