As suitors circle Healthscope, its management mulls a different path
The sales process for Healthscope's failed private hospital business kicks off in earnest this Monday with up to 30 potential suitors due to file their tentative offers for its 37 Australian hospitals, employing 19,000 staff nationally. But the non-binding offers won't include a bid from Healthscope's current management, who are contemplating a scheme to convert the company into a not-for-profit entity. It would mirror the resurrection of Australia's largest child care provider Goodstart Early learning, from the ashes of the collapsed ABC Learning empire, as a not-for-profit provider. Healthscope insiders have confirmed reports in the Australian Financial Review last week that its chief executive, Tino La Spina, is working on the plan as an alternative to a sale of the business to either commercial interests or other Australian not-for-profit operators like St Vincent's Health Australia. Healthscope declined to comment. People with knowledge of the proposal, who are not authorised to discuss the matter, confirmed that the plans are not advanced enough to put in a non-binding indicative offer by the Monday, July 21 deadline. But La Spina's team have been consulting with the receivers from McGrathNicol who are managing the sale, with a view to putting in a proposal during the second stage of the sales process where interested parties are expected to lodge binding offers for the business. This includes local not-for-profit operators, ASX-listed Ramsay Health Care, privately owned Healthe Care and a potential debt-for-equity swap that could see lenders like UK-based Polus Capital take control. The receivers are acting for lenders which are owed $1.7 billion, according to documents lodged with the corporate regulator, the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC). Australia's Big Four banks are among the lenders which will be hit with significant losses as the sales price is not expected to get anywhere near what is owed to them. The debt includes $52 million owed to the former owner, Canadian financial giant, Brookfield, which had $2 billion in equity wiped out when the group collapsed into administration earlier this year.

‘Standards': Coldplay kiss cam CEO cheat resigns
A Coldplay concert in Boston is the setting for an awkward moment on the Kiss Cam, revealing a secret affair between the CEO of a software startup and his HR department head. The CEO of a billion dollar tech giant in the US has quit his job after being caught in an embrace with the company's head of HR on the kiss cam at a Coldplay concert. Andy Byron has stepped down from his role as the head of Astronomer after being caught having an affair with Kristin Cabot, who is also a senior executive at the business. Both Mr Byron and Ms Cabot are currently married, and the clip of the two ducking for cover as lead singer Chris Martin called them out to the crowd at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, has gone viral. 'Andy Byron has tendered his resignation, and the Board of Directors has accepted,' a statement from Astronomer said on Saturday. 'As stated previously, Astronomer is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding. 'Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability, and recently, that standard was not met.' The New York-based company said their chief product officer and co-founder, Pete DeJoy, would serve as interim CEO prior to a search commencing for a replacement for Byron. 'Before this week, we were known as a pioneer in the DataOps space, helping data teams power everything from modern analytics to production AI,' the statement said. 'While awareness of our company may have changed overnight, our product and our work for our customers have not. We're continuing to do what we do best: helping our customers with their toughest data and AI problems.' The Coldplay gig was in full swing when Martin spotted the pair on the kiss cam and zeroed in on Mr Byron and Ms Cabot. The moment the couple were caught on camera. Credit: Unknown / TikTok 'Oh look at these two. Come on, you're okay. Oh, what? Either they're having an affair or they're very shy' Martin said to the cheering crowd. The pair immediately released their grip and were sent ducking for cover as the realisation dawned that they had been exposed. Mr Byron is married to Megan Kerrigan Byron, have two children and reportedly live in New York. Ms Byron's Facebook page now shows that she has dropped her husband's surname, and has been deleting social media posts relating to the couple after a mountain of comments spilled through after her husband's cheating was outed at the concert. Ms Cabot is currently married to Andrew Cabot, the CEO and COO of Privateeer Rum, a Massachusetts-based alcohol distillery, based in Massachusetts, The video has prompted millions of reactions online. One user on X wrote, 'Taking the side chick to a Coldplay concert and getting exposed for it by the band itself and it going viral is crazy work.' 'I hope his wife divorces him and takes him for everything he has,' another wrote. Astronomer is a software development company reportedly valued over $1 billion ($AU1.5b).
