Under the new rule, which goes into effect in January, brokers will no longer be able to cast votes for shareholders who don't return voting material unless instructed to do so.

The change is part of an SEC initiative to make board elections more transparent. The agency is also considering new rules that would make it easier and less expensive for shareholders to add board nominees to a company's proxy voting materials. (See this video for details on proxy access.)

As for eliminating the broker non-vote, O'Melveny &amp; Meyers partner Steve Epstein says considering brokers hold up to 80% of shares in U.S. corporations, the change could have a dramatic effect on companies that require a majority vote for board nominees.</p>]]></description>

But that high-profile case is just one example of the increasingly important role hedge fund creditors are playing in bankruptcy cases.

Hedge funds are trying to "protect positions they acquired in a much healthier credit environment," says Eric Fisher, a partner with Butzel Long.

Kaplan's primary contribution has been Founders Club, an exclusive invite-only roaming party for startup CEOs, the most recent of which was held Thursday night atop a private roofdeck overlooking Rockefeller Center. The rest of us can enjoy the view through photos of last night's event taken by Mahalo.com founder Jason Calacanis, the original chronicler of the New York tech startup scene back in the dot com day when he founded Silicon Alley Reporter.

We caught up with Kaplan earlier this week at Silicon Alley Insider's Startup 2009, where she shared a frank assessment of the challenges the tech community faces here, including the high price of real estate. Watch the new video below or download it on iTunes

New hires at Tumblr include John Maloney as president and Jacob Bijani as creative director.

"I'm much happier in my day-to-day work," says 22-year-old Karp (pictured). And as for Tumblr, "we're moving a lot faster than we have ever before."

We asked Karp to share his experience and offer some advice to help other entrepreneurs just moments after he won the 2009 Silicon Alley Award for Most Loved Product or Service at Wednesday's Startup 2009 event, which was part of Internet Week New York.

In the video, he also talks about the toll fundraising can take on a CEO, calling it a "mental sink." Karp recently raised a $4.5 million Series B from New York's Union Square Ventures and Boston's Spark Capital. (Click here to watch .....</p>]]></description>

"That's not being an entrepreneur. That's being a poser."

(NYSE:GM) could have far-reaching implications for dealmaking. So says Peter Kaufman, president and head of restructuring and distressed M&amp;A for Gordian Group LLC. According to Kaufman, a core tenet of bankruptcy is that there is "equitable sharing of the pain among the constituencies. Here I think you're going to find a compelling argument that there's been an inequitable sharing of the pain among the unsecured creditors." And that, says Kaufman, could make lenders think twice about providing capital to companies that could be a target of government involvement.

But big obstacles remain. The automaker is reportedly close to a debt-for-equity deal in which lenders would write off a majority of Chrysler's $6.8 billion debt in exchange for a less than 10% stake. (Deal Pipeline subscribers can find the details here.)

In this edition of Inside the Deal, bankruptcy attorney Sandra Mayerson says holdouts in the lender group may remain, and she's not convinced they will agree to the deal terms, which are a long way from what creditors had proposed. There's also a possibility, says Mayerson, a partner with Squires, Sanders &amp; Dempsey LLC, that a planned partnership with Fiat SpA could collapse. Chrysler faces a Government-imposed Thursday deadline to finalize the Fiat alliance or be cutoff from further public assistance. See the video below or download it at iTunes.</p>]]></description>

There's also a possibility, says Mayerson, a partner with Squires, Sanders &amp; Dempsey LLC, that a planned partnership with Fiat SpA could collapse. Chrysler faces a Government-imposed Thursday deadline to finalize the Fiat alliance or be cutoff from further public assistance. See the video below or download it at iTunes.</media:text>

            <media:description type="plain">Chrysler LLC's tentative agreement with some of its largest creditors may have helped it clear a significant hurdle in the race to avoid bankruptcy. But big obstacles remain. The automaker is reportedly close to a debt-for-equity deal in which lenders would write off a majority of Chrysler's $6.8 billion debt in exchange for a less than 10% stake.

