Good evening,
 
 

Good evening,

It's all Virgin, equity raisings and not a lot else in dealmaking land this week.

So we've jumped back into Virgin for our column tomorrow and this time have taken a look at Velocity Frequent Flyer.

Virgin's crown jewel continues to operate under its existing management and board, albeit well aware that it is up for sale as part of the wider group and that its parent is in administration.

To handle the complexities - and to work out how to navigate the interplay with a parent in administration - Velocity has hired some advisers of its own. And it's someone well known in the local restructuring/insolvency set.

Elsewhere, we look at what's happening with a couple of resources sector recapitalisations, and the bankers that are mandated to structure NSW's mooted sale of its $10 billion stake in WestConnex.

Happy reading,

Sarah Thompson, Anthony Macdonald and Tim Boyd
