Description

The increase in leveraged buyouts (LBO) of U.S. companies by private equity funds prior to mid-2007 has raised questions about the potential impact of these deals. Some praise LBOs for creating new governance structures for companies and providing longer term investment opportunities for investors. Others criticize LBOs for causing job losses and burdening companies with too much debt. This report addresses the: (1) effect of recent private equity LBOs on acquired companies and employment; (2) impact of LBOs jointly undertaken by two or more private equity funds on competition; (3) SEC’s oversight of private equity funds and their advisers; and (4) regulatory oversight of commercial and investment banks that have financed recent LBOs. Illustrations.
