00:11

n b o is a management buyout Ngos on their

00:15

own aren't all that common But in a given company

00:18

inside management might own same thirty percent of the stock

00:22

They might partner with another investor who owns a twenty

00:25

percent or more And then they might borrow say fifty

00:28

percent in debt and take the company private fixit pivot

00:33

tweak live with bad quarters for a while without wall

00:36

street yelling at him And then they might sell the

00:38

company cell or whatever Maybe take it public again will

00:41

The distinctive feature here is that the company is already

00:45

in place Management is doing the deal and more often

00:48

than not essentially all the net worth of the management

00:51

will be in the company leveraged when the embryo is

00:54

completed And that level of financial commitment really keeps the

00:58

team focused Because if things don't work out when they

a whole bunch of cases management is tossed out The

01:26

company wouldn't be quote vulnerable unquote to an lbo Had

01:30

management done a good job and kept the company trading

01:33

or valued at a high multiple where it would then

01:36

be almost impossible to make the risk reward scenario workout

01:39

in taking out a whole lot of debt to get

01:41

company bought and then turned in the right direction Instead

01:44

new management in lbo is usually brought in and resembling

01:47

moses noah and other biblical characters and their perceived greatness

01:51

and there's a stone tablet with a new set of

01:53

commandments Thou shalt be profitable or something like that Arguments

01:57

are had at the board level and eventually either the

01:59

lbo works and the company has taken public again or

02:02

sold for a big price Or it isn't and wrath 00:02:06.63 --> [endTime] has had
