Private equity firms Blackstone and TPG circle troubled Paragon
- 2008-07-23
PARAGON Group of Companies has become the focus of a potential private-equity bidding war with Blackstone leading the pack, while TPG, which pulled its proposed investment in Bradford & Bingley (B&B) last month, is also understood to have taken an interest. The beleaguered buy-to-let-mortgage supplier Paragon revealed yesterday...
Texas Pacific proves a man of straw as magnificent four ride to the
- 2008-07-05
Outlook Believe it or not, there are some positives to be drawn from the debacle that is Bradford & Bingley. One is that despite the lily- livered behaviour of Texas Pacific Group, an alternative recapitalisation on almost exactly the same terms has been quickly put in place in...
Kent digs in but it's mud in the eye for Bradford & Bingley's
- 2008-06-29
Rod Kent, pack your bags - your time as chairman of Bradford & Bingley is up. Or at least it should be. Is it mere coincidence that that he has presided over not one but two bungled takeover processes this year, twice depriving long- suffering shareholders of value?...
Cowdery backs out of Bradford & Bungling farce amid bitter
- 2008-06-28

Bradford & Bingley: the sleepwalk towards the abyss
- 2008-06-08

When the underwriting contract is worth no more than a B&B buy-to-
- 2008-06-03
OUTLOOK When is a deeply discounted, fully underwritten rights issue neither deeply discounted nor underwritten? Bradford & Bingley's handling of its rights issue has been so calamitous that the company seems more deserving of pity than scorn. B&B appears to be in a state of almost total disarray....
