Private Equity / Private Placement
Private Equity Financing consists of buying equity securities in an operating company. The most common types of these investments are leveraged buyouts and investment in distressed public companies.
Private Placement is funding of securities which are sold without an initial public offering, usually to a small number of private investors. Private placements typically consist of shares of common or preferred stock or can be other forms, such as warrants and promissory notes.
