00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 1: highest of the ex mention. That would be an indication

34
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 1: then that the labor market is getting tighter, that resource

Speaker 1: Thank you, Charlie from the Bloomberg News room. I'm Jill Schneider.

47
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 1: The New York Times is reporting that Senator Bernie Sanders

48
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 1: is expected to endorse Hillary Clinton on Tuesday. That is

49
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,959
Speaker 1: according to three party sources. FBI Director James Comey has

50
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:59,639
Speaker 1: been in the hot seat today answering questions about the

51
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 1: investigation into Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server

52
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 1: and why he recommended no charges be filed. Comey denies

53
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 1: there was any bias behind the decision. Are folks did

54
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 1: it in a political and professional way, including our recommendation

55
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 1: as to the appropriate resolution of this case. Comey says

56
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 1: he found no evidence that Clinton knew that anything she

57
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:23,080
Speaker 1: was doing was against the law. How Speaker Paul Ryan

58

Speaker 1: presidential nominee met with more than two hundred House Republicans

60
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 1: this morning. What I thought was especially helpful today was

61
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 1: our members just got access and got to ask questions

62
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 1: and and and and talk about their their issues. So

63
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 1: I thought it was very good meeting. Today's meeting was

64
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 1: Trump's first sit down with the full House Republican Conference.

65

00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 1: had a good exchange and that his colleagues were candid

68
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 1: with Trump about their concerns about his tone and style.

69
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 1: Food prices around the world rose in June by the

70
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 1: most in almost four years. The United Nations food price

71
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 1: and was up more than four The law firm representing

Speaker 1: examine personal items belonging to the Republican New Jersey governor,

83
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:46,040
Speaker 1: Bloomberg business flash. This is taking stock with Pim's box

00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 1: and Kathleen waves on Bloomberg Radio at ten billion dollar

85
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 1: deal for French yogurt maker done known. Will it be

86
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 1: worth it? As it purchases white Wave foods, helping it

87
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,920
Speaker 1: go from yogurt to products that maybe are a little

88
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 1: more popular in a world where many people are turning

89
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:09,799
Speaker 1: from dairy products towards soy milk, protein shakes and other

90
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:13,359
Speaker 1: kinds of foods. Joining us now as Nancy Haven's Hasty.

91
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 1: She's president and chief investment officer at Haven's Advisors here

92
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 1: in New York City. Nancy, welcome to the show. Thank you, Kathleen,

93
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 1: So this deal does it make sense? Were you surprised

94
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 1: to see you do you say, of course, Well, I

95
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 1: think UM white Wave has been a takeover target ever

96
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 1: since it was spun off from Dean Food, so it's

97
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 1: not totally surprising that this deal was announced for don Own,

98
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:47,479
Speaker 1: which has quite a large UM exposure to the dairy market.

99
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:54,280
Speaker 1: This plant based food company UM and organic food company

100
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 1: is a bit of a hedge to its business where

101
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:00,720
Speaker 1: people are moving away from dairy and towards plant based

102
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:06,360
Speaker 1: and organic foods. It's also UM the most rapidly growing

103
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 1: area of the food business, so for a lot of

104
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:14,280
Speaker 1: reasons it makes sense for then Own. Nancy, explain a

105
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:18,279
Speaker 1: little bit about Haven's advisors and your expertise when it

106
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:23,719
Speaker 1: comes to mergers and acquisitions. UM. Okay, we do merger

107
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:28,279
Speaker 1: arbitrage and we are an event based UM investment manager,

108
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 1: and I have been doing this for a little over

109
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 1: twenty years UM in this format and before that UM

110
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 1: we've been doing it elsewhere had other brokerage firms. So

111
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,799
Speaker 1: we explain to our listeners and an events based manager

112
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:47,239
Speaker 1: what exactly that means and how are you different from others? Well,

113
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 1: event may event based investment managing UH is basically investing

114
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:58,279
Speaker 1: in UH situations where there is a specific event that

115
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 1: will result in a change in value for a security.

