Recently finished reading Barbarians at the Gate and wondered why the debt issued to complete the LBO needed to be / was considered junk?
Forstmann Little is described to have been highly opposed to using it, and I don’t understand why you couldn’t issue non-junk debt given the characteristics (size & cash flows) of RJR Nabisco.
(Completely unfamiliar with LBOs before reading the book)
Cheers!
