Government Buys out Strabag’s Hungarian-Austrian Railway Stakes. The Hungarian state has received the approval of the Austrian Federal Competition Authority to acquire Strabag’s stake in Győr-Sopron-Ebenfurti Vasút (Raaberbahn or GYSEV, Hungarian-Austrian railway company), Minister of Construction and Transport János Lázár said on his Facebook page. As Strabag has already announced that it does not consider its stake in the railway company as a strategic investment and is willing to divest it, the last obstacle to the Hungarian state increasing its stake in GYSEV has been removed, reports Világgazdaság. János Lázár recalled that the Hungarian state was already a majority shareholder in the company – still owned by the Austrian state – but under the terms of the contract concluded by the previous governments, the Austrian state retained its veto right in the company, despite the fact that while the Hungarian state invested more and more money in the company, and the Austrians failed to meet their capital increase obligations. Nevertheless, Hungarian influence in the company did not increase. According to the politician, the current Hungarian government did not accept that Hungarians were in a minority in their own company. That is why Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has entrusted János Lázár with the task of putting things in order. The minister indicated that the company would remain a joint venture, with the Austrian state remaining a minority shareholder, which János Lázár personally welcomed, saying he believed in all forms of Central European cooperation. At the same time, Hungary will now have the final say in the railway company, since with Strabag’s 6.13 percent stake the Hungarian state’s stake will increase to 71.7 percent, thus restoring ownership rights. According to the minister, the transaction is good news for all passengers and employees of Hungarian railways, as the development of GYSEV, which was also achieved with Hungarian taxpayers’ money, will now also make a tangible contribution to the catching-up of MÁV. Although it is not clear from the entry what the price of Strabag’s share package might be, press reports in December suggested an offer of EUR 10 million.

👀 All Eyes on the Supreme Court Now.... 📢 Hindenburg’s Big Allegations Against SEBI and Madhabi Puri Buch: Lack of Action: It's been 18 months since Hindenburg's report on Adani, but SEBI hasn’t shown much interest in investigating Adani’s alleged network of offshore shell companies. Mauritius Connection: An Adani director allegedly set up a small offshore fund in Mauritius, linked to a company involved in the Wirecard scandal. Vinod Adani, Gautam Adani's brother, is accused of siphoning money from the Adani Group by overcharging for power equipment and investing the excess in Indian markets. SEBI Chairperson’s Involvement: Whistleblower documents suggest that Madhabi Buch, SEBI's Chairperson, and her husband had stakes in the offshore funds involved in the Adani scandal. Supreme Court's Observation: The Supreme Court noted that SEBI failed to identify the people behind Adani’s offshore shareholders. Hindenburg pointed out that SEBI could have started by investigating its own Chairperson. No Action on Others: Hindenburg claims that SEBI has not taken action against other Indian-origin Adani shareholders connected to India Infoline, despite suspicions. Conflict of Interest: From April 2017 to March 2022, Madhabi Buch was a member and later Chairperson of SEBI, while also having a 100% interest in a Singaporean consulting firm, which she transferred to her husband after becoming SEBI Chairperson. Blackstone Connection: In 2019, while Madhabi Buch was a SEBI official, her husband was appointed as a senior advisor to Blackstone, despite lacking experience in real estate or capital markets. REITs Sponsorship: Blackstone, one of the biggest sponsors of REITs in India, gained SEBI approval for two REITs while Madhabi Buch was at SEBI. During her husband’s time as an advisor, SEBI made several changes to REIT regulations that benefited firms like Blackstone. Promoting REITs: Madhabi Buch promoted REITs as “future products” at conferences, but did not mention her husband’s connection to Blackstone, which stood to benefit from these products. Consulting Firm Ownership: Currently, Madhabi Buch owns 99% of an Indian consulting company, Agora Advisory, where her husband is a director. In 2022, the firm earned $261,000 from consulting, which is 4.4 times her disclosed salary at SEBI. #SEBI #MadhabiPuri #Hindenburg #Adani #IIFL #SupremeCourt

Is Brazil closer to having its own SAFE? You already know we've been on it by creating the MISTO 🥪, a convertible note template to standardize startup investment in Brazil. But legislation can be… well… limiting. It forced us to draft, together with Pinheiro Neto Advogados, Gunderson Dettmer, and Bronstein, Zilberberg, Chueiri e Potenza Advogados, a document that lets investments count as debt, just like a standard mútuo conversível. So our special touch included getting rid of interest rates, optimizing for founder-friendly terms, and making the cap table predictable – unlike the usual mútuo conversível. 😉 Last week, however, a bill by Carlos Portinho introduced to the Senate a HYBRID financing instrument called CICC – contrato de investimento conversível em capital social. Drafted with the help of Mattos Filho, the Senator's proposal mentioned being inspired by YC just as we were, and cited the MISTO as a stepping stone in making evident the need for a new type investment instrument. 🎉 And that's a big cause for celebration, if you ask us! Not cause we felt popular (that too 💅) but because if it moves forward, good VC practices get stronger legal support in Brazil, with a brand new financing model in the Startup Legal Framework protecting companies from debt collection in case of dissolution. 👉 Check our the proposal and consider supporting it at https://bit.ly/yes-to-CICC