116
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 1: You have to hop in before it happens, or is

117
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 1: it more hopping on board once it is then Yes,

118
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 1: this makes sense. I see a lot of value potential

119
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 1: gains from my clients. Okay, well we are basically murder

120
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 1: of tasers merger are people generally get in after the

121
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 1: announcement is made, after the announcement of a deal or

122
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 1: an event is made, but before it's consummated. Right, You're

123
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 1: not trying to sort of divine where the next acquisition

124
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 1: is going to be. But having said that, Nancy, you

125
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 1: mentioned an interesting point about the growing business for organic food.

126
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 1: In the White Wave acquired earth Bound Farms, that was

127
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 1: the that's America's largest grower of organic produce. Back in

128
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 1: the price tag there was six hundred million dollars. Do

129
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 1: you expect multiples for these kinds of food companies to

130
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 1: increase as a result of this deal? Um? I don't

131
00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 1: know that this deal is going to be done at

132
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 1: twenty four times trailing um uh ibada, twenty one times

133
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 1: uh two thousands sixteen ibada, and fourteen times two thousand

134
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 1: and sixteen after synergies. Those are all relatively healthy multiples,

135
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 1: but they're not outrageous, and multiples vary with the size

136
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 1: of the company. UM. A ten billion dollar company is

137
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 1: sort of a medium to large merger, and multiples tend

138
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 1: to tend to get lower as the deals get bigger,

139
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 1: whereas they get higher with smaller deals. So I think

140
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 1: UM I don't really anticipate that multiples will change in

141
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 1: this area, but it is unquestionably an attractive area in

142
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:51,200
Speaker 1: which to invest. Our Bloomer News story focuses on UM

143
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 1: down Own's chief Emmanuel Favor that it's his it's his

144
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 1: first big move. You know, he spent the first year

145
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 1: trying to revive sluggish sales and to know core European

146
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 1: dairy segment. As you assess a deal like this, how

147
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,319
Speaker 1: much weight do you put on White Wave in this

148
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 1: and the products and how they round out their portfolio?

149
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 1: How much do you put on management and a leader

150
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:16,680
Speaker 1: like him? Well, UM management is extremely crucial to getting

151
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 1: a deal like this done. UM always getting managements to

152
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 1: agree and be on the same page UM determines the

153
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 1: success or failure of a management. These companies certainly mentioned

154
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:33,960
Speaker 1: that their cultures were similar, that they were both trying

155
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 1: to achieve the same thing. They're both trying to achieve

156
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 1: healthy based eating UH in In France at Dono they

157
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 1: call it alimentation. Here's they call it food and drink UM.

158
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:50,439
Speaker 1: But they're both attempting to be in exactly the same

159
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 1: business and have similar corporate cultures. So I think that

160
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:59,440
Speaker 1: the prospects are probably pretty good for this merger. Nancy,

161
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 1: just a little bit more on the general market for

162
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:05,680
Speaker 1: mergers and acquisitions are do you expect to see many

163
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,600
Speaker 1: more blockbuster deals? Do you expect for example, this deal

164
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 1: Mandalise and the Hershey Company to Progress Mandels and her

165
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 1: She is really quite a different situation. As you know her.

166
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:20,080
Speaker 1: She has been did for in the past and has

167
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 1: never actually ended up getting acquired her. She has a

168
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 1: trust that UM controls the voting power of Hershey, and

169
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:34,440
Speaker 1: UM the state of Pennsylvania has something to do with

170
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:37,560
Speaker 1: that trust and control of that trust, and they have

171
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 1: more than once decided that the employment and the presence

172
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 1: of Hershey in the state of Pennsylvania was more important

173
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 1: than uh a higher premium for the trust shares. Thank

174
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:53,840
Speaker 1: you very much, Nancy Haven's Hasty the President, Chief Investment Officer.
