      <title>Why Cadbury hates Kraft</title>

&#xD;
Cadbury plc (NYSE:CBY) executives and British government officials have repeatedly slammed Kraft Foods Inc.'s (NYSE:KFT) $16.3 billion hostile bid for the U.K. confectioner. Most recently the British Secretary warned Kraft (The Deal Pipeline subscription required) against trying to "make a fast buck." But John Briggs, co-chair of the antitrust practice group at Axinn, Veltrop and Harkrider LLP, says the backlash against Kraft may be as much about culture as it is about price. - Suzanne Stevens&lt;p&gt; By &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.viddler.com/explore/thedealvideo/&quot; &gt;thedealvideo&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

&#xD;
CIT Group's bankruptcy left many wondering about its impact on middle market lending. James Epstein, a partner with Pepper Hamilton LLP, says fallout was minimal for two reasons: The filing came just as the credit markets began to thaw, and there were plenty of lenders ready to step into the breach.&lt;p&gt; By &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.viddler.com/explore/thedealvideo/&quot; &gt;thedealvideo&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

&#xD;
Loeb &amp; Loeb LLP's Mitchel Nussbaum says there are pros and cons to the new Chinese Nasdaq-type stock exchange, ChiNext, that launched earlier this month and is the topic of Matt Miller's cover story for The Deal Magazine The kids are all right. Nussbaum says the new market gives private equity firms and investors another exit, but there is some uncertainty revolving around the regulation of the market.

      <title>Dollar General, Rue21 today. Toys 'R' Us next?</title>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.viddler.com/explore/thedealvideo/videos/332/&quot; title=&quot;Dollar General, Rue21 today.

Toys 'R' Us next?&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&#xD;
Toys "R" Us Inc. may be one of the next private equity-backed retailers to sport an initial public offering, says retail consultant Howard Davidowitz, founder of Davidowitz &amp; Associates. The toy store chain would follow on the heels of successful public debuts Friday of discount retailer Dollar General Corp. (NYSE:DG), backed by Kohlberg Kravis Roberts &amp; Co., and teen apparel retailer Rue21 Inc. (NASDAQ:RUE), backed by Apax Partners Worldwide LLP. Last month, Vitamin Shoppe Inc. (NYSE:VSI), backed by Irvingplace Capital Management LP and Blackstone Group LP (NYSE:BX), became the first U.S. retailer to go public in two years. Also in October, Dollarama Inc., backed by Bain Capital LLC, debuted on the Toronto Stock Exchange. Private equity firms in general and  KKR in particular are expected to take more of their portfolio companies public soon. The Deal spoke with Davidowitz Friday on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange as part of our ongoing video series about IPOs.

Victor Boyajian, the partner who heads up the venture capital group of New York law firm Sonnenschein Nath &amp; Rosenthal LLP, outlines what it will take for the IPO market to open up for VC-backed companies in this episode of our series on initial public offerings, shot on location at the New York Stock Exchange. Only 10 venture-backed companies have braved a public debut this year. Boyajian says companies must weigh coming out against shortening their runway in an era of less available capital from venture capital and private equity sources.

      <title>Debevoise's Richard Hahn on 363 sales</title>
      <link>http://www.viddler.com/explore/thedealvideo/videos/291/</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.viddler.com/explore/thedealvideo/videos/291/&quot; title=&quot;Debevoise's Richard Hahn on 363 sales&quot; &gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://cdn-thumbs.viddler.com/thumbnail_1_b299a9f8_v1.jpg&quot; width=&quot;114&quot; height=&quot;86&quot; alt=&quot;Debevoise's Richard Hahn on 363 sales&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&#xD;
The number of 363 sales of assets in bankruptcy cases has increased as the economy collapsed. That's not a surprise. In an illiquid market, struggling debtors have fewer options to raise capital. But Richard Hahn, who co-chairs the bankruptcy and restructuring group at Debevoise &amp; Plimpton LLP, says there's a second factor driving the trend. In this edition of Inside the Deal, Hahn says 363 sales have become a preferred tactic for loan-to-own investors because of the speed and efficiency with which they can be completed.&lt;p&gt; By &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.viddler.com/explore/thedealvideo/&quot; &gt;thedealvideo&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.viddler.com/explore/thedealvideo/videos/216/&quot; title=&quot;Kay Scholer's Cherney on PE investments in portfolio debt&quot; &gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://cdn-thumbs.viddler.com/thumbnail_1_eec662fe.jpg&quot; width=&quot;114&quot; height=&quot;86&quot; alt=&quot;Kay Scholer's Cherney on PE investments in portfolio debt&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&#xD;
Private equity players are increasingly identifying investment opportunities in senior bank debt within their own portfolio companies and are choosing to invest in them as opposed to new companies, explains Emanuel Cherney, a partner at Kay Scholer LLP and a recent columnist for The Deal Magazine. In this episode of Inside The Deal, Cherney tells The Deal's Mary Kathleen Flynn the reason for this is that many portfolio companies are trading at deep discounts and sponsors are finding that it is hard to buy companies in new deals due to the state of the market.&lt;p&gt; By &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.viddler.com/explore/thedealvideo/&quot; &gt;thedealvideo&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

&#xD;
Layoffs at big law firms are coming almost as fast as those on Wall Street. John Briggs, who recently left Howrey LLP to build the D.C. antitrust practice of boutique firm Axinn, Veltrop and Harkrider LLP, characterizes the environment as "bloody." In this edition of Inside The Deal, Briggs tells Suzanne Stevens that declining demand and pressure from clients to reduce costs have put the squeeze on big law firms&lt;p&gt; By &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.viddler.com/explore/thedealvideo/&quot; &gt;thedealvideo&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

The effects of credit default swaps are starting to come out into the open.

