...Financial Institutions Hong Kong Disneyland Finance Ron Shell Jiang Jiang Zhaojie Wang On August 10th 1999, Disney awarded the sole mandate to Chase Manhattan Bank for the Hong Kong Disneyland financing of HK $3.3 Billion. We believe this decision was beneficial for both parties. For Chase, the rewards included underwriting fee, interest payments, being a part of a big loan-financing project in Asia and developing networks and relationships with Asian governments and companies. This outweighed the risks of underwriting risk, credit risk and long-term collateral risk. In addition, we believe it was the correct decision to initially bid to lose and then change this approach once there was concrete support from the HK government. From Disney’s perspective, despite Chase’s standard commitment letter leaving them slightly vulnerable, choosing Chase as sole mandate made the most sense. Due to the unique nature of the loan (extreme long term, Disney’s desire to use operating cash flow for expansion and the principal collateral being non-existent for first 2 years), it made sense for Disney to choose a company that has a strong relationship with and one that was extremely flexible on the structuring of the loan. Finally, we believe the most suitable syndication strategy is to be Chase as the sole mandate with a two-stage syndication process and sub-underwriting (exhibit 8a) Chase Manhattan Bank made a smart initial decision by attempting to bid to lose. This strategy was ideal because...

...Case Study: Chase’s Strategy for Syndicating the Hong Kong Disneyland Loan (A) Q1. How should Chase have bid in the first round competition to lead the HK$3.3 billion Disneyland financing? 1.Three ways to approach this deal 1) bid to win, 2) bid to lose and3) no bid. Chase chose to bid to lose on the first round, but just enough to make it to the short list. Also, since Chase is one of Disney's relationship banks, Chase would not want to ruin this relationship by not bidding on their project. If Chase wanted to lead the competition from the first round, they should have made a bid that was more aggressive and aimed to win. This bid would have been closer to the desires of Disney, making them more appealing and increasing their probabilities of leading the financing. However, they chose to bid to lose, with just enough terms to get into the second round to "protect their reputation", but not to lead. The deal started to become more attractive with the possibility of Disney awarding a sole lead arranger mandate and with the increased potential for a successful syndication. At this point, after Chase made it through the first round, they decided on a more aggressive final proposal where they would be very close to meeting most of Disney’s demands in order to win the deal. 2. Standard Commitment Letter The standard commitment letter established by Chase for the Disneyland project would have the following terms: 1. HK$300 million loan. 2. 15-year maturity...

...Amanda Preston Tracy Tenson Comp 105 February 10, 2014 The Chase At a first look Annie Dillard’s, “The Chase” is an ordinary tale of children being children. It tells an incident from Dillard’s childhood when she was chased by a man after hitting his car with a snowball. Dillard’s purpose is to convey that even though it is fast paced, the exciting moments in life can be remembered ages after.

These strategies toughened her up both physically and mentally. Dillard says all or nothing, to signify the skills required to play football. She continues to use diction such as wholeheartedly, body and soul, fearlessly, fate, to stress the seriousness of her actions. Dillard’s use of vivid details allows her to illustrate the sport in her mind. She says you would get kicked in the face while the kid got away, which makes the readers think of such pain. Dillard continues to give the reader imagery and details. She describes the setting with the six inches of snow. The author continues to describe her friends- the Fahey brothers, Chickie McBride, Billy Paul, and Mackie Kean are described as dark and furious, grew up skinny, knowing and skilled. These descriptions allow the reader to identify and imagine the characters. Also, Dillard describes the setting using descriptions. “The tracks left by the...

The examination of two companies that may benefit from the utilization of the Chase strategy will take place. Challenges a company may face implementing the Chase strategy within their organization is researched. Advantages and disadvantages of the Chase strategy are identified. Whether intentionally or unintentionally all companies depend on a form of demand generation strategy. The Chase strategy is best recognized when production meets demand from one period to the next. The strategy is most effective when demand is unpredictable and there is no inventory. According to "Chase Strategy Basics: A Lead Generation How-To" (2014), "The basic principle of the Chase Strategy is to identify the market you want to target with your marketing, and create a profile of potential buyers” (Chase Strategy Basics). Companies create a database of potential customers, and then take steps to get leads and turn leads to sales. The chase strategy concentrates selectively targeted accounts. The chase strategy is not for every business. As with all tactics, there are pros and cons with the Chase strategy. Some advantages when applying the Chase strategy are aggregating planning; inventory is allowed...

...autobiographies about an experience when both writers were being chased.Both writers include cultural influences on the setting to make it more clear what life was reallylike for them in their autobiographies. They also both dramatize the chase to make the story moreexciting. Yet, the two writers differ in what cultural setting their autobiographies are in and whatstyle they use to dramatize the chase.While these two autobiographies are rooted in culture, they both differ in what exactcultures the autobiographies nestle in. Rodriguez writes about life in a prominently poor Mexicanneighborhood. He describes many of its various aspects such as the “people … on the metalchairs … and beer” (paragraph 1), the “stucco and wood-frame homes” (paragraph 2), and the“neighborhood consisting mostly of Mexicans” (Paragraph 2). This poverty enriched land is sucha clash when viewed against the presumably middle class white community that Dillarddescribes. Her description of the suburbs in Pittsburgh seem less poverty stricken such as withthem leaving from houses (paragraph 4) and the clothes that the man that chases them wears(paragraph 10).

