• Types of Private Financing Deals: Going Private and Leveraged Buyouts

  • The term LBO is usually employed when a financial sponsor acquires a company.
  • As financial sponsors increase their returns by employing a very high leverage (i.e., a high ratio of debt to equity), they have an incentive to employ as much debt as possible to finance an acquisition.
  • LBOs have become attractive, as they usually represent a win-win situation for the financial sponsor and the banks: The financial sponsor can increase the returns on his equity by employing the leverage; banks can make substantially higher margins when supporting the financing of LBOs as compared to usual corporate lending.
  • The amount of debt banks which are willing to provide and support an LBO varies greatly and depends on the quality of the asset to be acquired--stability of cash flows, history, growth prospects, and hard assets; the amount of equity supplied by the financial sponsor; and the history and experience of the financial sponsor.
