*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.
What would be really funny would be talking about the Mizuho-GHL merger itself lulz. Love the irony of GHL a former titan of $bn+ M&A advisory using Houlihan Lokey the middle-market studs as financial advisors on their own sale.
Very standard for transformational deals to use external advisors. The UBS-CS merger was not done by UBS itself, despite them being the n1 Swiss IB and top 5 EMEA FIG player. It’s pretty much to cover yourself if the transaction goes south.
Self bump
Lol I hate these interview questions
I would look at the recent transactions section on the website
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.
Bumping for visibility - good luck dude
any update on NY M&A process?
