*URGENT* Why Greenhill?

I'm going for SA26 and have little relevant finance experience (CS major) but through a very distant connection I'll be speaking with VP in GHL M&A next week. I know they get a lot of shit on this site, but this may be my only shot.

So far my thought process is (i) Excited about Mizuho transaction and new ability to provide financing to clients (ii) Significance as one of the first boutiques (iii) lean deal teams (iv) interest in working with more strategics as opposed to sponsors

What i am struggling the most with is finding a recent deal between two publics (please name)? And anything else that is GHL specific and shows I did my homework? Please help me change my life.

I put on some screeners and found this deal in O&G: https://ir.oneok.com/news-and-events/press-releases/2024/08-29-2024-023…;

also this one that fell through: https://www.tegna.com/tegna-to-be-acquired-by-standard-general-for-24-0…

From what I know the seller being public is what's gonna get the deal handed off to the M&A team. But tbh asking questions about a GHL-specific public transaction comes off a little hardo... not sure it's a great idea.

Edit: link doesn't click through for the first deal, try deleting the & and everything after it in the url when it clicks through.

 

OP here. I ended up finding a good recent deal. Is there anything else you think would be good to bring up outside of what I mentioned above? I'd really appreciate it.
