Talk about a match made in heaven -- CFOs and private equity dealmakers both have a passionate shared interest in today’s renewed focus on spinoffs and on acquisitions. Whether you’re on the corporate side or the PE side, if you’re a seller you have a ready and willing buyer, and vice versa.

So it only makes sense to know your counterparts -- except that your paths don’t normally cross.

But on December 9 in New York City, they will. That’s because The Capital Roundtable is joining forces with the publisher of CFO Magazine and cfo.com to present a new premier event that brings both camps together in one room -- our ALL-NEW MasterClass™ on

Spinoffs & Acquisitions --

How Corporate CFOs & PE Dealmakers Are Creating Win/Win Collaborations.

We’re pleased to be collaborating with CFO Publishing Corp., the prominent subsidiary of The Economist Group and producer of the CFO Rising conferences in Las Vegas and Orlando. Our aim is to make this joint MasterClass exceptionally valuable for corporate attendees who may never have participated in a private equity conference.

And speaking of valuable benefits, right now you can take advantage of a money-saving offer. Sign up today, and you’ll save $400 with our special Early Bird Discount.

Your Exclusive Connection to the Key Players, Advisors, & Lenders.

We’ve designed this conference to meet the needs of middle-market public companies, private companies, and private equity firms alike.

With the current lack of liquidity in capital markets, spinoffs (aka spin-outs) are back in vogue as a desirable corporate strategy -- and you’ll want to join us for this unique opportunity to delve into 2010’s wave of activity.

As a PE dealmaker, you’re certainly looking to purchase businesses that are good values -- and a corporate spinoff can be highly attractive.  Often corporate sellers are willing to bake seller paper into a deal.  What’s more, if you have portfolio companies to sell, CFOs of companies in allied industries can be your prime target buyers.

As a CFO looking to raise capital, divesting non-core assets makes strong business sense. By selling ancillary businesses, you can generate cash to retire debt or shore up pension plans -- or to make strategic acquisitions that are a better fit for the long term.

Whichever your role, you’ll want to make plans now to join us on December 9 while space is still available. If you have strategic plans that you want to move forward, this is the place to be.

20 Experienced Specialists in Successful Spinoff Transactions.

You couldn’t ask for a more knowledgeable expert to chair the proceedings than Adam Blumenthal, co-founder of Blue Wolf Capital in New York. Adam's background is diverse, including managing the New York City Retirement Systems pension fund, building the publicly-traded buyout fund American Capital Strategies, and operating middle-market portfolio companies.

Along with Adam, we’ll have 20 panelists to provide revealing insight on spinoffs and acquisitions from multiple perspectives. You’ll be in the company of CFOs and private equity GPs … investment bankers and attorneys …  advisors and consultants … and more.

As a private equity manager, you’ll find out about the markets for acquiring corporate spinoffs and for selling to strategic buyers. And as a corporate CFO, you’ll find out what private equity buyers and sellers look for and worry about.

When you attend this full-day MasterClass, you’ll get the answers to what’s on the minds of both sides of the table --

• What kinds of spinoff transactions are getting done in the market today?
• Where is capital available for middle-market PE deals?
• What valuations are reasonable for getting deals done?
• What are the most common transaction terms being employed?
• How can you gauge the timing involved in a spinoff transaction?
• How can you tell if you have a viable buyer?
• When and how should you use an investment banker in the spinoff process?
• How can you weigh the balance between price, speed and certainty?
• How can Washington’s more aggressive anti-trust enforcement affect dealmaking?
• And much, much more.

Only This MasterClass Combines Both the Content and the Contacts.

At The Capital Roundtable, we’ve always been eager to provide our attendees with not only a comprehensive review of the subject at hand, but also the ability to make valuable connections. Our spinoffs MasterClass is no exception, which is why we expect this program to fill up fast.

Built into the day’s agenda are plenty of networking breaks, plus an open lunch, where you can talk with your fellow attendees and our featured speakers. This is truly a one-of-a-kind occasion that can be a major contributor to your revenues in the new decade.

You should attend this MasterClass if you are a --

• CFO looking to connect with private equity buyers and sellers.
• CFO with eyes on PE portfolio companies that fit strategically.
• PE buyer looking to acquire a corporate spinoff.
• GP or operating executive ready to sell a portfolio company.
• Lender wishing to participate in spinoff transactions.
• Investment banker pursuing spinoff deals for the PE community.
• Attorneys and advisors who work with spinoffs and acquisitions.
• Executive search professionals recruiting for the PE industry.
