MILAN - Inter Milan have secured 350 million euro ($411 million) financing through a U.S. private placement of senior secured notes maturing in 2030, needed to repay early a high-yield bond due in 2027, the Champions League finalists said on Thursday.
The notes, placed with institutional investors, were issued through Inter Milan's media company, which manages the broadcast and sponsorship business of the Serie A club.
Last year U.S. investment fund Oaktree Capital Management took over Inter after the club's Chinese majority shareholder missed a 395 million euro payment.
The club said that the debt reshuffle would improve its financial position.
"Compared to the previous bond, the lower amount and tighter cost of capital achieved for the private placement represent another step in Oaktree's commitment to the long-term success and financial stability of the club," it said in a statement published on its website.
Earlier this month the club had anticipated it planned to redeem the bond.
Inter have progressed to the knockout stage of the Club World Cup being played in the US. They lost 5-0 to Paris St Germain in the European Champions League final last month. REUTERS

Data is changing shareholder capitalism
IF AMERICA'S CEOs have learned one lesson over the last half decade, it's this: Avoid politics. It is the right lesson – as usual, Milton Friedman was correct, the primary purpose of a business should be to increase its profits – but the rapidly changing nature of the economy calls for an update: Avoid politics whenever possible, but never when necessary. The recent history of corporate activism is instructive. Just before the pandemic, the chief executives of 181 of the largest US corporations signed a pledge to 'lead their companies for the benefit of all stakeholders', not just shareholders. They essentially promised to pursue a better world beyond profits. It did not go well. After several prominent instances of companies or executives getting burned for taking political stances – just ask Budweiser or Elon Musk – most companies now just stick to business or at least stay silent. But as data and data analysis become more valuable commodities, neutrality and apoliticism will become harder to maintain. Perhaps Friedman's shareholder capitalism no longer makes sense in the modern economy – especially if your business is working with data. And especially if your software aids the military or helps governments monitor their citizens. Two recent books illustrate how there is no such thing as neutral values when it comes to data. One is critical of Meta, alleging it used its data to assist the Chinese government in monitoring and censoring its users. That decision surely increased profits – China is a huge market – but was it ethical? It is one thing to sell sneakers in China, quite another to sell data. Either you assist the Chinese government in its efforts, or you don't. Another book, by Palantir co-founder and CEO Alex Karp and corporate affairs chief Nicholas Zamiska, argues that more companies need to be explicit about how their values should guide their work. Palantir, a data analytics company that is known (some might say notorious) for its contracts with the Pentagon and ICE, was co-founded by tech entrepreneur and libertarian donor Peter Thiel. Karp, meanwhile, has said that he agrees with progressives on most issues. BT in your inbox Start and end each day with the latest news stories and analyses delivered straight to your inbox. Sign Up Sign Up Politics aside, on its website Palantir says it was 'founded to help Western democracies and open societies harness data to protect citizens without compromising civil liberties'. It would be naive to take that statement at face value. Yet, even expressing these principles carries risks. Google also grew up as a values-driven company, with its (since discarded) slogan of 'Don't Be Evil'. Its employees took that to heart when they refused to work on a contract with the Department of Defence in 2018. The US$229 million contract went to Palantir instead, four years later. Was that a case of values paying off, or values aligning with profits? Google's old mission statement has become a bit of a punchline, and it's worth asking why. For one, it was never clear what 'evil' meant. Is it evil to help US special forces wage war, or is it evil to stay neutral in a fight against the Taliban? Again, regardless of what you think of Palantir's values, they are clear – so unlike Google, Palantir tends to attract employees who agree with its values. Another requirement for corporate mission statements is that they be related to the corporation's product. There's no need for a beermaker, for example, to take a political stance. One of the more grating aspects of Silicon Valley culture in recent years is how sanctimonious every tech startup became about its work, even if it is just another version of Groupon. There are other risks to a value-driven strategy. Karp argues that founder-led companies do better. Google is no longer run by its founders. Perhaps if it were, 'evil' would have been better defined. Palantir may one day face the same issue. It may be clear to Karp and his advisory board what Palantir should do when there is a conflict between morals and profits. But he won't be the CEO forever. How do values change under his successor, and the one after that? All of which raises the larger question: If the most valuable commodity in the world is the ability to analyse and interpret data, is shareholder capitalism now out of date? It isn't – but the Friedman doctrine is in need of an update. The goal should be to have a clear corporate mission that is consistent with what it does and can transcend successive generations of CEOs. The mission may be as simple as, 'We sell beer and hope to make money'; there is no reason to say, 'We make beer and try to save the world'. If a company is involved in data or weapons, it may require delving into some geopolitics, because there is no such thing as neutrality in that line of work. That's why Palantir makes a point of saying it stands for Western values, but you won't find anything on its website about its view of transgender athletes in women's sports. As the world economy enters the artificial intelligence era, and as more defence technology is developed in the private sector, companies like Palantir and Facebook will become more important, and ones like Budweiser and Nike less. That means some big companies will find it harder to avoid politics completely – and will have to consider their positions carefully. BLOOMBERG

