Objective & Core Competencies

What do Investors Want?

What Research can Offer
Objective & Core Competencies
I am pursuing opportunities that are appropriate for my experience. My interests
include Corporate Communications, Investor Relations, Marketing, Corporate
Access, Research Product Management, Specialist Sales and Financial Media
My greatest Strengths are being a good listener who can tease out high
Conviction ideas on my own or with others due to my Analyst training and
communicate them effectively across industries, asset classes and geographies
My skill sets include generating Thematic Content and leveraging dissemination
into Multi-Product outcomes
Having been at the nexus of both Corporate Communications & Journalism as well
as Research, Sales & Trading, I have well developed abilities which I can bring to
bear on the Communications and Investment processes
What do Investors Want?
Analysts must be willing to develop highly controversial, non-consensus positions
on industries and stocks - and be right
Help portfolio managers Outperform: A couple of great ideas a year will put an
Analyst far ahead of peers
Anticipating Change is worth a lot. Analyzing Change is worth much less
Have enthusiasm and communicate that excitement to clients
Being honest and admitting mistakes early increases credibility
Cover exciting smaller cap companies

What Research can Offer
Good companies can be bad stocks and bad companies can be good stocks
Analysts are valuable when helping determine the attractiveness of a stock by
providing insight about future reality and the market’s likely reaction
Analysts become indispensable because they provide the most insight, not because
their stock picks are always right or their estimates are always perfect
Analysts who provide the most insightful and most proactive Research to
institutional clients are the most valuable to issuers looking to raise Capital

4.10 Hire Announcement
Dow Jones Investment Banker Adds Wall Street Veteran to Editorial Team



• http://www.dowjones.com/pressroom/releases/2010/12102011-DJIB-
Gallagher-0093.asp



NEW YORK (December 9, 2010) – Dow Jones today announced the appointment
of Peter Gallagher to Dow Jones Investment Banker's dedicated editorial team. Mr.
Gallagher joins the New York team as a columnist focusing on the retail, food &
beverage, media, and consumer industries.



“With a deep knowledge of investment banking and corporate finance that can only
be gained working on Wall Street, Peter Gallagher brings a fresh, insider’s
perspective to the investment banking editorial team,” said Rick Stine, senior editor
at Dow Jones Newswires.



Mr. Gallagher has spent more than 21 years on Wall Street in both research and
corporate finance positions. Prior to joining Dow Jones, he was vice president and
content manager for the equity trading desk at Barclays Capital. Earlier, Mr.
Gallagher held positions as a research product manager at Lehman Brothers and
an equity sales specialist at UBS Investment Bank.

4.12 Virtual Press Conference
Quoted extensively regarding HPQ in The M&A Journal Volume 11 Number 4



• http://www.themandajournal.com/



















Says Mr. Gallagher: “I think what’s very interesting about Hewlett-Packard is that when the board got actively
involved and forced out the former CEO, the main driver behind it was Mark Andreeson, who has a big software
background.... To some degree, it’s relatively clear that they’re going to focus on growing the software business,
but when you look at HP today, you’ll see that their biggest business is actually their lowest margin business,
and their smallest business—software—is their highest margin business... For HP, it would make sense to me,
and this is a provocative and somewhat contrarian point of view, but if you were to take the printers, which is
profitable and having somewhat of a cyclical rebound, and the PCs, which is kind of a laggard and losing out to
laptops and recently tablets, if they could package those up and reinvest the proceeds in going big in software
and really focus on their enterprise-type business, which is where the future of the company is, it would be
similar to what IBM did over time.”
4.13 Leadership Series Webinar
Featured Speaker



• http://www.dowjones.com/ib/webinars.asp/

























4.14 Provocative on HPQ PC’s
We Said: October 8, 2010 - Two Companies Are Better Than One



“But if the Silicon Valley icon is serious about bolstering its position in the enterprise
segment, it must separate its non-enterprise operations. HP's largest revenue
contributor, Personal Systems Group (PCs), has the lowest operating margins and
earnings multiple, while the smallest revenue contributor, Software, has the highest
margins and multiple...Removing Personal Systems Group would reduce the
valuation drag caused by Palm's on-going losses. It would also remove the risk to
HP shareholders that tablets cut deeply into the PC business.” - Peter Gallagher
What Happened: August 18, 2011 - HP to Evaluate Strategic Alternatives for
Personal Systems Group



http://www.hp.com/hpinfo/newsroom/press/2011/110818xb.html



“HP today announced that its board of directors has authorized the evaluation of
strategic alternatives for its Personal Systems Group (PSG), including the
exploration of the separation of its PC business into a separate company through a
spin-off or other transaction.”
4.15 On Target With SLE
We Said: December 23, 2010 - Sell The Coffee, Not The Company



http://www.dowjones.com/ib/pdf/Dow%20Jones%20Investment%20Banker
%20Ahead%20On%20Saral%20Lee.pdf



