The Performance of Reverse Leveraged Buyouts
Jerry Cao Singapore Management University Josh Lerner Harvard Business School - Finance Unit; Harvard University - Entrepreneurial Management Unit; National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) October 15, 2006 Swedish Institute for Financial Research Conference on The Economics of the Private Equity Market Abstract: Reverse leveraged buyouts (RLBOs) have received increased public scrutiny but attracted little systematic study. We collect a comprehensive sample of 526 RLBOs between 1981 and 2003 and examine three- and five-year stock performance of these offerings. RLBOs appear to perform as well as or better than other IPOs and the stock market as a whole, depending on the specification. There is evidence of a deterioration of returns over time.