UK's Starmer offers concessions on welfare cuts to quell Labour revolt

Jordan Pettitt/Pool via REUTERS/File Photo LONDON - Prime Minister Keir Starmer has made concessions to dissenting lawmakers from his Labour Party on planned welfare cuts, two lawmakers said on Thursday, as the British leader tries to avoid a damaging parliamentary rebellion at a vote next week. More than 100 Labour lawmakers opposed Starmer's welfare reforms, arguing the plans failed to provide support for disabled people and those with long-term health conditions. Those lawmakers have spearheaded an effort to kill the government's welfare bill at the vote on Tuesday, presenting a potentially major blow to Starmer a year after he won a large majority in parliament. One Labour lawmaker, who did not wish to be named, said Starmer had agreed late on Thursday evening to change the plans so that the cuts only apply to new welfare claimants, with existing recipients of so-called Personal Independent Payments (PIP) remaining unaffected. The lawmaker said he was still undecided whether the changes would convince him to back Starmer's plan at the vote. Starmer's Downing Street office did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Any climbdown on welfare by Starmer will be criticised as yet another U-turn from the government following a reversal in cuts to winter fuel payments and the decision to hold an inquiry into grooming gangs. The government has argued that cutting the ballooning welfare budget is necessary to shore up the public finances and get more people into work. Annual spending on incapacity and disability benefits already exceeds the country's defence budget and is set to top 100 billion pounds by 2030, according to official forecasts, up from 65 billion pounds now. Despite Starmer's concessions, one Labour lawmaker, Peter Lamb, said after learning of the changes that he would vote down the bill "alone" if necessary. "To me, it's insufficient when better options have repeatedly been put forward and ignored," Lamb said on X. REUTERS Join ST's Telegram channel and get the latest breaking news delivered to you.

Harvard and University of Toronto make contingency plan for international students
FILE PHOTO: A view of the Business School campus of Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, U.S., April 15, 2025. REUTERS/Faith Ninivaggi/File Photo TORONTO - Harvard University and the University of Toronto have unveiled a contingency plan that would allow select Harvard graduate students to continue their studies in Canada if U.S. visa restrictions prevent them from re-entering the United States. It is the first international student backup strategy announced since the U.S. Department of Homeland Security moved last month to strip Harvard of its ability to enroll international students. A federal judge has since blocked the government's move. In response to potential U.S. visa challenges, students at Harvard University's John F. Kennedy School of Government who are unable to return to the United States will have the option to continue their studies through a visiting student program at the University of Toronto's Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy. The program would combine courses taught by Kennedy and Munk faculty, the deans of both institutions said in a statement sent to Reuters this week. The contingency plans are being announced to ease student uncertainty, but will only be implemented if there is enough demand from those unable to enter the U.S. due to visa or entry restrictions, the statement said. 'With these contingency plans in place, HKS will be able to continue to provide a world-class public policy education to all of our students, even if they cannot make it to our campus this year," Harvard Kennedy School Dean Jeremy Weinstein said. The program will be available to international students who have already completed one year at the U.S. campus. U.S. President Donald Trump's administration has threatened or moved to cut billions of dollars in federal research funding for Harvard. The administration has accused the university of failing to adequately address antisemitism and campus violence, violating reporting requirements, and coordinating with foreign entities, including China's Communist Party, in ways that raise national security concerns. Over the past five years, 52% of Kennedy students have come from outside the United States, the school's media office said. The school enrolls 739 students from 92 countries in programs aimed at developing leadership in public policy and government, according to the Harvard International Office website.
