A private equity firm is evaluating a potential 'Management Buyout' (MBO).

What is the primary risk associated with an MBO compared to a standard secondary buyout?

  1. Conflict of interest where management may favor the buyer over current shareholders
  2. An inability to employ meaningful leverage given management's limited personal capital base
  3. Elevated integration risk that typically follows the closing of the transaction
  4. Persistent information asymmetry that exists between management and the sponsor
