How Does the Deal Get Done?Highly Structured, Leveraged Finance
“…when a company is purchased with a combination of equity andsignificant amounts of borrowed money, structured in such a way that thetarget’s cash flows or assets are used as the collateral (or “leverage”) tosecure and repay the money borrowed to purchase the target company.
“As financial sponsors increase their returns by employing a very highleverage (i.e. a high ratio of debt to equity), they have an incentive toemploy as much debt as possible to finance an acquisition.”
