<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.

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.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Notes From The Block</h2>
According to <a href="https://www.spglobal.com/marketintelligence/en/news-insights/latest-news-headlines/m-a-activity-in-the-us-and-canada-falls-in-q3-as-deal-value-rises-85741632">S&amp;P Global</a>, M&amp;A activity in the U.S. and Canada lagged compared to 2023.
<ul>
<li>The deal tally for the U.S. and Canada announced in the third quarter was 4,153 — down 4.3% from the preceding quarter, but up 2% from the third quarter of 2023.</li>
<li>Aggregate value amounted to $365.99 billion; up from $301.62 billion in the second quarter and $282.77 billion in the year-ago period.</li>
<li>The first nine months of 2024 saw 12,680 M&amp;A deals in the U.S. and Canada. That&#8217;s less than the 13,203 deals for the same time frame in 2023.</li>
<li>M&amp;A value for the first three quarters of 2024 hovered at around $1.052 trillion — up from $838.32 billion during the three months in 2023.</li>
</ul>
Joe Mantone, who authors the quarterly M&amp;A reports at S&amp;P Global Market Intelligence, had this to say: 
BZ: Was there anything that surprised you from the latest deal data?
Mantone: The quarter-over-quarter drop in the number of deals is not that surprising given seasonal trends. Dealmaking tends to slow during the third quarter&#8217;s summer months. The year-over-year increase in deals provides a bit of evidence that M&amp;A is recovering. But activity levels are still below historical norms, and the number of transactions announced in the US and Canada haven't fluctuated much over the last six quarters.
BZ: Will Q4 finish strong with the change in benchmark <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/interest-rates">interest rates</a>?
Lower rates can create a more conducive backdrop for M&amp;A, and help the number of deals announced move beyond current levels. While it&#8217;s hard to predict activity in any one given quarter, I do think lower rates will serve as a catalyst for M&amp;A as we move into 2025, especially for deals involving private equity. Private equity firms have plenty of dry powder, and the lower interest rates will decrease the cost of acquisition financing, which is beneficial for those using leverage on the buyside. Buyers having access to less expensive debt tends to increase valuations, which can lead to more private equity firms selling portfolio companies.
BZ: How do you expect dealmakers to react post-Election Day?
On the total deal value side, the fourth quarter presents a difficult year-over-year comparison because there were some extremely large deals in the fourth quarter of 2023. It wouldn&#8217;t surprise if there was some pause around the election for bigger transactions, but I doubt that dealmakers will completely change their strategic plans based on the outcome, one way or another.&nbsp;