“Sara Lee's share price is now at levels where it would take a long time for any
buyer to make a deal accretive. But management ought to seriously consider a tax-
free spinoff of the company's coffee unit to generate immediate shareholder value
along with its existing share-buyback plan. The buyback, combined with a spinoff of
the coffee business should be attractive to current holders, who would benefit from
cash returns, higher valuations, deferred tax events and future growth. Such a
strategy should fend off potential buyers” - Peter Gallagher
What Happened: January 28, 2010 - Sara Lee To Split Into Two Public Companies



“The company is dividing entirely as an answer to recent outside takeover bids. On
Friday, the Downers Grove, Ill., food conglomerate said it plans to split into two
publicly traded companies in early 2012 while unveiling a special dividend of about
$3 a share.” - Dow Jones Newswires
4.16 YUM’s Asian Fusion
We Said: December 2, 2010 - Asian (Con)Fusion



“Take Yum! Brands Inc. It should consider an IPO of its Chinese KFC and Pizza Hut
assets (its restaurants in China are largely company-owned). Alternatively, Yum!
could monetize its domestic Chinese fast-food chain East Dawning by merging it
into Hong Kong-listed Little Sheep Group Ltd., in which Yum! already has a 27.3%
stake.” - Peter Gallagher
What Happened: April 26, 2011 - Yum! Brands Makes Preliminary Proposal To
Acquire China’s Little Sheep Retaurants



http://www.yum.com/company/pressreleases/042611.asp



“YUM! Brands today announced that it has submitted a preliminary proposal to Little
Sheep Group Ltd under which Yum! Brands would offer to acquire all outstanding
shares of Little Sheep, other than a minority interest to be held by the chairman and
other founding shareholders of Little Sheep.”
4.17 RL’s Buyback Capacity
We Said: April 20, 2011 - Can Polo Gallop Any Faster?



“As the company has never had a propensity for major acquisitions, the logical thing
is to return cash to shareholders even faster than the company is at the moment. At
current cash flow rates, Polo could borrow $500 million and draw down $500 million
of cash, bringing it to a neutral net cash position, and still just brush up against the
2.0x level. That available $1 billion is more than sufficient to execute the entire $719
million in authorized share buybacks on an accelerated basis and maintain the new
dividend level of $80 million.” - Peter Gallagher
What Happened: May 25, 2011 - The Company's Board of Directors Authorizes an
Additional $500 Million Stock Repurchase Program



http://phx.corporate-ir.net/phoenix.zhtml?c=65933&p=irol-
newsArticle_print&ID=1567576&highlight



“The Company has approximately $972 million remaining under its authorized
share repurchase programs, inclusive of a new $500 million authorization recently
approved by the Company's Board of Directors.”
4.18 A View on GOOG Antitrust
We Said: November 10, 2010 - Google Opponents Should Put Up Or Shut Up



http://www.google.com/press/ita/saying.html



“A competitive threat is not the same thing as an antitrust violation… It is difficult to
make out FairSearch’s precise antitrust arguments. There are alternatives to ITA’s
software: both the GDSs but also upstarts such as the U.K.’s Everbread Ltd., which
has relationships with 60 low-cost carriers, and Vayant Travel Technologies LLC of
New York. It isn’t clear, therefore, that competition would be reduced even if
Googled didn’t honor ITA’s contracts with other travel companies.” - Peter Gallagher
What Happened: April 8, 2011 - ITA Software acquisition cleared for takeoff



http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2011/04/ita-software-acquisition-cleared-for.html



“We're excited that the U.S. Department of Justice today approved our acquisition.”
4.19 Valuing TIVO Litigation
We Said: October 21, 2010 - TiVo's Out-Of-The-Box Appeal



“TiVo's valuation hinges crucially on a suit by EchoStar Corp. challenging TiVo's
patents... Should TiVo prevail, most cable operators will have to strike agreements
with TiVo to allow DVR-enabled set-top boxes. The value of a continuing
relationship with Dish Network Corp. is estimated to be worth $5 to $6 per TiVo
share, or roughly $500 million to $600 million.” - Peter Gallagher
What Happened: May 2, 2011



http://pr.tivo.com/easyir/customrel.do?
easyirid=CA934452BA6418EF&version=live&prid=750426&releasejsp=custom_150



“TiVo Inc. (NASDAQ: TIVO), DISH Network Corporation (NASDAQ: DISH), and
EchoStar Corporation (NASDAQ: SATS) announced today that they have settled all
of their ongoing patent litigation. Under the terms of the settlement, DISH Network
and EchoStar agreed to pay TiVo $500 million, including an initial payment of $300
million with the remaining $200 million distributed in six equal annual installments
between 2012 and 2017.”

Should Amazon Buy Netflix? - May 5, 2011 5:41 PM ET



http://video.cnbc.com/gallery/?video=3000020472

























Welcome back to Fast Money. we're live at the Nasdaq market site. Let's put our
ear to a wall in a deal that technogeeks can only dream of, a pairing of Amazon and
Netflix. An article was put out making the case that Amazon and its hulking $90
billion market cap should buy Netflix to maintain the momentum and avoid
becoming a low margin retailer. Karen, what did you make of this Amazon/Netflix?

