High yield debt or subordinated debt

I read somewhere that private equity firms that expect to engage in bolt-on acquisitions and raise debt for it would avoid high yield debt structures in order to avoid high prepayment penalties. Can someone help me understand this, wouldn't the firm still be able to take out new debt without prepaying on existing debt.