Exits are the number one concern for venture capitalists, NVCA president Mark Heesen tells The Deal in Part 1 of our Behind the Money video conversation. Only seven venture-backed companies have gone public in the last five quarters, according to Heesen.

"At the end of the day, venture capital is all about returns," says Heesen. "VCs haven't been able to deliver returns to their LPs."

The latest numbers coming from the NVCA show that the closed IPO market wreaked havoc on VC performance in the fourth quarter of last year, when returns declined across most time horizons. The trade group's data on the first quarter has also been disappointing: VC investment plunged to a 12-year low, and fewer VC funds were raised in the quarter than in any quarter over th...</p>]]></description>

Spark recently launched a new seed-stage program to nurture entrepreneurs in New York and Boston, where Spark is based.

"It's not like we're sitting around at Spark, saying, 'We'd love to find a company that's building a widget for Facebook'. We're looking for something really different."

As an example of a startup with a big idea, Sabet points to Spark portfolio company Boxee, which develops media center software and which raised $4 million in December from Spark and its frequent New York co-investor, Union Square Ventures.

Sabet, who is 40, points out that entrepreneurs in their 20s and early 30s have a competitive advantage: They have never known a world without the Internet.

            <media:description type="plain">"We're looking for entrepreneurs that are taking on these very ambitious projects and that have passion about what they're doing and are really trying to do something very big," says Spark Capital general partner Bijan Sabet in Part 2 of The Deal's Behind the Money video interview. Spark recently launched a new seed-stage program to nurture entrepreneurs in New York and Boston, where Spark is based.

"It's not like we're sitting around at Spark, saying, 'We'd love to find a company that's building a widget for Facebook'. We're looking for something really different."

Spark and Union Square co-invest in Boxee, Bug Labs, Covestor, Tumblr Inc. and Twitter Inc.

To get a feel for the mechanics of co-investing, we asked Sabet to walk us through how he met David Karp, the 22-year-old founder of Tumblr Inc., and introduced him to Union Square Ventures co-founder Fred Wilson.

In December, the two firms invested $4.5 million in Tumblr, following up on a $775,000 round the previous year that included TV producer Fred Seibert, entrepreneurs Jakob Lodwick and Martin Varsavsky, as well as Betaworks, an innovative incubator in New York.

To find the next generation of Twitters and Tumblr, last week Spark announced a new seed-stage program called Start@Spark. Through the new program, Spark will invest up to $250,000 each in promising startups in the Northeast.</p>]]></description>

Former Democratic Congressman James Bacchus wishes he'd been able to eliminate them altogether. In this edition of Inside the Deal, Bacchus, who chairs the global trade and investment practice group at Greenberg Traurig LLP, tells The Deal's Suzanne Stevens that protectionism poses a serious threat to free trade, and it's up to the President to keep it at bay.</p>]]></description>

                <media:text type="plain">President Barack Obama managed to soften the "buy American" provisions in the economic stimulus bill. Former Democratic Congressman James Bacchus wishes he'd been able to eliminate them altogether. In this edition of Inside the Deal, Bacchus, who chairs the global trade and investment practice group at Greenberg Traurig LLP, tells The Deal's Suzanne Stevens that protectionism poses a serious threat to free trade, and it's up to the President to keep it at bay.</media:text>

"He's actually one of the smartest people I've ever met," says Porter of CEO Charles Forman. "And I think his public persona maybe hides the fact that he actually works really hard on the product and really cares about it. But he's funny and irreverent, and there's something about the site I think that captures the zeitgeist of his humor....Aspects of the site that flow out from his personality and his sense of humor are what make kids just see it and really get hooked on it and identify with it."

Rothman argued that strategic acquirers are concerned about visibility while developing acquisition strategies for 2009. "I expect that in the regulatory climate there will be a paradigm shift, certainly on the regulatory side, that will impact even middle-market transactions," he said.

However, Turner said there are plenty of middle-market opportunities to be had. "If this next fourth recession is any harbinger of what happens in the past, these are going to be the years -- 2009 and 2010 -- to actually place capital," he stated.
