Tata Steel wins Corus with $11.3bn offer
The much awaited results are out!!
Tata Steel of India won the battle to control Anglo-Dutch steel maker Corus with a £5.75bn ($11.3bn) offer on Wednesday, after more than eight hours of head-to-head bidding against Companhia Siderúrgica Nacional of Brazil.
Tata was declared the winner with a bid of 608p a share in cash, against CSN's highest bid of 603p a share. The Tata bid valued Corus at about £6.7bn including debt, said a spokesman for the company – far above earlier analysts' and market estimates. Corus shares closed in London on Tuesday at 565p.
"This is a price that Corus shareholders will be happy with but also one that Tata is happy with," said a banker working on the Tata bid. He added that the Tata camp was "pretty excited" about the victory, especially as CSN had been seen by many as the probable winner. "We kept a very low profile but we always knew Tata was very determined," said the banker. Tata is expected to hold a press conference in Mumbai at about 10:15am local time.
The bidding went to the ninth and final round of an unusual auction process introduced by the UK Takeover Panel to ensure the Corus battle was resolved in an orderly and transparent way. One person described the process as "tense" towards the end. The Tata team including the chairman, Ratan Tata, conducted the bidding from their headquarters in Mumbai through their bankers in London.
Tata and CSN had been fighting over Corus for several months, in an effort to become the world's fifth largest steel producer. The global steel industry has been rapidly consolidating over the past year, and steel makers are under pressure to grow if they are to have a chance of competing with Arcelor Mittal, the world's largest steel group, created last year through the takeover of Arcelor by Mittal Steel.
CSN bid 515p a share in cash for Corus in December, trumping Tata's agreed offer of 500p. Tata had started the bidding in October with an offer of 455p a share.
Tata's winning bid of 608p a share represented a premium of 68 per cent to Corus's pre-bid share price, Corus said.
A person familiar with the Tata bid acknowledged the price was higher than the market expected but said Tata's net profit for the third quarter, reported on Tuesday, was sharply higher and steel prices were buoyant. "Against that backdrop, it's understandable that Tata Steel has the confidence to do what it has with Corus," he said.
Tata said the bid represented a price of nine times earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation and amortisation from continuing operations for the year ending September 2006 and a premium of 33.6 per cent to its original bid of 455p.
The deal represents the final chapter in a successful turnround story at Corus, which was on the brink of collapse four years ago. At the time, its shares were trading at less than 10p, but a boom in global steel prices and a restructuring plan pushed through by Philippe Varin, chief executive, led to a dramatic recovery in the group's fortunes.
One London-based steel analyst said earlier Tuesday that Corus was expensive even at 515p a share. "450p was where you could find a stand-alone fair value for the company. Higher than that and you have to find synergies."
CSN and Tata's bidding had been dictated by "pride" as much as value for money, said the analyst. "They are looking at global empire building."
CSN tried to merge with Corus in 2002, and had claimed to have done substantial work on the potential synergies between the two companies.
CSN refused to comment immediately Wednesday morning. Earlier it said it would launch a bid for Colombian steelmaker Acerias Paz del Rio, seen by some commentators as a plan B in the event of Tata taking Corus.
The deal is likely to boost the valuations of smaller steel companies that could get caught up in the further consolidation of the global steel industry, such as Voestalpine of Austria and Salzgitter of Germany. CSN, along with ambitious Russian steelmakers such as Severstal, who missed out on a merger with Arcelor last year when it was bought by Mittal Steel, will be looking for targets.

Everything about horse betting
So what is wrong with horse racing? Well, for lack of a better answer... horse racing. By that we mean the tradition mired establishment of horse racing where "because we've always done it that way" seems to be the golden rule.
[url=http://www.pulsebet.com]horse betting[/url]
In the United States, races can occur on flat surfaces of either dirt or grass, generally for thoroughbred racing. Other tracks offer quarter horse racing]] and harness racing. The best events in US horse racing have been Kentucky Derby, which, together with the Preakness Stakes and the Belmont Stakes, form the Triple Crown for three-year-olds. However, in recent years the Breeders' Cup races, held at the end of the year, have been challenging the Triple Crown events, held early in.
Will Barbaro be the next Triple Crown winner? He has the breeding and the talent, but as of this writing twenty horses have won the first two legs of the Triple Crown only to fail at Belmont. Twenty five more have won two of the three races, but maybe this year...

Brother Derek with Alex Solis up finished in a dead heat for fourth in the Derby, 9 1/2 lengths back after being steadied twice. With a career record of 6 wins out of 9 starts (3 out of 4 this year) Brother Derek had 4 straight wins before the Derby.
If you’re like me when you first saw the term “arbitrage sports betting” you just said, “huh?” You may even be reading this article because you were wondering. It is a relatively little method that can actually allow you to make money no matter who wins or loses. Kind of like heads I win, tails I win!
One key thing to remember when you are seeking out the best sports betting odds is that the best odds and the best sports bookmaker are not necessarily one and the same.

With this movement the United States has taken a different approach to online gambling. Whereas other countries are working with these services to regulate them, the United States is attempting to prohibit them once and for all. By doing this they are missing out on the ability to tax internet gambling instead of getting rid of it entirely. Conservative estimates have shown that taxing these services could make the government in upwards of $6 billion a year.
And finally, in the first article in this series I mentioned being honest with yourself, because one of the biggest lies I have found that a tremendous number of Bettors are guilty of is denying to themselves how many times their Base Bank has been busted! If you too are guilty of this, please remember that until you face up to the truth with the determination to do something about it, you can't expect to turn the situation round in your favour.
10.) Try making friends at different online bingo sites. You can always receive useful advice and lean more game techniques through such online bingo friends.

With so many different casino and gaming sites on the Internet, it is difficult to know which ones are legitimate and which ones are not. After all, if you want to join the gaming community, you have to decide whether you want to play for money or for fun and prizes. If the former, it is more pertinent to find out what sites are legitimate since you do not want to invest cash into something that is not going to give you a return on your investment.

Bingo is a beautiful game of luck, which involves patience, rapid coordination between hearing and searching out the numbers and lots of fun. As with all gambling bingo is totally addictive and you should be careful of its grip on you!
