What Privatization means for Shareholders?




________________________________________________________________


How Does Privatization Affect a Company's Shareholders?


In a public-to-private market transaction,

a group of investors purchases the majority
of a public company’s outstanding stock shares.

This transaction effectively
takes the company private by de-listing it
from a public stock exchange.

While companies may be privatized
for a multitude of reasons,
this event most often occurs
when a company is substantially undervalued
in the public market.

will usually arise either

and take the company private

makes a tender offer to buy
most or all of the company's stock.

Going Private

Going private
is a transaction
or a series of transactions
that convert a publicly traded company
into a private entity.

Once a company goes private,
its shareholders are no longer able
to trade their stocks in the open market.

Private equity firms
will typically purchase a struggling company,
make it into a private entity,
reorganize its capital structure,
and issue stocks once a profit can be realized.
