Chase Disney Case
Hong Kong Disneyland finance team met separately with Chase and 16 other banks in Hong Kong for the HKD3.3 billion financing during May 2000. In the first round competition, because the deal had a long tenor which banks don’t like besides the previous problems at Disneyland Paris, Chase decided to bid to lose in the first round competition. As local banks like Bank of China and HSBC were likely to bid aggressively, they also chose to bid aggressively enough to make the short list to protect their reputation. And if they happened to win the mandate, it would have to be on terms that met their earnings targets. Need to evaluate the risks (credit and syndication) and returns (financial and reputational) - What are the deal’s key risks and profit potential for Chase? Analyze Chase’s pricing strategy. Risks * Joint mandate → lower underwriting fees * Aggressive competition → reduces profitability * Disney’s bad track record * Credit issues (long maturity, limited collateral, CFs to be used for CapEx, no willing to subordinate management fees and royalties to debt service) * Fully underwritten deal → underwriting risk Reasons to bid * Chase wants to maintain its relationship with Disney * Might enhance Chase’s reputation in the region * Despite the risks, might be profitable if the deal is designed carefully - What are the tradeoffs of the market flex provision for Chase and Disney? - How should Chase design the syndication strategy (general vs. sub-underwriting, syndicate size, loan shares etc.)? * Sub-underwriting is an optional, “wholesale”, phase of syndication and the general syndication is the “retail” phase * Sub-underwriting allows Chase to reduce underwriting risk and expedite the syndication process. However, the underwriter loses fees and league table status… * Some borrowers may request sub-underwriting to reward certain relationship banks with senior status and increased

    In assessing the author’s reflection on the case study, it can be realized that he has failed to cite specific examples from the case to support his arguments. He mostly uses some generalized circumstances, which may also be acceptable due to the limited word count requirements of the response. Overall, the author has justified the perspectives of Disney’s vulnerability from the communications standpoint. The biblical integration is also relevantly compared with the case, as the author uses the story of Jesus and his struggles against the oppositions.…

    Corporate crime has occurred quite frequently in the past few decades. It seems that every large corporation has skeletons in their closet, more so than others. With many major corporate officials constantly standing against trial, it seems that high profile industries cannot be trusted by the public. This also applies to our very own trusted banks.

    In a firm commitment agreement, the bank acts as an underwriter by purchasing the securities from the issuer at a mutually agreed price with a view of reselling them to the public at a margin. For the issuer, it is the safest but the most expensive type of agreement. It is the safest because the underwriter takes the risk of sale. It is expensive because the risk is reflected in the potentially lower sale price, since the underwriter seeks to make around 7% profit from the spread between the purchase and resale price. A related disadvantage of ‘firm commitment’ is underpricing, which results in "money left on the table" - lost capital that could have been raised for the company had the stock been offered at a higher price. For instance, in 1998, the shares of theglobe.com underwritten by Bear Stearns were priced at $9 per share. At the opening of trading, they rocketed around 1000% to $97 per share. It is estimated that around $200 million was left on the table as a result: see further Ibbotson, Sindelar and Ritter (1994).…

    Evidence from this case suggests that the traditional Japanese corporate governance stance has started to shift in order to include some elements of the Anglo-American way of corporate governance. It appears that a final decision has been made to build Disney Sea Park (despite unattractive ARR, but attractive NPV/IRR and ACFR) not only for the potential profits reaped for the company but also due to their responsibility to keep uphold the interests of its stakeholders (which would include its parent company, stockholders, landowners, suppliers, creditors, the local communities and government), whose livelihoods would be directly affected by this critical decision.…

    Fish’s idea that students should not express their opinion in academic writing is highly speculative. Fish claims that the students are not expected to show their opinion in academic writing because writing is all about influencing reader’s view. According to Fish, the purpose of writing is to “expand the possibilities of thought and action—that, not self-expression” (Fish). Therefore, writings should lecture new knowledge or perspective about certain topic to readers. Based on this quote, Fish shows that student’s opinion is not so important in academic writing.…
