Approach to Corporate Restructuring
Traditional leveraged buyouts are also known as “hostile takeovers”
and have at times been criticized when the acquiring party does not
have a substantial stake in the purchased company and simply
seeks to make a profit from the transaction. With MBO transactions,
executives and management teams within a company agree to a
purchase a substantial interest in the firm (or certain of its divisions
or subsidiaries) from the current shareholders. The purpose of this
strategic move is to take the entity private and undertake focused
restructuring that will make the firm profitable and more
operationally efficient. MBOs typically require extensive financing
from venture capitalists and other active investors. Many financial
advisors consider MBOs as a highly effective buyout approach, as
the management teams have a vested interest in the long-term
success of their endeavor.
