Defeat to Carlos Cuesta’s Parma leaves Rossoneri 10 points off top spot as England midfielder suffers broken jaw These were supposed to be the weeks when Milan held the upper hand over their Serie A rivals, granted six days to prepare for a home game against bottom-half opposition while the likes of Inter, Juventus and Atalanta dragged themselves back exhausted from European away trips . Demoralised, too, after losing to Bodø/Glimt, Galatasaray and Borussia Dortmund by a combined 10 goals to three. It was a grim week for Italian football, the sort that provokes another round of sad think-pieces about whether the nation’s teams will ever again be competitive in the continent’s biggest tournament. A discourse which often seems to skim over the fact one of them has gone to the final twice in the past three seasons. Continue reading...

Activist hedge fund Saba Capital Management is preparing to swoop down on three Blue Owl Capital private credit funds which recently offloaded some $1.4 billion of loan assets, as fears grow over software valuations and a broader liquidity squeeze in private markets. Private credit manager Blue Owl's share price has fallen sharply in recent days amid growing concerns over a liquidity crunch in its debt vehicles. The firm has overhauled the liquidity terms in one of its funds, Blue Owl Capital Corporation II, restricting investors' ability to withdraw their money. Now, Boaz Weinstein's Saba Capital, along with Cox Capital Partners, has launched a tender offer to buy stakes in the funds at a 20-35% discount to the reported net asset value (NAV). Saba and Cox said in an announcement Friday that they had notified Blue Owl of their intent to commence a tender offer to buy a portion of Blue Owl Capital Corporation II fund — also known as OBDC II — shares in cash. They also plan to launch similar tender offers for two other Blue Owl funds — the publicly-traded Blue Owl Capital Corporation (OBDC) and the tech-focused Blue Owl Technology Income Corp (OTIC). OWL 5D mountain Blue Owl Capital. OBDC II, a business development company aimed at U.S. retail investors, recently offloaded $600 million in loans, amounting to some 34% of its $1.7 billion portfolio. Meanwhile, OBDC and OTIC funds each sold $400 million in loan assets, representing 2% and 6% of their respective portfolios. Saba and Cox said the tender offers would "provide a liquidity solution to retail investors in the wake of a significant industry-wide increase in BDC redemption requests, multiple quarters of net outflows and a rise in redemption gate provisions." 'Ebbs and flows' Blue Owl said last week it is ending regular quarterly liquidity payments to OBDC II's investors, switching instead to periodic payouts funded by asset sales, earnings, repayments and other deals. The move, which more tightly restricts inves...

Service Properties Trust ( SVC ) wholly owned subsidiaries have priced $745M in principal amount of net lease mortgage notes. This transaction is expected to close on March 6, 2026, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. The notes will be issued in three classes to institutional buyers in the following principal amounts: Class A: $220M of 5.157% of AAA rated notes Class B: $375M of 5.795% of AA rated notes Class M: $150M of 7.549% of BBB rated notes The weighted average coupon of the three classes is 5.96%. The Class A and Class B notes will require small monthly principal payments — equal to 0.50% and 0.25% annually of the outstanding balance, respectively — while the Class M notes will require interest payments only. The notes are expected to mature in March 2031, and SVC can repay them at face value starting in March 2029. To back the financing, SVC is placing 158 retail net lease properties into its existing master trust. These properties generate $84M of annual minimum rents, with an appraised value of approximately $1.1B. They include 34 travel centers leased to TravelCenters of America. After fees and discounts, SVC expects to receive about $730M, which will be used to pay down debt and for general corporate purposes. “We are pleased to announce our second securitization of net lease assets. This financing provides meaningful annual cash interest savings of approximately $14 million, or $.08 per share, and underscores SVC’s continued access to efficient sources of capital and proactive approach to balance sheet management," CFO Brian Donley said. The REIT also announced the early redemption, in full, of its outstanding 8.375% Senior Guaranteed Unsecured Notes due June 2029 at a price equal to the principal amount of $700M, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, to, but not including, the redemption date of March 7, 2026, and the applicable premium. SVC currently expects to fund this redemption with the proceeds from the net lease mort...

Bhawika Chhabra | Reuters OpenAI on Monday announced it is entering into multi-year partnerships with four consulting firms that will help the company deploy its enterprise platform called Frontier . The artificial intelligence startup said it has formed "Frontier Alliances" with Accenture , Boston Consulting Group, Capgemini and McKinsey & Company, according to a release. The company declined to share the financial details of the partnerships. Lan Guan, the chief AI and data officer at Accenture, said OpenAI's Frontier Alliances serve as an example of how product companies, consulting companies and strategy companies should come together to accelerate AI deployment. "This is the inflection moment," Guan said in an interview. "It's our time to help enterprise clients to actually realize the value of AI." OpenAI is racing against rivals like Google and Anthropic to win users and marketshare, and the company has made an aggressive push to court enterprise customers in recent months. OpenAI CFO Sarah Friar told CNBC in January that enterprises account for roughly 40% of OpenAI's business, though she expects that figure to reach closer to 50% by the end of the year. Frontier, which OpenAI unveiled earlier this month, acts as an intelligence layer that stitches together disparate systems and data within an organization. It aims to make it easier for companies to manage, deploy and build AI agents, which are tools that can independently complete tasks on behalf of a user.
