The investors \u2014 which include Oracle, Abu Dhabi investor MGX, and private-equity firm Silver Lake \u2014 &#8220;paid the Treasury Department about $2.5 billion when the deal closed in January,&#8221; reports the Wall Street Journal, &#8220;and are set to make several additional payments until hitting the $10 billion total.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><i><br \/>\nThe $10 billion payment would be nearly unprecedented for a government helping arrange a transaction, historians have said&#8230;  Investment bankers advising on a typical deal receive fees of less than 1% of the transaction value, and the percentage generally gets smaller as the deal size increases. Bank of America is in line to make some $130 million for advising railroad operator Norfolk Southern on its $71.5 billion sale to Union Pacific, one of the largest fees on record for a single bank on a deal. Administration officials have said the fee is justified given Trump&#8217;s role in saving TikTok in the U.S. and navigating negotiations with China to get the deal done while addressing the security concerns of lawmakers&#8230;<\/i><\/p>\n<p>The TikTok fee extracted from private-sector investors is the administration&#8217;s latest transaction involving the nation&#8217;s largest businesses. Trump took a nearly 10% stake in semiconductor company Intel and has agreed to take a chunk of chip sales to China from Nvidia in exchange for granting export licenses. The administration has also taken equity stakes in other companies and has a say in the operations of U.S. Steel following a &#8220;golden share&#8221; agreement with Japan&#8217;s Nippon Steel in its takeover.  <br \/>Reuters notes earlier this month, a lawsuit was filed by investors in two of TikTok&#8217;s social media rivals, seeking to reverse the approval of the deal.\n<\/p>\n<p><em>Thanks to long-time Slashdot reader schwit1 for sharing the news.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><script data-jetpack-boost=\"ignore\" async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-1669381584671856\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- Africa tv video display -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1669381584671856\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"3579572842\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script data-jetpack-boost=\"ignore\">\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n#Set #Receive #Billion #Fee #Brokering #TikTok #Deal<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The deal to take control of TikTok&#8217;s U.S. business came with an unusual condition, according to people familiar with the&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":30357,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-52695","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mzansi"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52695","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=52695"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52695\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":52696,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52695\/revisions\/52696"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/30357"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=52695"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=52695"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=52695"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
