<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Bankruptcy Block</h2>
Judge Christopher Lopez has rejected a deal that would have facilitated a second auction attempt for Alex Jones&#8216; media company, Infowars. This ruling, as reported by <a href="https://www.npr.org/2025/02/05/g-s1-46738/infowars-alex-jones-onion-bankruptcy-judge-sandy-hook">NPR</a>, provides another temporary reprieve for Jones, but delays the Sandy Hook families' efforts to collect the $1.3 billion in defamation damages awarded nearly seven years ago.
Lopez explained he couldn&#8217;t approve the deal because Infowars&#8217; parent company, Free Speech Systems (FSS), is no longer in bankruptcy. That means, he rules, its assets cannot be sold—only Jones&#8217; ownership stake in the company can be auctioned. And yet, the judge also blocked <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/24/11/41982446/jokes-on-jones-onion-backed-by-families-of-sandy-hook-victims-buys-info-wars">a previous offer</a> from satirical website The Onion, which had partnered with the Connecticut families to bid on Infowars. 
Moving forward, Lopez emphasized that any asset sale must be a straightforward cash deal. With this latest decision, the path to recovering damages—and potentially dismantling Jones' platform—remains uncertain.
TGI Fridays has sold 19 more restaurants as part of its ongoing Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings.&nbsp;Fremont, California-based Yadav Enterprises, an operator of 340 restaurants across six brands, is <a href="https://www.restaurantbusinessonline.com/financing/tgi-fridays-sells-19-restaurants-out-bankruptcy">buying</a> 16 stores for $3 million in debt. Sugarloaf Hospitality, a firm owned by former TGI Fridays CEO Ray Blanchette, is acquiring three locations for $100,000.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Notes From The Block</h2>
Scale Vs. Scope: This week, Bain Capital pointed out a trend in the media sector.
Media deals are becoming &#8220;predominantly cross-industry.&#8221; According to Bain&#8217;s <a href="https://www.bain.com/insights/media-and-entertainment-m-and-a-report-2025/">analysis</a>, using data from Dealogic, more than half of all media industry M&amp;A for the first three quarters of 2024 involved either a target or acquirer outside of their industry.
Here are a few callouts, cited by Bain partners Nicole Magoon, Matt Keith and Alex Egan:
<ul>
<li>The majority of Walt Disney Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>) transactions used to be &#8220;scale&#8221; (i.e., Pixar in 2006 and 21st Century Fox in 2019); today, there&#8217;s an &#8220;increasing emphasis on scope deals.&#8221; For example, last year, Disney invested in Epic Games, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/09/41052867/disneys-streaming-surge-epic-games-deal-among-key-growth-drivers-says-analyst">the maker of Fortnite</a>.</li>
<li>Sony Group Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SONY#NYSE">SONY</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/06/39313096/sony-steps-into-theater-business-with-alamo-drafthouse-purchase">purchased the theater-dinner chain</a> Alamo Drafthouse.</li>
<li>Companies are also doing deals for evergreen IP: Sony Music bought half of Michael Jackson's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/08/40515995/michael-jacksons-1-5b-catalog-lands-court-approval-for-sale-thriller-for-sony">publishing and recorded music catalog</a>.</li>
<li>Pophouse Entertainment acquired Kiss's catalog as well as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/04/38116031/sealed-with-a-kiss-rock-band-sells-legacy-for-300m-who-did-gene-simmons-get-into-bed-with">the band members' likenesses</a>. </li>
<li>Private equity funds have invested in smaller production studios with a track record of quality IP. For example, Redbird bought All3Media, seeking an enduring advantage in the video space.</li>
</ul>
Is there risk? &#8220;Acquirers in cross-sector media M&amp;A quickly learn that such deals require a different type of diligence,&#8221; the Bain partners say. &#8220;For one thing, an acquirer is likely to be less familiar with the target's industry. Also, the revenue synergies inherent in scope deals are harder to realize and underwrite than cost synergies.&#8221;

Altus Power shares are trading higher after the company announced it entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by TPG for a valuation of approximately $2.2 billion.

The purchase price represents a 66% premium to Altus Power's unaffected closing price on October 15, 2024, the last trading day prior to the Company's announcement of a formal review of strategic alternatives by its Board of Directors.