Goldman’s Facebook plan falls apart - Jan 17, 2011 17:15 EST



http://blogs.reuters.com/felix-salmon/2011/01/17/goldmans-facebook-plan-falls-
apart/













And here’s Peter Gallagher, who notes that Goldman’s boilerplate talks about how
the bank “may at any time further reduce its exposure to its investment in Facebook
through hedging arrangements”. Goldman could write options against its own
Facebook shares and likely has discretion to do so against the fund’s holdings. In
other words, Facebook has a speculative shareholder for the first time, now that it’s
made its decision to get into bed with Goldman. And Goldman will think nothing of
buying puts or selling calls on Facebook shares — or even dumping its shares
outright, if it’s allowed to do so — if that’s what it needs to do to protect its $450
million investment.

When a technology is central to what you do, you want to own it. Partnerships are
like renting the apartment you wish you'd bought.



For example, if Cisco Systems Inc. had bought EMC Corp. instead of joining with it
in November 2009, EMC's virtualization technology likely would have lifted Cisco's
shares, given that the momentum around cloud computing has only increased.



Cisco may want to revisit its relationship with EMC; there are lessons in this for
Microsoft Corp. as well.

Dow Jones Investment Banker: Investing Gets Fashionable



http://fits.me/content/dow-jones-investment-banker-investing-gets-fashionable

































4.27 Review / Farewell Email
You have written a number of very good columns, including some that have drawn
attention. You also have good instincts for significance -- e.g., trends that could
have deal implications (e.g., the consumerization of IT).
You have done a good job coming up to speed on both retail/consumer goods and
the tech worlds, and have balanced the two well.
Your writing has improved markedly... The most recent ones have been well written
and well argued... I appreciate the care with which you review edits. This inspires
confidence in your grasp of the facts.
Peter has contributed much in his year with IB, from the beginning, when was
saddled with the thankless task of corralling the deal predictions last fall.
He has had a knack for calling things right. Not the least of those calls was his
brave – nay, heroic – recommendation a year ago that HP ought to spin off its PC
business. “Sure. Nice argument, but it will never happen,” I told him. Sadly, he was
vacationing in the Adirondacks when HP did the unthinkable last week and thus
wasn’t here to bask in his glory with a string of TV interviews.
4.28 Positive Feedback
“I've never seen a provision like this one in an S-1. What's interesting about the
provision is that it treats the NOLs as though such NOLs were "personal" to the pre-
IPO shareholders, even though it's clear an NOL is a corporate asset. If the
purchasers in the IPO fully appreciate the implications of this provision, it should
affect, adversely, the price they're be willing to pay for the company's stock.”

"This is one of the most thoughtful articles I've read on the topic [HPQ PC's]. I'm
impressed. You're clearly focusing on strategy and not the name calling. Have you
been thinking about why Larry is so voluble on the topic?" - IT Hardware Analyst
For those of us around then, the corporate buybacks were like an Armada entering
the harbor during the '87 crash. As each large cap lined up behind IBM you could
feel the market sentiment shift. Kudos on clearly stating such an important
message. I hope your note reaches Jobs' and Cook's desks.” - Fund Consultant
“Just learned your H-P article that precipitated the first sale of djibanker.com since
its release last week to Bite Comms, sight-unseen - they were called by H-P. Nice
job for a first week!” - Dow Jones Global Director of Investment Banking Solutions

5.5 Morning Call Best Practices
It’s a Sales pitch, not a speech
Attention spans are short
Preparation: Use a bullet point outline for Key selling points
Practice: Speak out loud, so you don’t end up reading
Express Conviction: Use your voice and body language to convey confidence in
your recommendation; Speak slowly, enunciate and project your voice
Don’t give Sales a reason not to make your call: Minimize maintenance material
to Sales, reiterating Research to Sales Traders; Avoid unfocused, lengthy Content
providers

5.12 Events Drive Relationships
I launched the Branded UBS CEO Dinner Series on an ad hoc basis. I solicited
CEO participation either directly or through Investor Relations. Attendees would be
primarily limited to ~10 sectorized Equity clients with large company holdings or
large sector investors who could take/increase positions as well as

