Good evening,

An unmemorable week in Australian deals draws to a close with dealmakers more interested in the financial markets than knocking out equity raisings or mergers this week.

In Street Talk tonight, we reveal which private equity suitors have bid for The Carlyle Group and Pacific Equity Partners’ $2 billion-plus iNova Pharmaceuticals, and check in on the go-slow at takeover target Infomedia.

We also unveil some of the details behind consultant Palladium’s takeover, which took place via UBS and Norton Rose, and get ready for Basslink’s auction.

Happy reading,

Anthony Macdonald, Sarah Thompson and Kanika Sood
