Description
Private equity firms, and more recently strategic buyers, will encourage some of the target company's equity owners, particularly those members of the management team who are critical to the future success of the business, to ‘roll over’ a portion of their equity. When the acquisition is closed, rollover participants will own a minority equity position in either the target company or a buyer holding company. The panel will identify the reasons for such a deal structure, analyse the particular challenges and discuss how best to tackle them on the buy- and the sell-side.
