It’s safer to assume nothing.


It’s safer to assume nothing. This is a bit problem, - should I start analyze my midnight pummeling, or passing my dreams, - come straight to the who they can symbolize? Of which human activity these arguments correspond? Of which theme is this harassment? The theme of Tory’s Captain Data made decision to go for broke (i.e. offering the Liberal Democrats a full blown coalition and ignoring most of his party, who were calling on him to govern as a minority), - it’s too simple, it is why I sometimes insist to be called Anglo-Dutch! And you know me… Speaking sad like this, isn’t place to mention the Osborn/medvedev – Deripaska affair from Spanish right wing called Vera Metalurgica? Where this reshuffle of Euro-political scene ruled by the outstanding debts take now a serious and exciting tone? Well than, the first dream was something about “No to Uzbek!” – and than blow in my neck. O-o-o…, - it’s very simple to decipher, - it’s the Repsol (Refineria de Petróleos de Escombreras Oil - Yacimientos Petrolíferos Fiscales Sociedad Anónima) of 1 trillion euros looking at the Gobi desert. After lose my sleep, a couples hours later, was the well squared lengthy white sloop hit my teeth. (I see that long ship prepared for a long journey which I insist by decades to explain for Andrew Lancaster). The third, - was the “payment” of the previous two. Maybe this one was because I really stop to worrying about this sort of people and this kind of things that I contain no dominion? Any how, - I done my best for them… But, let’s describe in “numbers” my “remuneration”. The dreams were I was in the some very posh Catwalk. In Balmoral, in Strasburg or something. Actually, it’s not good, because it’s indicate the obvious truth that I’m using my appearance to get my way! Alternatively, it also mean that I enjoy being the centre of attention. With you it’s whatever. With you it’s better to pursue the “humble” aspirations rather than grand ‘schemes’. With you it’s safer to assuming nothing.

Lee Partners LP and TPG Capital are in talks to pay more than $15 billion including debt for Fidelity National Information Services Inc., (NSI is engaged in the business of searching, filing, and document retrieval of public record information, including but not limited to suits, judgements, liens, corporate background, criminal history, mortgage information, and legal actions.) said a person with knowledge of the matter, a deal that would value the company at about $32 a share. Fidelity National Information may reach an agreement with the buyout group as soon as May 16 if talks don’t collapse, this person said, speaking on condition of anonymity because the discussions are private. Marcia Danzeisen, a spokeswoman for Fidelity National, didn’t return a call after regular business hours yesterday. A $15 billion deal would be about three times as big as the largest leveraged buyout since the credit markets crumbled in July 2007, showing how private-equity firms are again putting capital to work after more than a two-year drought in transactions. LBO funds worldwide have about $500 billion of unspent committed capital, according to researcher Preqin Ltd. Private-equity firms announced about $24 billion of company takeovers so far this year, compared with $5.7 billion during the same period in 2009. For Fidelity National Information, a Jacksonville, Florida- based payment-processing company, a deal in the $32 a share range would represent more than a 20 percent premium to the $26 closing stock price on May 5, the last day before the Wall Street Journal reported the company was in buyout talks. Other private-equity firms have recently held talks about joining the group bidding for Fidelity National Information, said two people with knowledge of the matter. With banks preparing about $10 billion in debt financing, the private- equity group would have to put up more than $5 billion, one of the people said. Financing Group: Bank of America Corp., Barclays Plc, Citigroup Inc., Credit Suisse Group AG, Deutsche Bank AG and JPMorgan Chase & Co. are among the banks that have been working on financing the takeover, said other people with knowledge of the matter. Credit-market turmoil in 2007 led banks to pull back on leveraged loans used to finance buyouts. Since July of that year, the largest LBO was that of IMS Health Inc., acquired in February for about $5 billion including debt. Fidelity National Information had about $2.9 billion of net debt and noncontrolling interest as of March 31. With about 377 million shares outstanding as of April 30, a deal at $32 a share would value the company’s stock at $12.1 billion. Thomas H. Lee, also known as THL Partners, already owns about 4.4 percent of Fidelity National, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Private-equity firm Warburg Pincus is the company’s largest shareholder, with about 11 percent. Fidelity National Information processes payments and issues cards for more than 14,000 institutions globally. The company had profit of $105.9 million in 2009 on revenue of $3.77 billion. Spokesmen for Blackstone, THL, and TPG declined to comment or didn’t immediately respond to calls seeking comment.
