...For the exclusive use of D. Xiang, 2015. 9-200-044 REV: JANUARY 15, 2002 LISA MEULBROEK Kmart Inc. and Builders Square Introduction In July 1997, Kmart appeared to be nearing a year-long effort to sell its faltering Do-It-Yourself (DIY) home improvement chain, Builders Square. Leonard Green & Partners, a Los Angeles-based retail buyout firm, had proposed to buy Builders Square (BSQ) and merge it with Hechinger’s, a Washington, D.C.-based DIY chain that had been a pioneer in the retail home improvement industry. The newly-formed Builders Square-Hechinger combination would create the nation’s third largest DIY retailer, and seemed to be one of the few options left to Kmart. Kmart’s CEO, Floyd Hall, had a difficult decision to make: should he move forward with Green’s offer of $10 million for Builders Square, or should he continue the search in hopes of receiving a higher offer? Green’s offer seemed surprisingly low, even given Builders Square’s recent sub-par performance, yet bidders for Builders Square had been slow to materialize. Indeed, Kmart’s recent talks concerning a joint venture with Waban Co.’s HomeBase centers ended when Waban’s management withdrew without explanation. As the decision neared, Kmart’s options seemed limited and time was short. Kmart and its Entry into Specialty Retailing Kmart Corporation, one of the world’s largest mass merchandise retailers, began as the S.S. Kresge Company in 1912 and by the 1950s it was one of the largest...

...CHAPTER 16 Securitizations Introduction In October 1990, one year after the Resolution Trust Corporation (RTC) was created, a securitization program was established to facilitate the sale of mortgage loans. This chapter focuses on the creation, development, and performance of this program. Overview Mortgage loans were the largest single category of assets in the RTC’s inventory. In August 1990, the total volume of those loans held in RTC-controlled institutions was estimated to be more than $34 billion. The size of this portfolio led the RTC to explore the concept of securitization as a method for broadening the potential range of mortgage loan purchasers because the market for mortgage-backed securities was large and well developed. Securitization is the process by which assets with generally predictable cash flows and similar features are packaged into interest-bearing securities with marketable investment characteristics. Securitized assets have been created using diverse types of collateral, including home mortgages, commercial mortgages, mobile home loans, leases, and installment contracts on personal property. The most common securitized product is the mortgage-backed security (MBS). The following types of mortgage loans are most suitable for securitization. 406 M A N A GI N G T H E C R I S I S Conforming Residential Loans Conforming residential loans are single-family, performing (one-to-four family) mortgage loans that conform to Federal National Mortgage...

...CHAPTER ONE Introduction 1 1.1 INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION TO NESTLÉ S.A. Nestlé began in Switzerland in the mid 1860s when founder Henri Nestlé created one of the first baby formulas. Henri realized the need for a healthy and economical product to serve as an alternative for mothers who could not breastfeed their babies. Mothers who were unable to breastfeed often lost their infants to malnutrition. Henri’s product was a carefully formulated mixture of cow’s milk, flour and sugar. Nestlé’s first product was called Farine Lactée (“cornflour gruel” in French) Henri Nestlé. The product was first used on a premature baby who could not tolerate his mother’s milk or other alternative products of that time. Doctors gave up on treating the infant. Miraculously the baby tolerated Henri’s new formula and it provided the nourishment that saved his life. Within a few years the first Nestlé product was marketed in Europe. In 1874, Jules Monnerat purchased the Nestlé Company. Nestlé developed its own condensed milk to contend with its competitor, the Anglo-Swiss Condensed Milk Company. The Anglo-Swiss Condensed Milk Company made products like cheese and instant formulas. The two companies merged in 1905, the year after Nestlé added chocolate to its line of foods. The newly formed Nestlé and Anglo-Swiss Milk Company had factories in the United States, Britain, Spain and Germany. Soon the company was full-scale manufacturing in Australia with warehouses in Singapore, Hong Kong and...
