Buy-In Management Buyout - BIMBO
To understand this one, you'll need some background.
A management buyout occurs when the management of a company purchases shares or assets of the company. This can be done when the owners decide to retire and let the remaining managment become owners, for instance.
A management buy-in involves outside managers buying into the company, but leaving the current management in their current place.
The Buy-In Management Buyout (or BIMBO for short) combines these two. In this case, current management stays in the company, buying out current owners, and the external managers also buy shares, buying into the company. This can be ideal, as it brings in fresh talent, but also keeps the knowledgeable team around to help the new people get acclimated.
A noted downside to this transaction is the risk of people getting territorial and not wanting to blend the old and the new. How many movies have you seen where people in offices bicker over random things? This transaction can create ideal conditions for such bickering...if not managed well.

All right next up we have an lbo which is
a leveraged buyout and it just refers to the practice
Of taking on debt to buy a company sometimes with
same management sometimes with different players like an lbo is
a bigger venn diagram set than the embryo thing Well
in an lbo the same basic thing happens But in
a whole bunch of cases management is tossed out The
company wouldn't be quote vulnerable unquote to an lbo Had
management done a good job and kept the company trading
or valued at a high multiple where it would then
be almost impossible to make the risk reward scenario workout
in taking out a whole lot of debt to get
company bought and then turned in the right direction Instead
new management in lbo is usually brought in and resembling
moses noah and other biblical characters and their perceived greatness
and there's a stone tablet with a new set of
commandments Thou shalt be profitable or something like that Arguments
are had at the board level and eventually either the
lbo works and the company has taken public again or
sold for a big price Or it isn't and wrath 00:02:06.63 --> [endTime] has had