~5 Convert/Fixed Income clients to maximize the Dinner Series’ value internally
A highlight of the UBS CEO Dinner Series was held with DAL where board member
Gerald Grinstein was making his first appearance to investors as the company's
new CEO. Feedback from the event included the following email from Sales: "Kenn
just called to tell me how much he enjoyed the dinner you hosted with DAL this
week. He was impressed by your insights and is eager to be kept in the loop on
your thinking. He was gushing really”
In addition to building Strong client relationships, my Performance review
acknowledged the CEO Dinner Series as being Innovative in sponsoring events
and building internal relationships with Converts & Fixed Income
5.13 Change Drives Marketing
In late April 2003, Railroad CSX named Oscar Munoz CFO. I impressed upon him
the value non-deal roadshows provide to clients, managements and the sponsor
firm. Munoz would benefit from exposure to clients who were unfamiliar with him
due to his Changing industries. Clients would benefit from learning how Munoz's
understanding of the digital Internet would apply to improving network returns from
a poorly Performing physical Railroad. UBS would benefit as Corporate Access is
one of the top three services clients value in paying firms
Munoz agreed to have UBS conduct his first non-deal roadshow which was
successfully Executed in early December visiting institutional accounts in New
York. My relationship with the CFO later allowed me to market Commodity
Derivatives as CSX began a fuel hedging program due to rising Crude Oil prices
Beginning in April 2004, CSX reported the first of 16 quarters of yr/yr growth in
earnings and Revenue combined with improved operational efficiency and safety
costs. From $15.46 when named CFO, CSX increased >4x to $70.70 in May 2008
5.14 Deals Drive Roadshows
In late April 2003, KSU announced plans to increase its initial minority stake in

the privatization of TFM to majority control. However, there were significant
uncertainties regarding potential leverage/dilution due to the Mexican Government's
above FMV Put Option to sell its remaining position to KSU. Separate from the Put,
the Government owed a VAT sales tax refund
With the stock trading at $11.56 in early August, UBS Analyst Rick Paterson
upgraded KSU to a Buy with a $14.50 price target based on operational benefits
and a probability weighted scenario of the remaining financing issues and resulting
Capital Structure. The base case assumed that KSU/TFM and the Mexican
Government would offset their obligations, while downside risk of $10 compared to
potential upside of $18
Following the upgrade, KSU's CFO committed to doing their first NDR following the
transaction's quiet period with UBS. The recommendation played out favorably as
the parties later agreed to offset and KSU traded at $18.08 in December 2004
5.15 Controversy Drives Trading
In late July 2003, ACAI announced plans to Change its business model from being
a contract carrier feeding legacy Airlines to being an independent low cost carrier.
UBS Analyst Robert Ashcroft assumed coverage of ACAI in mid August with a
Reduce rating due to his opinion that the company's existing assets where ill suited
for their proposed Strategy. My relationship with the CFO resulted in the CEO
agreeing to a non-deal roadshow visiting institutional accounts in Boston
When MESA launched a bid with a 25% premium in early October to acquire ACAI
and maintain the contract model, Ashcroft reiterated his Reduce rating and
recommended that investors reverse the spread. Cash Trading captured first day
volumes following the hostile offer of 50% for the acquirer and 25% for the target.
When the CEO reiterated his Strategy on the NDR, holders exited the stock while
the firm Dominated market share until the bid was terminated in late December
ACAI launched its Strategy in June 2004. However, the controversial call proved
correct when the carrier filed bankruptcy due to high costs in November 2005
5.16 Conviction Drives Deals
In mid March 2003 with the invasion of Iraq underway and Cash Equity Trading
volumes ~50% of normal, UBS Analyst Sam Buttrick made a high Conviction call
on the Airlines that they weren't all going bankrupt and to "buy the casket". AMR
which was seeking labor concessions was his top pick after trading as low as $1.25
on March 12
In late April following the fall of Baghdad, AMR promoted President Gerard Arpey to
CEO after negotiations faltered ahead of a May 1 deadline. Buttrick stayed with his
call based on his ongoing discussions with Arpey and his view that the CEO's
investor focus would lead him to opt for bankruptcy only as the last resort. With a
revamped proposal accepted by all unions within days, AMR proceeded to rally to
$7.59 by May 7
Afterwards, Arpey agreed to host a Headquarters Field Trip as the means to
reintroduce himself to the investor community in his new role. UBS later acted as
Lead Manager of AMR's next Secondary Offering in November '05

5.20 Recommendation
Robert Ashcroft, former UBS Airline Equity Analyst, October 4, 2009



“I was the Airline Equity Analyst -- Peter was Transportation Sector Sales, in which
role he was excellent, as attested to not only by the sell-side Analysts he supported
but also the buy-sider clients. He fully understood my calls and worked hard to
understand buy-side client requirements and how to marry the two. Several
prominent buy-siders told me Peter was the Best Salesperson who covered them.
From my standpoint, Peter made my life significantly easier. He was also
outstanding at understanding what I should be doing to effectively communicate my
message and coaching me to do so”

6.10 Breaking News
CD Idea Bloomberg / Morning Sales Trader Comments



• CD breaks into 4 companies disappointing. CD confirmed break-up into 4
separate companies - RE, Travel, Hotels and Car Rental



• Prior to announcement, Business Services Analysts had Expressed a preference
for the prior Strategy of Real Estate and integrating Travel



• However, as part of the break-up announcement, management lowered 4Q05
EPS and FY06 Revenue & EBITDA guidance and withdrew their $2B buyback
target from cash flow & divestitures due to slowing leisure Travel and a weak
Europe



