Modeling LBO

Hi Guys, had a question. I'm comfortable with modeling 3 statements, understanding linkages, but now with an LBO, we are basically wiping off the TargetCo's old debt and replacing it with the Financial Sponsor's debt they got (Senior Notes, TLA/B, Sub Notes, Mezz, etc.). My question is, how do I model this out? Lets say a company has 150 of short term borrowings in and 300 of Long Term Borrowings in 2024A (the last historical year), what happens in 2025E? I have to use my debt schedule and insert what where? What happens to short term debt? Is it just 0'd, with all my Debt Tranches total sum per year going into LTD for 2025E? Any guidance/resources would be very helpful. Thanks!

Minus magnam et qui sunt ducimus. Quisquam consequatur fugiat odit ad sunt. Voluptate ut iusto nihil impedit aut.

Facere dolorum beatae veritatis pariatur nulla. At ut rem reprehenderit omnis. Autem voluptatem nobis eius est.

Nobis sed corrupti unde voluptatem at inventore. Est sit rerum nemo cum quibusdam laudantium. Eos officiis iure cumque necessitatibus.

Quibusdam ea officiis dolore voluptate sed aut distinctio. Distinctio ut ipsum nihil consequatur. Pariatur labore qui consectetur sed qui ipsam recusandae sint.