Alexander Hamilton started Bank of New York in 1784. The Mannhattan Company received its charter in an unusual way, through Burrs’ political connections in New York. Being a former congress man and vice president as well as other prominent positions, he sponsored abill through the New York assembly that established the water company which in turn allowed the creation of a bank. A clause in the bill allowed the company to invest surplus capital in any lawful enterprise. The Bank of Mannhattan started paying dividends in June 1800. The water carrier/bank was off and running.

...The Logic of JPMorgan Chase Whale Trades The main purpose of this report is to expose the findings and misconduct of disclosing important information of the JPMorgan Chase Whale Trades. This report explicitly details the negligence by the Chief Investment Office in misleading the Office of the Comptroller of Currency of their Synthetic Credit Portfolio. The author’s intention is to inform what went wrong with the trading in the derivatives market by JPMorgan Chase. The key question the author is addressing is why the CIO deviated from their standard midpoint markings to later assigning more favorable prices. Also, the author is addressing why the OCC was unaware of the losses and the risk associated with the SCP. The most important information in this article is the deceptive actions committed by the CIO in the London Whale Trades. It became apparent that senior managers downplayed the problems of the SCP and kept describing the portfolio as a risk-reducing hedge, when in actuality it was a massive portfolio losing billions of dollars and had stopped providing credit loss protection to the bank. The whale trades shows how financial institutions engage in high risk trading activities with federally insure deposits and attempted to divert attention from these synthetic derivatives. The main conclusion s in this article is a combination of poorly executed hedging decisions by the CIO of JPMorgan Chase in their SCP. The CIO failed to alert its regulators of their actions...

...Marketing The slogan "More saving. More doing." was introduced by The Home Depot in the March 18, 2009 circular, replacing "You can do it. We can help." which had been used since 2003. Other slogans used in the past 25 years include "The Home Depot, Low prices are just the beginning" in the early 1990s and "When you're at the Home Depot, You'll feel right at home" in the late 1990s and "The Home Depot: First In Home Improvement!" from 1999-2003 RISK FACTORS BEHIND CORPORATE FAILURE 1 LACK OF BOARD EFFECTIVENESS Ineffective boards suffered from limitations on skills and competence, as well as on the nonexecutive directors’ (NED) ability to monitor and control senior executives effectively. For instance, the board director who was responsible for refining at BP at the time of the Texas City refinery explosion had no refining experience. Independent Insurance’s NEDs did not have insurance industry expertise. 2 BOARDS' RISK BLINDNESS This is characterised by a board’s failure to engage with important risks, such as risks to reputation and “licence to operate”, to the same degree that they engage with reward and opportunity. For example, Railtrack’s licence to operate depended on the UK government, but the company outsourced track maintenance, despite the fact that this was one of its core responsibilities to its customers. 3 POOR LEADERSHIP ON ETHOS AND CULTURE Double standards were perceived in cases such as Maclaren’s dealing with its US and UK push-chair (baby stroller)...

...April 7, 2013 Jamie Dimon, Chief Executive Officer JPMorgan Chase 270 Park Avenue New York, NY 10017 Dear Mr. Dimon, You’re Fired! Hiring the wrong person costs the company time and money, firing them just adds to that cost. Finding the right person to fill a position is not always easy. Think about it this way: the time, money and countless hours your company spends on hiring employees only to find they were not the right fit for your company. Has your company given a seemingly motivated individual a chance, only to have it backfire? Did you ever put in a good word to hire someone and end up with regret? If this sounds familiar, you are not alone. It is not uncommon to meet an applicant and walk away with a good “false” impression. But no need to worry! Support is just a call away! Highly qualified applicants at your fingertips! As a Fortune 500 Company, JPMorgan Chase understands the need to find highly qualified, dependable applicants quickly. Kelly Services can be of great value when fulfilling your new hire needs at any given moment. One of the short-term goals JPMorgan Chase revealed in its 2011 annual review is to open 2,000 branches nationwide within the next 5 years; this is where Kelly Services can help. Finding highly qualified applicants is overwhelming, time consuming and costs money. Why not let Kelly Services focus on finding the talent you need while you focus on other workforce issues, dilemmas, and day to day business duties. As...

...panic and decide to avoid the police lights and speed off. This is the making of a dangerous high speed chase, if the driver decides not to stop. When this happens, the officer is going to begin the chase, because he does not know whether the driver has committed some terrible crime, like robbery or, if he is a dangerous drug dealer, or perhaps a wanted sex offender. You never know when a high speed pursuit will start. They can sometimes start in a local area and continue into another jurisdiction. Although these chases are dangerous, neither the driver nor the police know what might be ahead of them. Although police chases are dangerous, police who allows suspects to flee run the risk that offenders will do even greater harm to citizens, says Michael Crivello, president of the Milwaukee Police Association and a city police detective. “They’re fleeing because they may be wanted for sexual assaults, shootings, homicides,” he says. “there are pursuits that are successfully concluded all the time, but you never hear about those.” Milwaukee changed its policy on pursuits last month after four people were killed by drivers fleeing police in three separate incidents in a two-month period. Police there now must have probable cause that a violent felony has occurred instead of reasonable suspicion before initiating a chase. Who do you blame when such dangerous chases end up taking the lives of innocent bystanders. The driver, nor the police wouldn’t know, what effect...