• In my opinion, while Traders will likely bid CD up, investors may sell into Strength
given no upside in break-up value vs. current P/T, weak ops/acqs, always
Changing Strategy and portfolio churn
6.11 Cross Sector Laterals
GM, Auto Parts, Steel & Coal Trading Ideas

Barclays Capital / Lehman Brothers, 2006 - 2008
7.1 Monetizing Content
BARCLAYS CAPITAL / LEHMAN BROTHERS, NEW YORK

VP & Content Manager, Equity Trading Desk Analyst, 2006 - 2008



• Manage market Driven morning Sales Trader meeting, seeking to generate
Content Complementary to published Research based on breaking news and
position Trader insights Expressed through Cash and non-Cash Equity products



• Review Content for Prop opportunities, monitor Risk positions and track
Performance as well as managing Thematic Investing process, evaluating Best
Execution, recommending Trades and monitoring the FID JV portfolio



• The success of Lehman's Desk Analytics model increased Commissions

+8% ($50MM annualized), reduced Facilitation Costs from 30% to 15%

($90MM annualized) and doubled Prop Revenues on the US Cash Trading desk
($80MM annualized)
7.2 Desk Based Analytics
Going to Market Together
Content Driven Revenue model with greater mind/market share & Commissions
Lowers Facilitation Costs through enhanced Risk Taking
Monetizes Idea Generation through customer Trades & Prop positions
Seeks Origination opportunities through Block Trades, Reverse Inquiries,
Secondary Offerings and New Issuance
“Star Alignment”: Shared Research and Trading high Conviction
Risk: Overly focused on Trading P&L rather than selling ideas; Who you sit with is
how you are Aligned and how you are compensated
7.3 Idea Generation
A good Analyst has a top down approach that focuses on major fundamental
Themes, identifies what's incremental to their thesis then selects outlier stocks that
haven't moved yet ahead of specific Catalysts. This includes seeing Laterals
across sub-sectors. Analysts also gain Conviction from sentiment, Flows and
technicals
While having a Strategic framework, a good Analyst is also willing to act Tactically
in Changing his pecking order of top recommendations based on price
movements, to Change ratings when a price target has been achieved and
fundamentals are Unchanged and to move on when circumstances Change
Underlying this top down approach is an Analyst's ability to generate a better
Revenue forecast than consensus on a sector/company basis, as this involves the
most guesswork by the sell side whereas costs are relatively predictable. An ability
to add Alpha can also be enhanced by understanding what Options are pricing in
ahead of events in order to the determine the best way to Express an idea
7.4 Position Announcement
Organizational Announcement - Peter Gallagher, Content Connectivity Manager



Content and idea generation will continue to be a competitive differentiator within
the Equities business. Therefore as part of our efforts to monetize trading strategies
across cash, volatility, relative value and convertible products, we are pleased to
announce that Peter Gallagher will take on the responsibility of managing content
connectivity. This move will draw upon the resources of Desk Based Analytics,
Product Management, published Research and Trading to position us to take our
content and monetization efforts to the next level.



Peter will seek to further leverage the Liquid Markets morning call, facilitate the
development of thematic trading calls that can be expressed across the capital
structure as well as coordinate feedback among position traders and various sales
desks to assist in translating client mind share into trading axes.



Peter brings 15+ years of industry experience spanning corporate finance,
research, sales and trading to the role.
7.5 Trading Morning Call
Flows have Themes, Beget more Flows
Thresholds: High Conviction ideas, Block names, high volumes/market shares
Axes/Flows: Focus on Naturals where they are axed and how they are set up;
Why they are involved and what’s Driving the stock
Themes/Differentiated Data Points: 1 or 2 Thematic reasons regarding a stock/
sector; Data Points that Impact a Global sector value chain; levels where Trading
would provide Liquidity and Laterals which haven’t reacted
Ahead of the Market: Proactive so clients can position ahead of Catalysts rather
than reporting yesterday’s event Driven trade
Broadened Sources: In addition to Research Driven Cash Equity Strategies,
include Vol, Converts, Programs, Fixed Income as alternative ways to Express
7.6 Morning Call Recap
Liquid Markets Morning Call Recap



• Overseas Update

- Asia was generally weaker as Tech rolled over, Shippers declined and Resource
names followed Commodity prices lower. Europe is higher on a rebound in Banks



• By Sector

- Accounts should consider selling/shorting Retail as a mean reversion trade
following recent Outperformance by the MVRX of +10% in the last 2 weeks and
20% over the last month

- Accounts should consider pairing long BKC / short MCD given BKC’s better
growth rate for a similar valuation and ahead of indications of any negative Impact
on MCD comps from a Stronger US$; BKC recently upgraded
7.7 DBA Conviction Recap
High Conviction Desk Based Analytics Commentary



