CF's 2004 Deals of the Year

Corporate Finance is pleased to announce the winners for its 2004 Deals of the Year, with Calpine Generating Company's $2.4 billion issuance taking top spot in the best overall/US debt category.

 

Bob Kelly, Calpine's CFO, tells CF that the initial debt deal was like ?trying to build a house starting at the roof,? as his finance team subsequently went on to repackage and relaunch the deal within a fortnight.  Corporate Finance tells Kelly's story, and many others, as it interviews the corporates, the banks, the lawyers and tax advisors to provide an in-depth picture of the most interesting transactions of 2004 for its Deals of the Year awards.
