Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#60 Impact of U.S. Trade Policy on Investment in Canada
Q: Steve, what assumption should I make at the outset? What were some of the practical guidances I should have?
Investors should engage early with Canadian regulators, discuss how the investment will be structured, and outline how any sensitive or security issues will be addressed; this dialogue helps build confidence and can guide a path forward rather than risking outright rejection.
#59 Mergernomics: Killer Acquisitions
Q: What are your key takeaways here for practitioners?
Five must-dos emerge: first, investigate why the acquirer needs the target; second, assess why efficiencies cannot be achieved absent the merger; third, model the counterfactual with realistic probabilities; fourth, determine whether the target is a unique threat; and fifth, map findings onto the DEO framework to assess whether synergies explain the deal rather than the removal of competition.
#59 Mergernomics: Killer Acquisitions
Q: Ethel, can I ask you something about the evaluation? Do you think it makes a difference to enforcers whether it's predominantly cash versus stock that is being used for the acquisition?
The emphasis is on the actual deal valuation—what is being paid for and how that compares to the target's value, with stock vs cash being a secondary consideration unless it affects the perceived value or incentives around the merger.
#56 The Resurgence of Private Antitrust Litigation in the Asia Pacific
Q: What has been historically the role of private antitrust litigation in your country?
Private litigation did not play a significant role, particularly due to a high burden of proof for plaintiffs.
#55 Foreign Investment in the EU
Q: Christine, are these issues that your companies and investors don't need to worry about until 2028 when the final regulations go into effect?
Companies should be aware that some jurisdictions might begin revising their regimes before 2028, especially those waiting for the final text. It depends on the specific jurisdiction and their readiness.
