CMBOR Methodology
Data only includes the buyout stage of the private equity market (MBO, MBI, IBO, BIMBO) and does not include any other stage such as Seed, Start up, Development or Expansion capital. There is no size limit to deals recorded.
In order to be included as a buyout, over 50 percent of the issued share capital of the company has to change ownership, with either management or a private equity company or both jointly having a controlling stake upon deal completion.
Buyouts and buy-ins must be either management led or led by a private equity company using equity capital primarily raised from one or more private equity funds.
Transactions which are deemed not to adhere to the private equity or MBO/MBI model are not included.
Transactions which are funded from other types of funds such as Real Estate funds and Infrastructure funds are not included. Deals in which a private equity firm buys property as an investment are not included.
In order to be included, the target company (the buyout) must have its own separate financing structure and must not be held as a subsidiary of a parent holding company after the buyout.
Firms that are purchased by companies owned by a private equity firm are treated as acquisitions and are not included in the buyout statistics. However, these deals are recorded in the ‘Acquisitions by buyout companies’ statistics.
All quoted values derive from the total transaction value of the buyout (Enterprise value) and include both equity and debt.
The buyout location is the location of the headquarters of the target company and it is not related to the location of the private equity company.
