First Look

Good evening,

Christmas came early for M&A pundits - and particularly those involved in Origin Energy’s $18.4 billion bid.

Brookfield and American private equity firm EIG Partners are due to start due diligence on Monday morning, and could well have a whopper deal signed by Christmas.

While there’s plenty of work to be done by Origin, the bidders and all the bankers and lawyers involved, Street Talk took a look at how the deal got this far.

What we found was a couple of spurned suitors who came together to take on one of Australia’s biggest companies for Project Eos.

Elsewhere, we have our hands on BoA’s pitch for Vision Network and look at Kiland’s raising for Nobrac.

Happy reading,

Anthony Macdonald, Sarah Thompson and Kanika Sood
