Renovata & Company Platform is pleased to announce our upcoming Private Equity Networking Breakfast in Mayfair, London, on November 19th.   This will be the second private equity event in our 2024 series and will focus on Rethinking Exit Readiness for 2025. As private capital markets continue to navigate a challenging landscape, and with over 40% of UK PE-backed portfolio companies owned for more than five years, financial sponsors must find new ways to deliver returns while managing risk. This exclusive gathering will explore strategies for optimising exits in the coming year.   We will welcome an expert panel including Gina O'Reilly, Co-founder of Laneway Ventures and former COO of Nitro, Daniel Fugmann, Managing Director at Arma Partners and Dominic Gallello, Managing Director at Bridgepoint. Join us to unpack a number of topics including: • How should approaches to value creation evolve in today's market? • Should funds adopt a more global or localised exit strategy amid geopolitical shifts? • What innovative solutions can principals and corporate financiers offer? • What does the October budget mean for 2025 PE exits? This invite-only event is designed for c-suite leaders, senior-level investors, operators, and advisors. If you’re interested in attending, please contact Julia Barber at julia.barber@renovataplatform.com to express your interest. #privateequity #investing #leadership #businessstrategy #networking

Regional Private Equity Funds in Southeast Asia are now looking to sell back their portfolio companies to the original family owners. These so-called "Promoter Buy-backs" are becoming increasingly more common as Funds reach their expiry life and investors seek the return of their locked-up capital. This is obviously not a good sign given the drying up of the IPO markets and the tepid M&A activity. Restaurants are one of the worst sectors feeling the pain. There is virtually no interest on the part of the regional PE's in this sector given that many have been burned in the past. I was recently surprised to read about PAG Capital's exit from Paradise Dynasty Group, a regional Chinese restaurant chain, through the sale back to the original family owners. I am sure that the tepid M&A and IPO markets played a large part in the decision. I worked on the original investment deal in 2016. Paradise Group was and still is a very well-operated business. This is just another indicator of the state of M&A in the region for food service overall, and full-service restaurants in particular. This could have been a good investment opportunity for a large USA or Japanese casual dining player if they were more open-minded and less risk-averse. https://lnkd.in/eNAuyQdf

#news: Real estate billionaire Barry Sternlicht has found the perfect partner for his latest SPAC deal: Himself. The investor wants to merge hotels owned by his firm Starwood Capital with a blank check company he also controls in a maneuver that business and legal experts say is prone to conflicts of interest concerns. Sternlicht will be hoping third time's a charm for him with SPACs. The two companies he previously took public via reverse merger, Cano Health and Velo3D, have lost billions in market value.

Guzman y Gomez Mexican Kitchen (GYG) is the biggest IPO of the year - especially now that the offer has been upscaled to $335m (thanks to an increased selldown by TDM). Whilst the brand is well known and liked and might mean some decent retail support, for us, the numbers don’t quite stack up.   GYG vs Domino's’s: Networks sales $760m vs $4bn; Stores 200 vs 4,000; NPAT $3m vs $120m; Market Cap $2.2bn vs $3.5bn. I spoke to Nadine Blayney at ausbiz about the positive sentiment the GYG float means to the market in light of some recent headwinds, particularly in the auto sector which is feeling the bite from interest rates. I also touched on education service provider ReadCloud and the outstanding progress it is making in the space. https://lnkd.in/gv522J9z
