Owner / Management wants MBO to co-invest
There is only a certain level of outside debt that a company can sustain. In some ESOP deals, the owner chooses to take back a small amount of seller notes (IOU’s to the ESOP). A seller note is advantageous to the company and to the owner because in lieu of a high interest rate, the seller receives warrants to purchase stock in the company at a future date. This helps the company because it does not have to pay a high interest rate, and it gives owners upside in the future of the company.
If the owner wants more cash at closing, MBO will invest money.
