Good evening,
 
 

Good evening,

And they’re off! Silver Lake has fired the starter’s gun on its multibillion-dollar auction for Ticketek owner TEG.

Sources told Street Talk the private equity group’s sell-side adviser Jefferies mailed out terms of a ready-to-use debt package worth up to $1.2 billion on Tuesday afternoon in an attempt to spur suitors.

Multiple parties, including Blackstone, are understood to be in active due diligence.

If only Ticketek could sell tickets to this fight. We hear there’s a new fund manager brawl in town as Sydney-based hedge fund Harvest Land takes on ASX-listed Morphic Ethical.

The listed investment company trades at a massive discount and has undershot benchmark returns for years – or so says a prickly letter fired off to MEC’s board and key shareholders after market close on Wednesday.

Elsewhere, ASX-listed gold player De Gray Mining has struck a deal to acquire half a project being developed by Western Australia’s Novo Resources, Jarden’s former local chief executive and current chairman is set to leave the investment bank and something is brewing at ASX-listed Equity Trustees.

Happy reading,
Sarah Thompson, Kanika Sood and Emma Rapaport
