Using NOL asset during acquisition?
Hi guys:
I have a quick question on how to understand the following situation please:
Let's say a fund has a holding company with significant NOL assets. How can they use the NOL assets as an advantage in the bidding process for acquiring assets (esp those sold off during bankruptcy sales process) please? I'm having trouble understanding why that might be advantageous from a tax perspective, etc.
Thanks!
Presumably the assets for sale will generate taxable income. Assuming the appropriate structure, the holding company can offset some of the acquired assets' taxable income with the NOL. Fewer taxes means more $ left for the equity investors in the holding company, so everything else equal (forecasts, required returns, etc) the buyer with the NOL will expect to generate more value and therefore have higher willingness to pay.
Thank you! petergibbons
