<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;

This Tennant Analyst Begins Coverage On A Bullish Note; Here Are Top 5 Initiations For Thursday

Wedbush analyst Daniel Ives initiates coverage on SolarWinds (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SWI#NYSE">SWI</a>) with a Outperform rating and announces Price Target of $20.

Wedbush Initiates Coverage On SolarWinds with Outperform Rating, Announces Price Target of $20

Goldman Sachs analyst Adam Hotchkiss downgraded E2open Parent Holdings (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ETWO#NYSE">ETWO</a>) from Neutral to Sell and lowered the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ETWO/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">price target from&nbsp;$3.5&nbsp;to&nbsp;$2.9</a>. The stock fell.
Despite year-to-date stock underperformance, Hotchkiss noted that the lack of visibility into an organic growth turnaround, execution risk as the company works to refine its organic sales engine further, and the company&#8217;s floating-rate leverage overhang will likely weigh on E2open Parent shares over the next 12 months.
As a business that has historically relied on acquired assets to support growth, E2open Parent&#8217;s elevated leverage in a high-interest rate environment is limiting the company&#8217;s ability to pay down debt to meet its leverage targets.
This cycle further limits the company&#8217;s ability to invest in growth initiatives (including acquisitions).

In addition, with the company roughly doubling in size through acquired assets over the last 4 years, the amount of new ARR required to accelerate growth materially has subsequently doubled, driving an increased burden on cross-selling (particularly in an environment where new logo acquisition has slowed) to reaccelerate growth.
Absent further acquisitions and with further maturation of E2open Parent&#8217;s organic sales structure needed, Hotchkiss sought more clarity on the company&#8217;s ability to reaccelerate growth beyond low single digits over the near-to-medium term.
E2open Parent&#8217;s valuation is undemanding, but Hotchkiss noted that a rerating higher is unlikely absent an improvement in fundamentals, particularly given the multiple trough levels seen from peer-challenged growth software comps like Dropbox Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DBX#NASDAQ">DBX</a>), RingCentral Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RNG#NYSE">RNG</a>), and SolarWinds Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SWI#NYSE">SWI</a>).
While Hotchkiss agreed with management&#8217;s stated goals to pay down debt and focus on organic growth, he awaited evidence of progress toward these goals in a time of slowing organic growth relative to peers before considering turning more positive on E2open Parent stock.
With four consecutive quarters of declines in subscription revenue growth and lowered fiscal 2025 guidance, Hotchkiss noted it is prudent to be incrementally cautious around shares of E2open Parent despite the company trading near trough levels.
E2open Parents rapid conglomeration of assets and associated teams over the years has significantly increased the level of net new ARR needed to match historical growth levels on an organic basis, and meeting these levels of net new ARR at a time when larger transformation projects are increasingly being deferred (creating pressure on new logo growth) will likely remain a challenge for the company over at least the next 12-months.
Hotchkiss projected third-quarter revenue of $151.7 million and adjusted EPS of $0.04.
Price Action: ETWO stock is down 3.51% at $3.02 at last check Wednesday.