• New High Conviction Ideas

- Industrials: Buy ETN with upside to the low $80’s as the multiple has contracted to
one of the cheapest in the Machinery/Electrical/Multi sectors. The business mix
has shifted dramatically away from deeply cyclical to Electrical now being 45% of
sales. A slowdown’s Impact should be much less than in the past, there are
synergies from 2 large acquisitions and limited downside remaining in their early
cycle Truck business



• Reiterations

- Financials: Remain seller of AIG on expected continued weakness into its
September reorganization review as a bigger portion of Capital raised could come
in the form of Equity

the underlying Internet-based Technologies IT Services firms were deploying for

members, conducted due diligence on the structure & related cash flows and
participated in preparing the transaction approval memo
Interest Rate & Fuel Price Hybrid Hedging Strategies

Mr. Gallagher marketed Strategies to lower costs up to 30% through the correlation
benefits of hedging aggregate exposures

A.9 Credit
Delta Air Lines

As a Lead Bank, provided a commitment for a bank letter of credit after assessing
that the risk profile would remain Unchanged under an existing credit agreement.
The commitment was required to credit enhance outstanding ESOP notes
guaranteed by Delta pursuant to a trust indenture upon Moody's action
downgrading the credit rating of Delta's long-term senior unsecured debt. Mr.
Gallagher evaluated intercreditor risks and negotiated the commitment letter, term
sheet & credit agreement amendment for a $1 million fee
USAir

As Agent, advised management of the necessity to provide security for its revolving
credit in order to gain covenant relief & financing flexibility in the aftermath of the
1991 Gulf War. Mr. Gallagher modeled the financial covenants, evaluated collateral
values & indemnification risks, negotiated the amendment & fleet mortgage and
successfully sought the approval of a majority of bank participants for transaction
fees totaling $1.2 million
A.10 Risk Management
USAir / Shared National Credit Program

As Agent, Mr. Gallagher met with Federal Reserve Bank examiners to assess
USAir’s creditworthiness, probability of default, collateral as a secondary means of
repayment and the risk of loss during the annual review of syndicated loans
Woodward & Lothrop / Alfred Taubman

As a Lead Bank, Mr. Gallagher assessed Mr. Taubman’s personal guarantee to
secure Retailer Woodward & Lothrop’s seasonal inventory line of credit by
analyzing his balance sheet & the underlying assets which were highly leveraged &
relatively illiquid ahead of the IPO of Mall REIT Taubman Centers
Integrated Resources

As both an Agent & a Lead Bank, Mr. Gallagher raised concerns about the Real
Estate & Annuity syndicator’s increasing cash outflows while reporting slowing profit
growth during the annual review & credit extension process just prior to the
company declaring a debt moratorium and its subsequent bankruptcy & liquidation

 NEW YORK (December 9, 2010) – Dow Jones today announced the appointment of Peter Gallagher to Dow Jones Investment Banker's dedicated editorial team. Mr. Gallagher joins the New York team as a columnist focusing on the retail, food & beverage, media, and consumer industries.
 
 “With a deep knowledge of investment banking and corporate finance that can only be gained working on Wall Street, Peter Gallagher brings a fresh, insider’s perspective to the investment banking editorial team,” said Rick Stine, senior editor at Dow Jones Newswires.
 
 Mr. Gallagher has spent more than 21 years on Wall Street in both research and corporate finance positions. Prior to joining Dow Jones, he was vice president and content manager for the equity trading desk at Barclays Capital. Earlier, Mr. Gallagher held positions as a research product manager at Lehman Brothers and an equity sales specialist at UBS Investment Bank.

 Says Mr. Gallagher: “I think what’s very interesting about Hewlett-Packard is that when the board got actively involved and forced out the former CEO, the main driver behind it was Mark Andreeson, who has a big software background.... To some degree, it’s relatively clear that they’re going to focus on growing the software business, but when you look at HP today, you’ll see that their biggest business is actually their lowest margin business, and their smallest business—software—is their highest margin business... For HP, it would make sense to me, and this is a provocative and somewhat contrarian point of view, but if you were to take the printers, which is profitable and having somewhat of a cyclical rebound, and the PCs, which is kind of a laggard and losing out to laptops and recently tablets, if they could package those up and reinvest the proceeds in going big in software and really focus on their enterprise-type business, which is where the future of the company is, it would be similar to what IBM did over time.”

HP's largest revenue contributor, Personal Systems Group (PCs), has the lowest operating margins and earnings multiple, while the smallest revenue contributor, Software, has the highest margins and multiple...Removing Personal Systems Group would reduce the valuation drag caused by Palm's on-going losses.

