		<description><![CDATA[ (Reuters) &#8212; Foster&#8217;s Group Ltd, Australia&#8217;s largest brewer, said it rejected a private equity offer worth up to $2.5 billion for its wine unit as too cheap and would continue with the split of its beer and wine businesses. The bid for wine surprised investors who have been focusing on potential buyers for the more lucrative beer business, and boosted the share price almost 6 percent on Wednesday to its highest since January 2008. Sales of Foster&#8217;s wine, including Beringer, Penfolds and Wolf Blass, have been hit by a deep U.S. recession and a trend away from low-end, bulk wines in Australia. The strong Aussie dollar AUD= has also been a drag, slashing the value of U.S. earnings. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ (Reuters) &#8212; ResCare Inc said it agreed to be acquired by Canadian private equity firm Onex Corp in a cash deal that values the U.S. provider of home care to the elderly and disabled at $390 million, after Onex sweetened its initial bid by 65 cents a share. The $13.25 a share deal price represents a premium of 6 percent to ResCare&#8217;s Friday close and a 30 percent premium to its closing on Aug. 13, the last trading day before Onex first offered to buy the company. The deal permits ResCare, which also offers education, vocational training and job placement opportunities for all age groups, to solicit superior proposals from third parties during a 40-day &#8220;go shop&#8221; period ending Oct. 16. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ (Reuters) - British buyout firm Graphite Capital is in exclusive talks on two auto industry deals worth a combined $500 million, potentially selling one business and buying another, people familiar with the situation said. Graphite is in talks to sell British tyre wholesaler and retailer Micheldever to Japanese trading house Marubeni (8002.T: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz), the European distributor of Yokohama tyres, for around 200 million pounds ($309 million), two sources said. Graphite is separately in exclusive talks to buy back U-Pol, the car paint and body-filler company it sold to rival AAC Capital less than five years ago, for about 130 million pounds, sources said. Micheldever operates 15 wholesale sites and says it is the UK&#8217;s largest independent tyre wholesaler and retailer with a 20 percent share of the market, selling about 6 million tyres a year. The company forecast sales of 283 million pounds in 2010. Graphite, whose past successes include electronics retailer Maplin and the Wagamama noodle chain, bought Micheldever from its founder in 2006, installing a new management team as part of the 85 million pound deal. A sale to Marubeni, whose interests stretch from power plants to footwear, would buck the rising trend of so-called secondary buyouts, whereby one buyout house buys a company from a rival private equity firm]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Sixty-six percent of Canadian respondents expect their industry to contract over the next five years, according to the 2010 Global Venture Capital Survey by Deloitte, Canada&#8217;s Venture Capital &#038; Private Equity Association and other industry associations. However, a majority of VCs in China, India and Brazil are more optimistic and anticipate growth in the number of venture firms in their countries over the same period. PRESS RELEASE Venture capitalists (VCs) in Canada expect their industry to contract further while those in emerging markets, including China, India and Brazil, expect to see theirs expand over the next five years, according to the 2010 Global Venture Capital Survey by Deloitte, Canada&#8217;s Venture Capital &#038; Private Equity Association (CVCA) and several other international industry associations. According to the survey results, two thirds (66 per cent) of Canadian survey respondents expect the number of venture firms to decrease between now and 2015, while a great majority of venture capitalists in China, India and Brazil anticipate adding more venture firms in their country during the same time frame. Venture capitalists in the U.S. and the European continent also expect an industry tightening in their respective countries, but the Canadian industry is much more vulnerable to such a trend given its much smaller size. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ MeetYourFriends.com , which received $50 million in first round equity funding from venture capitalists , goes live. The social network site was developed by Neil Bryant, one of Badoo.com’s founders. PRESS RELEASE NEW YORK, NY, September 06, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ &#8212; After resolving not to come up with a pretentious name and an avalanche of gimmicks, social network MeetYourFriends.com goes live to a celebration of simplicity and retro fanfare. Having not just received first round equity funding of $50 million from leading venture capitalists, the site is well set to tap into the growing market of 30- and 40-somethings who just want to talk to each other. Developed by Neil Bryant, one of the founders of Badoo.com, MeetYourFriends will not be launched in a private beta for only a select 500 users. When visitors come to the site they will immediately find they are not immersed in a stunning 3D multi-verse, where they can interact with each other via fully customizable avatars.&#8221;It&#8217;s going to be beautiful,&#8221; says Neil, who is not going to give an overhyped, media-crazed keynote speech. MeetYourFriends claim to have identified an emerging demographic of users who, according to Neil, are &#8220;keen to engage each other in casual chat&#8221; and are aggressively aligning their service portfolio to meet this demand. ]]></description>

If it reaches $800 million, the Menlo fund would be the biggest raised in the U.S. this year. It would surpass Battery Ventures and Institutional Venture Partners, which each raised $750 million. But it would be smaller than Menlo&#8217;s last fund which raised $1.2 billion in 2005, Bloomberg said.

		<description><![CDATA[ (Reuters) - The private equity backers of oil firm Kosmos Energy are considering taking it public in either the U.K. or U.S., which could value the company at around $5 billion, the Financial Times reported on Thursday. Kosmos, backed by private equity firms Warburg Pincus (WP.UL) and Blackstone Group LP (BX.N:), had agreed to a deal last year to sell its interests in Ghana&#8217;s Jubilee oilfield to Exxon Mobil Corp (XOM.N:) for $4 billion, sources close to the deal had said at the time. That deal, however, was scuppered in August. The proposed transaction had met fierce resistance within the West African state. Two sources familiar with the situation told Reuters on Thursday that the private equity firms were considering options for the business which could include an IPO, but said no decisions have been made. A strategic sale is still not ruled out, one of the sources said. ]]></description>
