Hai friend,
What is a leveraged buyout?
A leveraged buyout or LBO is a type of aggressive business practice whereby investors or a larger corporation utilizes borrowed funds (junk bonds, traditional bank loans, etc.) or debt to finance its acquisition. Both the assets of the acquiring corporation and acquired company function as a form of secured collateral in this type of business deal. Often times, a leveraged buyout does not involve much committed capital, as reflected by the high debt-to-equity ratio of the total purchase price (an average of 70% debt with 30% equity). In addition, any interest that accrues during the buyout will be compensated by the future cash flow of the acquired company. Other terms used synonymously with an LBO are “hostile takeover,” “highly-leveraged transaction,” and “bootstrap transaction.”
Going private
Once the control of a company is acquired, the firm is then made private for some time with the intent of going public again. During this “private period,” new owners (the buyout investors) are able to reorganize a company’s corporate structure with the objective of making a substantial profitable return. Some comprehensive changes include downsizing departments through layoffs or completely ridding unnecessary company divisions and sectors. Buyout investors can also sell the company as a whole or in different parts in order to achieve a high rate on returns.
The 1980’s buyout boom
Historically, leveraged buyouts soared in the 1980s due to various U.S. economic and regulatory factors. First, the Reagan administration of the 1980s employed very liberal federal anti-trust and securities legislation, which greatly endorsed the merger and acquisition (M&A) of corporations. Second, in 1982, the Supreme Court declared any state law against takeovers as unconstitutional, further promoting corporate M&A. Third, deregulation (relaxation, reduction, or complete removal) of many industry-related legislation restrictions incited further proceedings of corporate reorganization and acquisition. In addition, the use of risky high-interest bonds (also known as junk bonds) made it possible for multi-million dollar companies to buyout enterprises with very little capitalPros- Since this type of acquisition involves a high debt-to-equity ratio, large corporations can easily acquire smaller companies with very little capital. If the acquired company’s returns are greater than the cost of the debt financing, then all stockholders can benefit from the financial returns, further increasing the value of a firm.
