this is awesome!!! in the story it says bass pro also has to pay $55 million to terminate its offer. this is actually something good biden has done. the feds blocked the merger.
I'm not familiar with this transaction, but when I worked at big law firms I was involved in a number of large acquisitions. It's typical to build in a "break fee" in to the agreement in the event things happen prior to the deal closing, with regulatory issues being one of the big ones.
One deal I worked on involved my client acquiring a publicly traded medical insurance company and we knew that there was a high likelihood that the regulators would require some form of business unit divestment to approve the deal since both buyer and seller were in the same business with overlapping customers. Of course, the regulators did what was expected and the deal was restructured and then it closed.
It's not Biden who did this, it's a longstanding part of federal antitrust regulation of transactions. It happens all the time, which is why we always put break fees in to deals where both buyer and seller are in the same market space.

why do you think bass pro wanted the deal? They have operated cabelas like they are trying to sabotage it, reminds me of how the Remington deal went down

Tucker had a segment on Cabela's merger and vulture capitalism couple years back.
People should have been jailed for that.

There are some things that should be understood. The 11% share of Cabelas owned by the hedge fund and fund manager that is being accused of being the cause for what happened in Sidney used investors money to buy the 11% stake. The 11% stake was bought to force Cabelas into a quick sell position or an accelerated selling position. Who would want this? Who all would benefit from this? And besides, the buyer of Cabelas is the one that shutdown the Sidney operation not the hedge fund manager. Why was Cabelas firing and laying off people right before the transaction? This has been called doing someone's dirty work in other situations in order for the buyer to have less severance to payout.
Everyone thinks that Cabelas was ruined by BPS. It was ruined several years before the merger. I saw this on the retail end when they chepeaned everything, stopped their outfitter series and customer service tanked.

Remsen,
Thanks for this explanation. In this case what did BP get for their $55M? Was that the price for SW to sit down at the table?

Good news indeed, the one here is usually pretty well stocked. Ordering guns is easy. Prices are pretty decent, and I get a 10% to 20% discount occasionally on anything but ammo.
I went into a Sportsman's Warehouse for the first time last week. I was blown away byt the amount of stock they had on everything....but they didn't have a lot of ammo, etc like everybody else. The ammo they had was at a decent price for the more common rounds. Their fishing stuff was amazing.
I loved going to Sportsmans Warehouse when we had a few in Wisconsin. I am an FFL dealer. I had a customer that wanted to order a gun this week. It was a Remington and he looked hi and low to find one. He found one at SWI guess in Utah if that is where they are headquartered. Since they did not have a copy of my license I called them up and they said that they had to vet me first..WTF Q1. What is your zip code? There reason was that if they have an FFL on file from a dealer within 25 miles of me. The gun will have to be shipped to them. WTF This customer lives close to me I have handled several transfers for him. I have never run into this before EVER.I have been doing it for 11 years. Buds Gun,PSA, KY GUN COand many other big companies do not give 2 [bleep] who gets the gun as long as the license is valid. I find this to be a [bleep] policy and may have been to hard on the guy as he doesn't make the policy but it was so beyond stupid I couldn't help myself. Anyway I do like SW just not this [bleep] policy. Off the soap box

Thanks for the clarification of how these deals work. Your input is always appreciated!
It’s good that SW wasn’t swallowed up by Bass Pro. We are 15-20 min from the large Wheeling WV Cabelas. I used to enjoy going there. Place went to pot shortly before the merger. I haven’t stopped in in years. Plenty of people do though, parking lot seems to always have lots of vehicles.
Do visit the Morgantown WV SW when I’m in the area and have use them for online purchases.
Glad they didn't merge, but I'm not sure how I feel about them.
I can't find sandals there after Labor Day and before Easter.
I mean, it's not like we're in MN, MT, or AK.
Whoopity Sheesh.

BP is beyond worthless... why in the fugg anyone goes there anymore is beyond any comprehension I can manage.
I had a $200 gift card (or something like that)... tried to spend it... seriously... ON ANYTHING... walked out with a bunch of the famous socks... and revised "NON-LIFETIME" warranty.
Pure crap store anymore. Only fools shop there.
If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.
