poomie83 Could someone explain why this would be the case?
tankdan Redundancies: LBO Buyout, PE equity....
ericczhang Debt and preferreds are claims on fixed payments, do they don't participate in gains on higher equity exits. But PE and management equities directly participate in gains upon exit because they sell their shares.

jorellana9 this question is worded awfully vague. I think "level of exit value/enterprise value" would have been a lot more effective
khalifa92 i still dont get the question
thevinu dont preference shares get payouts upon lbos as well?
