Institutional buy-out (IBO)
Last updated 02 October 2006
Description
To enable a private equity firm to acquire a company, following which the incumbent and/or incoming management will be given or acquire a stake in the business.
This is a relatively new term and is an increasingly used method of buy-out. It is a method often preferred by vendors, as it reduces the number of parties with whom they have to negotiate.