 “Sara Lee's share price is now at levels where it would take a long time for any buyer to make a deal accretive. But management ought to seriously consider a tax- free spinoff of the company's coffee unit to generate immediate shareholder value along with its existing share-buyback plan. The buyback, combined with a spinoff of the coffee business should be attractive to current holders, who would benefit from cash returns, higher valuations, deferred tax events and future growth. Such a strategy should fend off potential buyers” - Peter Gallagher What Happened: January 28, 2010 - Sara Lee To Split Into Two Public Companies

 “As the company has never had a propensity for major acquisitions, the logical thing is to return cash to shareholders even faster than the company is at the moment. At current cash flow rates, Polo could borrow $500 million and draw down $500 million of cash, bringing it to a neutral net cash position, and still just brush up against the 2.0x level. That available $1 billion is more than sufficient to execute the entire $719 million in authorized share buybacks on an accelerated basis and maintain the new dividend level of $80 million.” - Peter Gallagher What Happened: May 25, 2011 - The Company's Board of Directors Authorizes an Additional $500 Million Stock Repurchase Program

Should TiVo prevail, most cable operators will have to strike agreements with TiVo to allow DVR-enabled set-top boxes.

 http://blogs.reuters.com/felix-salmon/2011/01/17/goldmans-facebook-plan-falls- apart/
 
 
 
 
 
 
 And here’s Peter Gallagher, who notes that Goldman’s boilerplate talks about how the bank “may at any time further reduce its exposure to its investment in Facebook through hedging arrangements”. Goldman could write options against its own Facebook shares and likely has discretion to do so against the fund’s holdings. In other words, Facebook has a speculative shareholder for the first time, now that it’s made its decision to get into bed with Goldman. And Goldman will think nothing of buying puts or selling calls on Facebook shares — or even dumping its shares outright, if it’s allowed to do so — if that’s what it needs to do to protect its $450 million investment.

 When a technology is central to what you do, you want to own it. Partnerships are like renting the apartment you wish you'd bought.
 
 For example, if Cisco Systems Inc. had bought EMC Corp. instead of joining with it in November 2009, EMC's virtualization technology likely would have lifted Cisco's shares, given that the momentum around cloud computing has only increased.
 
 Cisco may want to revisit its relationship with EMC; there are lessons in this for Microsoft Corp. as well.

  • 82. 4.27 Review / Farewell Email You have written a number of very good columns, including some that have drawn attention. You also have good instincts for significance -- e.g., trends that could have deal implications (e.g., the consumerization of IT). You have done a good job coming up to speed on both retail/consumer goods and the tech worlds, and have balanced the two well. Your writing has improved markedly... The most recent ones have been well written and well argued... I appreciate the care with which you review edits. This inspires confidence in your grasp of the facts. Peter has contributed much in his year with IB, from the beginning, when was saddled with the thankless task of corralling the deal predictions last fall. He has had a knack for calling things right. Not the least of those calls was his brave – nay, heroic – recommendation a year ago that HP ought to spin off its PC business. “Sure. Nice argument, but it will never happen,” I told him. Sadly, he was vacationing in the Adirondacks when HP did the unthinkable last week and thus wasn’t here to bask in his glory with a string of TV interviews.
  • 83. 4.28 Positive Feedback “I've never seen a provision like this one in an S-1. What's interesting about the provision is that it treats the NOLs as though such NOLs were "personal" to the pre- IPO shareholders, even though it's clear an NOL is a corporate asset. If the purchasers in the IPO fully appreciate the implications of this provision, it should affect, adversely, the price they're be willing to pay for the company's stock.”
 - II Ranked Institutional Investor's Accounting & Tax Policy Analyst "This is one of the most thoughtful articles I've read on the topic [HPQ PC's]. I'm impressed. You're clearly focusing on strategy and not the name calling. Have you been thinking about why Larry is so voluble on the topic?" - IT Hardware Analyst For those of us around then, the corporate buybacks were like an Armada entering the harbor during the '87 crash. As each large cap lined up behind IBM you could feel the market sentiment shift. Kudos on clearly stating such an important message. I hope your note reaches Jobs' and Cook's desks.” - Fund Consultant “Just learned your H-P article that precipitated the first sale of djibanker.com since its release last week to Bite Comms, sight-unseen - they were called by H-P. Nice job for a first week!” - Dow Jones Global Director of Investment Banking Solutions