<h3>Understanding the Significance of Insider Transactions</h3>
Investors should view insider transactions as part of a multifaceted analysis and not rely solely on them for decision-making.
When discussing legal matters, the term "insider" refers to any officer, director, or beneficial owner holding more than ten percent of a company's equity securities, as stipulated in Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This includes executives in the c-suite and significant hedge funds. Such insiders are required to report their transactions through a Form 4 filing, which must be completed within two business days of the transaction.
A new purchase by a company insider is a indication that they anticipate the stock will rise.
On the other hand, insider sells may not necessarily indicate a bearish view and can be motivated by various factors.
<h3>Understanding Crucial Transaction Codes</h3>
When analyzing transactions, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">investors</a> tend to focus on those in the open market, detailed in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 denotes a purchase,while S signifies a sale. Transaction code C signals the conversion of an option, and transaction code A denotes a grant, award, or other acquisition of securities from the company.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">파산 블록</h2>
판사 크리스토퍼 로페즈(Christopher Lopez)는 알렉스 존스(Alex Jones)의 미디어 회사 인포워스(Infowars)의 두 번째 경매 시도를 용이하게 하는 거래를 거부했다. NPR에 따르면 이 판결은 조에게 또 다른 임시 구제를 제공하지만, 샌디 훅 가족들이 거의 7년 전 부당성 손해배상으로 판결된 13억 달러를 회수하기 위한 노력을 지연시킨다.
로페즈 판사는 인포워스의 모회사인 프리 스피치 시스템(FSS)이 더 이상 파산 상태가 아니기 때문에 거래를 승인할 수 없다고 설명했다. 즉, 그의 판단에 따라 자산은 판매될 수 없으며, 오직 조의 회사 소유 지분만 경매에 부쳐질 수 있다. 그러나 판사는 또한 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/24/11/41982446/jokes-on-jones-onion-backed-by-families-of-sandy-hook-victims-buys-info-wars">이전 제안</a>을 차단했다. 이 제안은 풍자 웹사이트 디 어니언(The Onion)이 샌디 훅 희생자 가족들과 협력하여 인포워스에 입찰한 것이었다.
앞으로 로페즈는 모든 자산 판매는 간단한 현금 거래여야 한다고 강조했다. 이번 결정으로 손해배상 회수 및 조의 플랫폼 해체 가능성에 대한 경로는 여전히 불확실하다.
TGI 프라이데이는 11장소를 포함하여 19개의 추가 매장을 파산 보호 챕터 11 절차의 일환으로 매각했다. 캘리포니아 프리몬트에 본사를 둔 야다브 엔터프라이즈가 300만 달러의 부채로 16개 매장을 인수하고, 슈가로프 호스피텔리티, 전 TGI 프라이데이의 CEO 레이 블란셰트(Ray Blanchette) 소유의 회사가 3개 매장을 10만 달러에 인수하고 있다.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">블록에서의 노트</h2>
규모 vs 범위: 이번 주 베인 캐피털은 미디어 부문에서의 트렌드를 지적했다.
미디어 거래가 &#8220;주로 산업 간 거래&#8221;가 되고 있다. 베인의 <a href="https://www.bain.com/insights/media-and-entertainment-m-and-a-report-2025/">분석</a>에 따르면, 딜로직(Dealogic)의 데이터를 사용하여 2024년 1~3분기 동안 모든 미디어 산업 M&amp;A의 절반 이상이 목표 또는 인수자가 자사 산업 외부에 있었던 것으로 나타났다.
여기 몇 가지 주목할 만한 사항들이 있다. 베인의 파트너인 니콜 마군, 매트 키스 및 알렉스 이건이 언급했다:
<ul>
<li>과거에는 월트 디즈니(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>)의 거래 대부분이 &#8220;규모&#8221; (즉, 2006년 Pixar 인수 및 2019년 21세기 폭스 인수)였으나, 현재는 &#8220;범위 거래&#8221;의 비중이 높아지고 있다. 예를 들어, 지난해 디즈니는 <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">포트나이트의 제작사</a> 에픽 게임즈에 투자했다.</li>
<li>소니 그룹(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SONY#NYSE">SONY</a>)는 알라모 드래프트하우스(Alamo Drafthouse)라는 극장-저녁 식사 체인을 인수했다.</li>
<li>기업들은 또한 지속 가능한 IP를 위한 거래를 진행하고 있다: 소니 뮤직은 마이클 잭슨의 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/08/40515995/michael-jacksons-1-5b-catalog-lands-court-approval-for-sale-thriller-for-sony">음악 및 저작권 카탈로그</a>의 절반을 인수했다.</li>
<li>팝하우스 엔터테인먼트(Pophouse Entertainment)는 키스(Kiss)의 카탈로그와 <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">밴드 멤버의 초상권</a>를 인수했다.</li>
<li>사모펀드들은 품질 있는 IP를 보유한 소규모 제작 스튜디오에 투자하고 있다. 예를 들어, 레드버드(Redbird)는 All3Media를 인수하여 영상 분야에서 지속적인 우위를 확보하고자 했다.</li>
</ul>
위험이 있을까? &#8220;산업 간 미디어 M&amp;A에서 인수자는 이러한 거래가 다른 유형의 실사를 요구한다는 것을 빠르게 배운다&#8221;고 베인의 파트너들이 말한다. &#8220;첫째, 인수자는 목표 산업에 덜 익숙할 가능성이 높다. 또한, 범위 거래에 내재된 수익 시너지는 비용 시너지보다 실현하고 평가하기가 더 어렵다.&#8221;