Investors that pull out of deals are looking at several factors including the underlying economics, reputational risk and nowadays survival.

      <title>Inside The Deal: Cravath's Jim Woolery on private bear hug hostiles</title>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.viddler.com/explore/thedealvideo/videos/159/&quot; title=&quot;Inside The Deal: Cravath's Jim Woolery on private bear hug hostiles&quot; &gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://cdn-thumbs.viddler.com/thumbnail_1_98e6648d.jpg&quot; width=&quot;114&quot; height=&quot;86&quot; alt=&quot;Inside The Deal: Cravath's Jim Woolery on private bear hug hostiles&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&#xD;
All-time low valuations and fewer defenses against unsolicited bids will lead to more hostile deals in 2009. But according to Jim Woolery, a partner with Cravath, Swaine &amp; Moore LLP, much of that activity will take place outside of the public arena. In this edition of Inside The Deal, Woolery tells Suzanne Stevens that an uptick in stock deals will result in more private bear hug hostile transactions, in which a seller is approached privately with an unsolicited offer designed to force the target to engage.

&#xD;
At the Deal's M&amp;A Outlook 2009 conference, panelists Paul Beecy, tax partner at Grant Thornton LLP, Nick Rees, co-managing partner corporate and M&amp;A group of Linklaters LLP, and Steve Baronoff, managing director and head of global M&amp;A at Merrill Lynch &amp; Co., spoke about cross-border dealmaking.

In this video Beecy explains that dealmaking at the moment is very sparse and strategic, while Baronoff believes there will be a pause in dealmaking that will last until the second quarter of 2009. "Uncertainty is very dramatic in this period of time and even more dramatic in cross-border situations," he said.&lt;p&gt; By &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.viddler.com/explore/thedealvideo/&quot; &gt;thedealvideo&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

&#xD;
While overall deal volume may have fallen of a cliff, transactions are getting done. In this edition of Inside the Deal, Dominick DeChiara, chair of the private equity practice at Nixon Peabody LLP, says some PE firms are using alternative deal structures in the absence of credit. He tells The Deal's Suzanne Stevens that he's seen an increase in the use of seller
notes, earnouts and rollover percentages.&lt;p&gt; By &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.viddler.com/explore/thedealvideo/&quot; &gt;thedealvideo&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

      <title>Inside The Deal: Axinn's Keeley on antitrust lawsuits and President-elect Obama</title>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.viddler.com/explore/thedealvideo/videos/109/&quot; title=&quot;Inside The Deal: Axinn's Keeley on antitrust lawsuits and President-elect Obama&quot; &gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://cdn-thumbs.viddler.com/thumbnail_1_82861d64.jpg&quot; width=&quot;114&quot; height=&quot;86&quot; alt=&quot;Inside The Deal: Axinn's Keeley on antitrust lawsuits and President-elect Obama&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&#xD;
Expect more antitrust lawsuits as the economy seeks bottom. So says Michael L. Keeley, a partner in the antitrust group of Axinn, Veltrop &amp; Harkrider LLP. In this edition of Inside The Deal, Keeley tells Suzanne Stevens that two factors are in play: the likelihood of companies in a recession to more aggressively protect their turf, and an increased willingness among struggling companies to dedicate resources to litigation. Keeley, who also addressed the topic in a recent issue of The Deal newsweekly, says the number of antitrust lawsuits already filed this year exceeds those filed in all of 2007. Add that to President-elect Obama's stated intention to more actively pursue monopolistic conduct, and the courts should see plenty of antitrust activity in 2009.&lt;p&gt; By &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.viddler.com/explore/thedealvideo/&quot; &gt;thedealvideo&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

      <title>Inside the Deal: Paul Hastings' John Douglas on Obama, PE and failing banks</title>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.viddler.com/explore/thedealvideo/videos/93/&quot; title=&quot;Inside the Deal: Paul Hastings' John Douglas on Obama, PE and failing banks&quot; &gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://cdn-thumbs.viddler.com/thumbnail_1_e686b567.jpg&quot; width=&quot;114&quot; height=&quot;86&quot; alt=&quot;Inside the Deal: Paul Hastings' John Douglas on Obama, PE and failing banks&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&#xD;
The Federal Reserve's recent action to encourage private equity investment in banks was a helpful step, but it didn't go far enough. That's according to John Douglas, who chairs the banking and financial institutions group at Paul, Hastings, Janofsky &amp; Walker LLP. In this edition of Inside The Deal, Douglas tells Suzanne Stevens that the Fed needs to set forth the basis with which PE firms can take a controlling interest in banks. Douglas, who addressed the topic in an article for The Deal newsweekly, says the Fed is working on the issue, but it's been very slow in coming. In the meantime, there's a healthy appetite among PE firms to invest in struggling banks.&lt;p&gt; By &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.viddler.com/explore/thedealvideo/&quot; &gt;thedealvideo&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
