Does it make sense for a company to partially acquire a listed target that makes strategic sense when it cannot acquire 100% without exceeding debt target ratios?
Seems like a rare thing but I can't pinpoint why. The acquirer should be able to implement its strategy unless the target being listed specifically hinders it. Any thoughts?
