Hello getquin,
A partial takeover of Uniper by the federal government? What's up with a vote of no confidence in the CEO of McDonalds? Buy-now-pay-later for business?
Europe🌍:
1.German government plans partial takeover of Uniper.
Insiders claim that troubled energy company Uniper is on the verge of a bailout by the German government. Bloomberg news agency, citing informed sources, reported that the agreement with the German government could be finalized in the coming days. Under the agreement, the German government could hold up to 30% of Uniper's shares, giving it a blocking minority. In addition to buying ordinary shares at par, another option would be to acquire so-called hybrid assets, which analysts classify as similar to shares.

2.McDonald's franchisees support a vote of no confidence in the CEO.
McDonald's franchisees unhappy with ownership changes are expressing a lack of confidence in the company's CEO and U.S. president, according to a new survey. An independent franchisee advocacy group recently surveyed its members about changes being made to franchisee lease terms. In late June, McDonald's told owners that starting in 2023, it will evaluate potential new operators equally instead of giving preference to spouses and children of current franchisees.

3.New types of BNPL are coming more into focus
Venture capitalists are betting that a new generation of startups from Europe will be the real winners in the crowded "buy now, pay later" space. Valuations of consumer-facing BNPL providers such as Klarna and Affirm have plummeted amid concerns about a potential recession. Companies like Mondu, Hokodo and Billie have been able to raise a lot of money from investors on the simple argument that businesses - not consumers - are the more lucrative clientele for the "buy now, pay later" trend