Altus Power Says Company Entered Into Definitive Agreement To Be Acquired By TPG Through Its TPG Rise Climate Transition Infrastructure Strategy For $5.00 Per Share In An All-cash Transaction That Values The Company At Approximately $2.2B

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Bankruptcy Block</h2>
Party City Holdco Inc., the one-stop-shop for all things celebration, is calling it a wrap. The company&#8217;s 700 stores are holding going-out-of-business sales. 
This is the second time Party City filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in two years. In 2023, a restructuring process eliminated almost $1 billion in debt — not enough to keep the party going.
Party City also faced some serious buzzkills like inflation and, per a New York Post <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/01/25/party-citys-founder-blames-bankruptcy-on-private-equity-firms/">interview</a> with the chain&#8217;s founder, Steve Mandell, shoddy leadership.
Party City is owned by investment firms such as Capital Group, Davidson Kempner and Silver Point Capital.
The Woodcliff Lake, New Jersey-based company filed for Chapter 11 in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas.
Over 95% of Party City's 12,000 employees will stay on until <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2024/12/20/business/party-city-shut-down/index.html">Feb. 28</a> to help with the big cleanup.
The news of Party City&#8217;s demise came just days after bankrupt retailer Big Lots (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BIGGQ#OTC">BIGGQ</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/12/42624759/big-lots-holds-liquidation-sales-analyst-pegs-competitor-as-major-beneficiary-market-share-capture-opportunity">failed to find a buyer</a>.
The retailer previously announced it was selling its assets to private equity firm Nexus Capital Management back in September. But now the deal is pretty much off the table.
In true clearance-sale spirit, the company is launching its "going out of business" blowout. It's also keeping hope alive by exploring other options. Whether that's cajoling Nexus back to the table or finding a new buyer remains to be seen. 
That&#8217;s not all. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/asset-sales/24/11/42254293/deal-dispatch-stoli-bankrupt-ally-financial-to-sell-credit-card-unit">Benzinga Deal Dispatch reported</a> last month The Container Store was on the verge of bankruptcy. Recall how it was unable <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41356027/whats-going-on-with-container-store-stock-after-getting-40m-investment-from-beyond">to ink a deal</a> with Beyond Inc. The <a href="https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20241222725949/en/The-Container-Store-to-Execute-Comprehensive-Recapitalization-Transaction-with-Lender-Support-to-Best-Position-the-Company-for-Future-Success">filing</a> became official on Sunday, Dec. 22, in a Texas district court.
But unlike Party City and Big Lots, The Container Store is staying in business.
&#8220;Our strategy is sound,&#8221; said The Container Store CEO Satish Malhotra. 
The beloved storage solutions and in-home services provider is tidying up its finances. Up to 90% of the company's term loan lenders have jumped on board with a transaction support agreement. 
The Container Store will have $40 million in fresh funds and $45 million in debt reduction. All this means The Container Store is aiming keep its promises to partners, vendors and stakeholders without a hitch. 
The company expects to exit bankruptcy within the next 30 days. When it re-emerges, it will be a private company.
The Container Store&#8217;s Elfa business in Sweden remains unaffected.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">New On The Block</h2>
Viracta Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VIRX#NASDAQ">VIRX</a>) is considering a sale. The oncology company — focused on virus-associated cancers — announced the process as part of a strategic review. Viracta voluntarily closed its pivotal Phase 2 NAVAL-1 trial of Nana-val for relapsed/refractory EBV+ lymphomas, citing no new safety concerns. CEO Mark Rothera remains optimistic about Nana-val&#8217;s future approval. 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Updates From The Block</h2>
Buyout firm TPG is in talks to acquire Altus Power (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMPS#NYSE">AMPS</a>), a solar energy provider to commercial property owners and residential homes, Reuters reported on Dec. 23. A competing bid could emerge. 
Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>)&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/12/42680655/alibaba-nears-4b-e-commerce-merger-with-south-koreas-e-mart-report">is close to merging</a>&nbsp;its South Korean operations with&nbsp;E-Mart Inc.&nbsp;in a deal valued at approximately $4 billion. This strategic move aims to bolster their position in South Korea&#8217;s competitive online retail market. The potential joint venture would combine the e-commerce assets of both companies. Discussions are ongoing, Bloomberg <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-12-26/alibaba-is-said-to-near-4-billion-deal-with-korea-s-e-mart">reported</a>&nbsp;on Thursday.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Notes From The Block</h2>
In 2024, private equity and financial investors showed renewed interest, according to Bain &amp; Co. Deal value increased by 29% year-over-year due to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/interest-rates">slightly lower interest rates</a>.
Corporate M&amp;A, less impacted by minor debt cost changes, is projected to finish the year 12% higher than 2023, with a 7% rise in deal volume across all regions, the firm noted.
&#8220;Overall, the level of M&amp;A activity was a middling $3.5 trillion,&#8221; the firm <a href="https://www.bain.com/insights/looking-back-m-and-a-report-2025/">noted</a>. &#8220;That&#8217;s a number consistent with what we saw in the mid-2010s.&#8221;
