Corporate restructuring

Sir, What is leverage buyout??? Can you explain me in simple term
John MoffatJohn MoffatTutor7y ago#1
A buyout is simple buying another company (usually, for the exam, the managers of the company taking over the company). Leverage is another word for gearing. So a leveraged buyout is where the company is being bought, but a lot of the money to pay for it is coming from long-term borrowing.

Surely all these are explained in your Study Text (or you can find them using Google)?
