How are PE firms dealing with exit opportunities for their portfolio companies during these times? For companies in industries that were severely hit, are PE firms going to have to extend their holding period? For companies in industries that were less affected, are PE firms going to wait for M&A opportunity? Would they avoid an IPO and possibly do a reverse merger? Could they do dividend recaps until an M&A opportunity comes up?
