Publicly going private
Article Abstract:
A management buyout of a public company can be more costly than a private buyout. The offeror in a management buyout will need to issue an offering circular to all shareholders. The circular includes financial details of the target company and other conditions to the offer. Offerors have to acquire 90% of their target within four months of issuing an offering circular to proceed. The target company's debts have to be cleared once it is acquired. The offeror also has to deal with procedures relating to the registration of the new private company and delisting it from the stock market.
