Google and Netflix Buyout

The buyout that we are going to be analyzing is a deal between Google and Netflix. This buyout will be beneficial to Google in that it will strengthen their competitive edge against competitors such as Apple. They will be able to incorporate Netflix with their new device ChromeCast, which enables the user to stream video content directly from their mobile device to their television screen. With the addition of Netflix, they will build on their offensive attack of taking over Apple as the go to media streaming company. The way that we are going to analyze this proposed deal is to look at each companys 10K and 10Q financial statements. From there we will dissect and analyze each of the companys financial structure and determine the necessary restructuring process. We will then put forth a plan in order to initiate the leveraged buyout of Netflix. This plan will give a detailed idea of our fund raising sources and at what rates we will pay for these sources of financing.
