GLG Topic: Leveraged Buyout (LBO)
A Leveraged Buyout (LBO) is an acquisition of a company through the use of debt in order to gain majority control of the company without having to invest much capital. Typically, the assets of the company being acquired are used as collateral which is why an LBO is sometimes seen as a very aggressive and predatory acquisition strategy.