  • 96. 5.12 Events Drive Relationships I launched the Branded UBS CEO Dinner Series on an ad hoc basis. I solicited CEO participation either directly or through Investor Relations. Attendees would be primarily limited to ~10 sectorized Equity clients with large company holdings or large sector investors who could take/increase positions as well as
 ~5 Convert/Fixed Income clients to maximize the Dinner Series’ value internally A highlight of the UBS CEO Dinner Series was held with DAL where board member Gerald Grinstein was making his first appearance to investors as the company's new CEO. Feedback from the event included the following email from Sales: "Kenn just called to tell me how much he enjoyed the dinner you hosted with DAL this week. He was impressed by your insights and is eager to be kept in the loop on your thinking. He was gushing really” In addition to building Strong client relationships, my Performance review acknowledged the CEO Dinner Series as being Innovative in sponsoring events and building internal relationships with Converts & Fixed Income
  • 97. 5.13 Change Drives Marketing In late April 2003, Railroad CSX named Oscar Munoz CFO. I impressed upon him the value non-deal roadshows provide to clients, managements and the sponsor firm. Munoz would benefit from exposure to clients who were unfamiliar with him due to his Changing industries. Clients would benefit from learning how Munoz's understanding of the digital Internet would apply to improving network returns from a poorly Performing physical Railroad. UBS would benefit as Corporate Access is one of the top three services clients value in paying firms Munoz agreed to have UBS conduct his first non-deal roadshow which was successfully Executed in early December visiting institutional accounts in New York. My relationship with the CFO later allowed me to market Commodity Derivatives as CSX began a fuel hedging program due to rising Crude Oil prices Beginning in April 2004, CSX reported the first of 16 quarters of yr/yr growth in earnings and Revenue combined with improved operational efficiency and safety costs. From $15.46 when named CFO, CSX increased >4x to $70.70 in May 2008
  • 98. 5.14 Deals Drive Roadshows In late April 2003, KSU announced plans to increase its initial minority stake in
 the privatization of TFM to majority control. However, there were significant uncertainties regarding potential leverage/dilution due to the Mexican Government's above FMV Put Option to sell its remaining position to KSU. Separate from the Put, the Government owed a VAT sales tax refund With the stock trading at $11.56 in early August, UBS Analyst Rick Paterson upgraded KSU to a Buy with a $14.50 price target based on operational benefits and a probability weighted scenario of the remaining financing issues and resulting Capital Structure. The base case assumed that KSU/TFM and the Mexican Government would offset their obligations, while downside risk of $10 compared to potential upside of $18 Following the upgrade, KSU's CFO committed to doing their first NDR following the transaction's quiet period with UBS. The recommendation played out favorably as the parties later agreed to offset and KSU traded at $18.08 in December 2004
  • 99. 5.15 Controversy Drives Trading In late July 2003, ACAI announced plans to Change its business model from being a contract carrier feeding legacy Airlines to being an independent low cost carrier. UBS Analyst Robert Ashcroft assumed coverage of ACAI in mid August with a Reduce rating due to his opinion that the company's existing assets where ill suited for their proposed Strategy. My relationship with the CFO resulted in the CEO agreeing to a non-deal roadshow visiting institutional accounts in Boston When MESA launched a bid with a 25% premium in early October to acquire ACAI and maintain the contract model, Ashcroft reiterated his Reduce rating and recommended that investors reverse the spread. Cash Trading captured first day volumes following the hostile offer of 50% for the acquirer and 25% for the target. When the CEO reiterated his Strategy on the NDR, holders exited the stock while the firm Dominated market share until the bid was terminated in late December ACAI launched its Strategy in June 2004. However, the controversial call proved correct when the carrier filed bankruptcy due to high costs in November 2005
  • 100. 5.16 Conviction Drives Deals In mid March 2003 with the invasion of Iraq underway and Cash Equity Trading volumes ~50% of normal, UBS Analyst Sam Buttrick made a high Conviction call on the Airlines that they weren't all going bankrupt and to "buy the casket". AMR which was seeking labor concessions was his top pick after trading as low as $1.25 on March 12 In late April following the fall of Baghdad, AMR promoted President Gerard Arpey to CEO after negotiations faltered ahead of a May 1 deadline. Buttrick stayed with his call based on his ongoing discussions with Arpey and his view that the CEO's investor focus would lead him to opt for bankruptcy only as the last resort. With a revamped proposal accepted by all unions within days, AMR proceeded to rally to $7.59 by May 7 Afterwards, Arpey agreed to host a Headquarters Field Trip as the means to reintroduce himself to the investor community in his new role. UBS later acted as Lead Manager of AMR's next Secondary Offering in November '05

  • 104. 5.20 Recommendation Robert Ashcroft, former UBS Airline Equity Analyst, October 4, 2009
 
 “I was the Airline Equity Analyst -- Peter was Transportation Sector Sales, in which role he was excellent, as attested to not only by the sell-side Analysts he supported but also the buy-sider clients. He fully understood my calls and worked hard to understand buy-side client requirements and how to marry the two. Several prominent buy-siders told me Peter was the Best Salesperson who covered them. From my standpoint, Peter made my life significantly easier. He was also outstanding at understanding what I should be doing to effectively communicate my message and coaching me to do so”

  • 125. 7.3 Idea Generation A good Analyst has a top down approach that focuses on major fundamental Themes, identifies what's incremental to their thesis then selects outlier stocks that haven't moved yet ahead of specific Catalysts. This includes seeing Laterals across sub-sectors. Analysts also gain Conviction from sentiment, Flows and technicals While having a Strategic framework, a good Analyst is also willing to act Tactically in Changing his pecking order of top recommendations based on price movements, to Change ratings when a price target has been achieved and fundamentals are Unchanged and to move on when circumstances Change Underlying this top down approach is an Analyst's ability to generate a better Revenue forecast than consensus on a sector/company basis, as this involves the most guesswork by the sell side whereas costs are relatively predictable. An ability to add Alpha can also be enhanced by understanding what Options are pricing in ahead of events in order to the determine the best way to Express an idea
